State Farm executive has been fired after he was secretly recorded alleging that the insurance company hiked rates for California homeowners reeling from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Haden Kirkpatrick, State Farm’s vice president for innovation and venture capital, thought he was on a Tinder date when he started talking about his company’s California subsidiary filing for an emergency 22% rate hike for its homeowners’ policies, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Kirkpatrick said the request was “kind of” orchestrated “but not in the way you would think,” according to the video published by James O’Keefe’s media company.
