    • Part 5 -  Let me quote Tom Gallagher, who then was Florida's insurance commissioner, in his 1992 testimony before a U.S. Senate Committee talking about Guarantee Security Life:
      • My initial conclusion is that Guarantee Security was almost from the beginning a massive fraud, aided and abetted by blue-ribbon brokers and licensed professionals motivated by their own self-interest.
      • The fraud of Guarantee was a carefully-orchestrated bank robbery, but the thieves disguised themselves with the help of accountants, brokers, and lawyers rather than wearing silk-stocking masks.
      • They operated like early 20th century barons, cloaking their thievery in the guise of a sound business organization.
      • So it's not all just bad management. Some of it, at least in Commissioner Gallagher's opinion, was thievery.
