I think that this type of fraud committed by agents is more common than most insurance professionals would like to admit. From big cities to little towns some agents see this as an easy way to pocket a little cash. The risk of having to pay out on a claim is relatively small compared to the amount of premium that could possibly be pocketed.
THIS IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. THE INSURANCE DEPARTMENTS IN MANY STATES HAVE BECOME VIGILANTIES AND OVERZEALOUS IN THEIR PURSUIT OF HEADLINES. THE LOCK UP PEOPLE BASED ON INDICTMENTS THAT ARE HANDED DOWN PREDICATED ON INFORMATION THAT IS NOT FOUNDED. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS THE CASE HERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN IN NEW YORK. AS A RESULT, MANY LIVES AND LIVELYHOODS WERE RUINED AND MOST OF THE INDICTMENTS NEVER MADE IT TO TRIAL. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
WE ARE ENTRUSTED WITH THE PUBLICS WELFARE AND WE SHOULD ALWAYS ACT AS PROFESSIONALS BUT THAT GOES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL.
I am a fellow Insurance Agent from SD, and someone who knew Diane.
My prayers are with Her and her Family. A Human Life cannot be measured by mere money. Mistakes are made in our lives. I pray that Diane forgiveness, and that those who were hurt are made whole. Insurance agents are people! People make mistakes. This does not happen all the time! And, these misdeeds are alleged, not convictions.
State Farm defraud millions of hurricane victims, and people for them? All in the name of money!
To the person that said no tragedy there – remember this person had a family. Besides dealing with the loss of their loved one, they have to face the fact that she was stealing all these years and was to weak to face the consquences of her actions. Something like this is always a tragedy for everyone concerned.

Can\’t say that $300,000 is enough money to spend three years of sleepless nights.
There is no tragedy other than how this reflects on our chosen industry and upon us as trusted agents of those who pay us to insure their exposures.
