arson for profit
Torching for money
Arson for profit is the crime of deliberately setting fire to property to collect insurance money or other financial gain.
The property owner or someone hired by them burns a building, vehicle, or other insured asset, then files a claim: He was convicted of arson for profit after investigators found accelerants throughout the warehouse.
The phrase distinguishes financially motivated arson from fires set for revenge, vandalism, or pyromania.
