A Minnesota man pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing fraudulent insurance claims for a staged arson he attempted to portray as a politically-motivated attack.
Federal officials said Denis Molla, 30, of Brooklyn Center, falsely reported to law enforcement in September 2020 that someone had lit his camper on fire and that three unknown males were near his home when he heard an explosion.
Molla told officials his garage door was vandalized with a spray-painted Antifa symbol and words stating "Biden 2020" and "BLM." He claimed his camper was targeted because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it.
Police discovered that Molla started his own property on fire and spray painted the graffiti on his own garage. He them submitted multiple insurance claims seeking coverage for the damage to his garage, camper, vehicles, and residence caused by the fire, court documents show.
Molla also created and allowed others to start two GoFundMe accounts to benefit Molla and his family. In total, Molla submitted more than $300,000 in fraudulent insurance claims, of which he received approximately $61,000 from his insurance company. Molla also received more than $17,000 from individual donors via GoFundMe.
Molla pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud.

Insurance companies hire the very best forensic experts to investigate fires as it is definitely in the company’s interest to not pay when fraud is involved and discourage others from committing insurance fraud.
Minnesota Trump supporter who falsely accused left-wing vandals of setting fire he staged pleads guilty to fraud
Finally, a fake right-wing hate crime.
Stupid idiot… now if he had said Trump-nazis had firebombed his house thered have been no investigation :p
Well, that’s one right winger who has faked a “hate crime”.
Against how many thousands of left wingers who have been caught doing similar?
Nah, he’d still have gotten caught. We just wouldn’t likely be hearing about it on the news.
You can tell he must be conservative because he's getting prosecuted for it.
Funniest and most telling part is that he put “Biden 2020” along with the BLM and Antifa part, it’s just too obviously fake. BLM/Antifa see Joe Biden as just another old white guy they don’t like him anymore than anyone else
if he had put Bernie maybe but still
We don’t claim ownership of that so-called supporter. I would hope he was a false flagger, but a few of our guys are bad too.
Umm, charge this @$$ with the full extent of the law.
The fight is hard enough w/o this.
