Rainier Miguel Salas<\/a>. Investigators with the Florida Department of Financial Services alleged that the Miami resident ran an operation in which at least 820 insurance licensing examinations were \u201csubverted\u201d through the school.<\/p>\nRecords show Salas, now 61, pleaded guilty to uttering forged instruments and organized scheme to defraud in court cases in 2025, received community control and probation. Several other charges were dropped. <\/p>\n
Records additionally show charges were either dropped against other alleged co-conspirators or their cases no longer appeared in Miami-Dade court records as of Tuesday afternoon; those included Salas\u2019 son and ex-wife.<\/p>\n
But the D&R case is now back in the spotlight with four more co-defendants joining the fold, three of whom live in South Florida.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Iliana Bedoya Cuadros, 53, of Palm Springs; Yilliam Bruzon Betancourt, 37, of Louisville, Kentucky; Robinson Lopez Tiberio, 55, of Coral Springs; and Jose Dario Moreno, 39, of Doral; all knowingly used the illegal service to fraudulently obtain insurance licenses in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
Authorities said they were able to tie the four to the scheme using digital evidence, including WhatsApp messages, obtained from the original investigation.<\/p>\n
They are said in the report to be among the \u201cthousands of illicit licensees\u201d identified through the investigation.<\/p>\n
Arrest reports show all four were booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Tuesday morning, facing various charges including organized scheme to defraud.<\/p>\n
All were being held at TGK on bonds ranging from $3,150 to $5,650 as of Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
