Warranty Gold Seeks Reorganization - Blames Audi Turbos

After paying $600,000 in claims for blown Audi turbos, and facing an equal amount of unpaid claims, Warranty Gold threw in the towel. "Our customers were getting back their $2,500 premium payment, on average, less than seventeen minutes after paying it. We lost thousands on each A6 and S4 customer, and we were unable to make it up in volume," said Cletus Orangemarlin, Chief Underwriter for Warranty Gold, who added,"and what the hell is a 'chip' anyway?" An SEC inquiry has been initiated.

An example of an insurance company not doing its homework.

More like an example of hook, line and sinker -- I mean come on, "Cletus Orangemarlin"?

Exactly... they filed for bankrupcy, but the release was a joke that a lot of people missed...
