Perry Murray Wilson, 53, of Black Mountain, N.C. was apprehended on six felony charges including two misdemeanor charges of selling insurance without a license, financial identity fraud, obtaining property under false pretenses and forgery.
According to the Department of Insurance, Wilson was involved in an elaborate scheme to defraud his business partners by gaining their trust and utilizing their credit-worthiness to establish lines of credit worth more than $125,000. Wilson then allegedly transferred the money into his own business accounts.
Last December’s shooting at the Tedesco Insurance Agency in Asheville sparked the Insurance Department involvement in the case.
“After the shooting, the Department went in to make sure that the company was stable and the clients taken care of; however, when our investigators started talking with Wilson’s partners, details and allegations came out about his scheme to defraud them,” Insurance Commissioner Jim Long explained. He said as the investigation continues, further charges may be pending.
