Defendant Stole Over $100,000 During a Four-Year Scheme
BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced today that the Grand Jury for Baltimore County has returned a six-count indictment charging insurance agent Gregory A. Maslow, 72, of Owings Mills, with theft scheme over $100,000, three counts of identity fraud, and two counts of insurance fraud.
“This case is a stark reminder that insurance fraud is not a victimless crime—it drives up costs for families and undermines confidence in a system people rely on every day,” said Attorney General Brown. “When an insurance agent abuses their position of trust to enrich themselves, it is a serious breach that demands accountability. My office will continue to hold individuals who engage in this kind of deception fully responsible.”
In the indictment, it is alleged that Maslow, a long-time Maryland insurance agent, devised an ongoing scheme to defraud various insurance companies of commissions by using the identity of other insurance agents and customers. After various insurance companies had terminated Maslow’s agency contracts, he submitted more than 75 applications for life insurance, falsely representing that the applications had been solicited, sold, and submitted by other licensed insurance agents. Many of these applications were for life insurance policies for Maslow’s friends, family members, and even Maslow himself.
Over the course of the four-year insurance fraud scheme, Maslow stole more than $100,000.
“Insurance fraud costs the average U.S. family between $400 and $700 per year in the form of increased premiums, according to the FBI,” Maryland Insurance Commissioner Marie Grant said. “Insurance agents are in a place of trust in our community, and it is essential to hold them accountable if they engage in fraudulent activities. We are proud to work with the Office of the Attorney General on this case and others to send a message that Maryland will strongly enforce the law.”
A trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County has been scheduled for August 3, 2026.
Attorney General Brown thanked his Criminal Division, specifically Division Chief Katie Dorian, Fraud and Corruption Unit Chief Alexander Huggins, and Assistant Attorney General Michelle Martin, who is prosecuting this case. Attorney General Brown also thanked Maryland Insurance Administration Investigator William Wagner for his assistance with this investigation. Finally, Attorney General Brown thanked State’s Attorney for Baltimore County Scott Shellenberger for his assistance with this prosecution.
A criminal indictment is merely an accusation of wrongdoing, and a defendant is presumed innocent until the State proves the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
