Former Disney employee accused of falsifying $120,000 in liability claims

A former Walt Disney World employee faces racketeering and other charges based on more than a dozen fraudulent claims authorities say he made on the company’s liability insurance, adding up to more than $120,000. The Division of Insurance Fraud began investigating Disney guest claims representative Gregory James Washington, 46, in 2009 after a financial analyst for the resort alerted the state, the records show. Washington, an investigative summary states, was hired by Disney in August 2008, and was responsible for investigating claims made against the resort by guests "who alleged personal injury or property damage."
