Lawyer digs hole for self: Indicted in scams

First, Center City attorney H. Allen Litt would get someone to find a hole.
Then he would find someone to fall into it.

According to a grand-jury indictment, that simple formula was Litt's recipe for success in making fraudulent insurance claims for more than two decades and defrauding insurance companies of about $2.5 million since 1981.

But it couldn't just be any hole, authorities said.

The rules were simple: The holes had to be in front of well-off but not-too-big businesses. Department stores were out of the question, because they had attorneys who would fight every case.

Yesterday, Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham announced Litt's indictment along with four "runners" - people whom Litt, 58, of Bryn Mawr, used to scope out the holes and cracks in the sidewalk and who then in turn would recruit people to make false claims for the purpose of collecting money, the indictment states.
