which was ultimately featured on matt's channel in the videos fans can see matt hall in the vehicle and talking to the owner after the recovery the owner disclosed that he used one of his friends aaa memberships to cover the tow even though insurance companies do not cover towing of such vehicles including side-by-side vehicles in december officers contacted matt about the frauds and disclosed that he took responsibility for the claims saying they were wrong on the front end but fair on the back regarding the delivery of building materials matt revealed that he rendered other services to the particular individual during the call such as lockout services and towing calls additionally after working with the individual on several occasions matt reportedly asked the owner to make a claim to aaa matt also shared information about other arrangements with clients in which the provided service was not immediately charged to the person or triple a during the touring process or later matt

legitimate service tied to it a media outlet reached out to matt and his attorney jason velez to ascertain his side of the story at the same time his lawyers said that matt had assisted the people of hurricane his entire life through selfless acts of giving back to the community and coming to the aid of all those who needed him the attorney added that matt was working closely with the police to clear up the misunderstanding that resulted in these charges besides conversations with the investigators matt has remained remarkably silent regarding this alleged scandal according to the utah state statutes insurance fraud is a second degree felony punishable by one to five years in prison a fine ranging to ten thousand dollars or both so if matt is convicted that means he would face jail time and or a hefty fee however following the case of development in march 2022 matt pleaded no contest to making false claims at aaa meaning that he accepted the conviction but avoided the mission of guilt his attorney disclosed that his plea meant that the dispute was over the process and not the substance of the claims in the end matt was ordered to serve 18 months probation and pay fines which included over 15 thousand dollars to triple a and one thousand seven hundred and forty five dollars to utah's insurance for division matt's attorney admitted that there were some technical violations

restitution and comply with the terms of his plea agreement we're satisfied that justice has been served in this case matt continued to regularly upload content to his channel despite the scandal and charges he's very active and creates content all the time posting over 40 videos in the last four months furthermore it doesn't seem that his run-in with the law has affected his popularity on youtube or demands for his videos on the contrary with publicity around the charges his subscriber count has only grown judging from his channel and recent activities matt has no plans to retire and the towing business or the latest channel especially as according to the latest sources matt's net worth is in the range of four million dollars earned through his career as a professional tow truck owner and youtube channel and through his merchandise which features t-shirts ropes and toys one of the most notable members of winter towing is 81 year old worker ed often featured in matt's videos many thought that ed might be matt's father which is actually untrue reportedly when matt bought the garage property from which he has been operating ed was living there and matt couldn't simply evict him

challenging locations hinting that they were definitely up to no good matt said this is a tourist destination and we have amazing land features people come from all over the world to see it they rent

spacious dry storage and its light he added that it has an excellent drivetrain that he can keep running as it is easy for him to modify and upgrade whenever he needs also jeeps are very affordable compared to many other vehicles matt disclosed that it's not the absolute best tool for the job however according to him having been in the business for decades it does best the jobs is called too definitely one of the most frequent questions especially considering the offered recovery in question which is more challenging than on-road is how much does the tow cost however matt refused to answer the question and blamed it on the signal a true joker nevertheless according to sources the price of the off-road recovery depends on the car situation and location for example if your vehicle is stuck in a forest not too far from safety it might cost you up to 500 however if your car is stuck in a generally inaccessible or hardly accessible location such as a river or lake that might cost you a thousand dollars an additional factor affecting the price is the location to which the car needs to be towed given that mass channel mostly features these types of extreme recoveries one might infer that the price of its towing costs around the ladder matt did reveal that they get paid by the hour however he hasn't disclosed the exact amount matt has launched several accounts on various platforms for his company on instagram he has nearly 120 000 followers while on facebook almost 40 thousand in addition matt is active on tech talk which boasts over thirty thousand followers so there
