All or one of the following...for insurance, to cover lost business or to generate local car sales.

I'll bet that the insurance company will sit on the payout pending a lengthy investigation. The insurance company is under to obligation to pay out on any timeline, heck, they aren't even obligated to pay out. If arson is uttered, this will not go well.
