Ironically, arson is a felony and it's unlikely that insurers cover such events that are due to criminal acts.

Insurers are likely not paying out anything.

    What? No. Arson usually covered on standard policies. Most likely what would happen in the scenario portrayed here is that insurance would go up and future insurance contracts would specifically exclude arson / vandalism.

    Yeah have someone burn down your house and then file an insurance claim.

    See how that goes for you.

    If you set a fire or otherwise intentionally cause your home to be burned down, then no insurance would not cover that. However in this case it is arson committed against the owner of the property, which is absolutely covered by insurance.
