Your Definition

Intentional arson to one's own business or home in hopes of receiving [insurance] money for the damage. Usually done to a home or business that you are having no success selling and are just really desperate to retrieve home equity from. The practice can be prosecuted under numerous felonies, but rarely is, because it's very hard to prove you [intentionally] set fire to a building. Often times, some idiots pour gasoline all over their building in hopes of it burning faster, but that's the most common way people get caught for it. As soon as the cops and the fire department smell gasoline and see it everywhere, you're getting arrested for arson and attempted [insurance fraud], and you won't get a penny from insurance.

The term is in reference to the fact that, prior to WW2, most Jewish businesses in Europe were boycotted, so they [went] out of business. Because they were out of business, and no one wanted to buy a Jewish business, the businesses and buildings were essentially worthless because no one would buy them. But because, on paper, the business and its building still had value, Jews would often [intentionally] set fire to their own businesses in hopes of getting insurance money from it, because that was the only practical way they could take back the equity value of their business.
