A Denver-area insurance broker, George Gonzalez, has been indicted by a Colorado grand jury on multiple counts of insurance fraud and theft for allegedly diverting nearly $100,000 in customer payments intended for insurance companies. The investigation revealed Gonzalez collected payments from customers but failed to remit the full amounts to the insurance providers, keeping the difference for himself.

The statewide grand jury indicted George Gonzalez, 55, on nine charges of insurance fraud and five counts of theft, all felonies, according to court records.

When customers paid Amerimex for an insurance policy, they would make a down payment on the total policy amount and finance the remaining balance over the policy term. Those funds were supposed to be paid to Pinnacol, after which the company would pay Gonzalez a commission, the indictment stated. Pinnacol discovered the fraud after a new customer called to check on his policy, according to the indictment. “The customer had paid Gonzalez and Amerimex $1,082 for the policy. However, Gonzalez reported via email that the customer only paid $752 and ultimately remitted $754 to Pinnacol,” the indictment stated. Pinnacol investigators discovered eight policies Gonzalez created between February 2022 and January 2024 in which Gonzalez collected funds but kept some for himself, according to the indictment.
