Ok, fake identities are illegal. But why would she need to hide her tracks? Was there something else illegal in the first place, that would necessitate her using fake identities to hide? What?

Well, if I were to do something like this one of the first assumptions I would make is if I use the same identity for each refund they will soon catch on that I have gotten a lot of refunds and shut me down.

You can only get one insurance policy per flight per identity and the maximum profit per policy is limited. So to increase profits you can get more identities and then get more insurance. Kinda how some people have dozens of dropbox accounts to take advantage of the free storage every account gets.

  > Kinda how some people have dozens of dropbox accounts to take advantage of the free storage every account gets. That's only part of the story (and trying to manage storage across multiple Dropbox accounts is a pain). The real benefit would be the expanded free storage your primary account gets as a referral incentive.

Have you considered that taking out insurance for a flight you don't intend to take, with the intent to defraud the insurance company, might be illegal?

  That's a circular argument. Fraud is illegal by definition. The question is: what is it that makes this fraud? (Besides the fake identities.) Was there something in the contract requiring clients to only take out policies on airline tickets they actually intended to use to travel? (The article suggests there wasn't prior to this incident.)
