He's being charged with 6 felony counts for Insurance Fraud
A brother and sister from Diamond Bar were arrested on suspicion of insurance fraud this month after investigators found a video on the Internet that appears to show their high-performance sports car crashing during a street race.
Investigators say Jay Chen, 21, and his sister, Tracy Chen, 29, initially gave conflicting reports on what caused $76,000 in damage to Jay's Nissan 2009 GT-R supercar.
That made investigators suspicious, and when they searched the Internet, they found a YouTube video that appears to show the car crashing during a race up Glendora Mountain Road, according to officials from the state Insurance Commissioner's Office.
Neither of the Chens were immediately reached for comment.
Investigators say Jay first reported to his insurance company that his sister crashed the car on the 10 Freeway on March 16, 2009. They say the sister corroborated the story.
They say Jay later withdrew the claim and said he would pay for the repairs himself.
They allege Jay made another claim about
three months later, this time saying he crashed the supercar on the 60 Freeway in Riverside. Investigators became suspicious when a body shop reported that it had the damaged car in its shop since March, said Jason Kimbrough, spokesman for the Insurance Commissioner.
An investigator from the insurance company, acting on a hunch, searched for videos of the crash on the Internet and discovered the clip, Kimbrough said.
"Sure enough, the video pops up and people start putting the pieces together," Kimbrough said.
Investigators say the damage to the car is consistent with what is shown on the YouTube video.
"The YouTube video was key to building the case," Kimbrough said.
San Bernardino County prosecutors charged Jay with six counts of felony insurance fraud. His sister is charged with one count, according to court records.
Warrants were issued for their arrests last month, and both were booked on the charges March 5.
Both face prison time and fines if convicted.

I was going to defend the guy until I saw the insurance fraud…
What an idiot, extra douche points for blaming the sister.
Ps. for the guys throwing up age: experience or talent rarely cause theses crashes. It is the undeveloped ability to judge risk or contemplate consequences and venerability.

And people gain those abilities through experience and time (age). Though there are a lot of just plain dumb people at any age. And when someone is spoiled rotten and doesn't understand that there are consequences for their actions it kind of slows the process!

Although he's a dumbass and doesn't deserve that car, I must say I'd rather see a gtr get really driven then see it just cruise at 5mph under the speed limit and never get opened up like all the old basterds around here that drive them...

Make an assessment...

^Agreed, although I'd rather see it get driven by someone who actually knows how to drive it rather than crash it into the wall because he's a dipshit.
I'm glad he's gonna get railed in prison, that should teach him a lesson. Probably won't though. Oh well.

I don't think the GTR is really ideal for a twisting mountain road. Long wheel base isn't good for tight turns
I see the GTR has a really badass GT car for 'continent crushing' so to speak, but with the added ability of being blisteringly fast around a race track. I used to hate it, but now that the hype is worn off I appreciate it for what it is. Impressive performance for its specs.

strike up the paean
the only thing funnier than the insurance fraud bit are the comments on the original youtube video. guy says he has 3 turbos on his evo with muffler bearings and blinker fluid and people start seriously challenging him on fake mods.
