The investigation also found Wable issued a total of 15 fraudulent insurance policies and five policy endorsements resulting in premium theft of over $216,000.Wable also fraudulently submitted finance agreements for three dissolved businesses to illegally collect over $165,000. Wable deposited those funds into accounts she controlled and used them for her own business and other personal expenses.

The Department revoked Wable’s license on October 4, 2023. This case is being prosecuted by the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office.
