McKinney, Texas-based insurance company Globe Life has boasted of its revenue growth, particularly by its wholly owned subsidiary, American Income Life Insurance Co. (AIL), the revenue from which accounted for about half of Globe Life’s profits in 2022 and 2023. Globe Life also proclaimed that its employees follow a Code of Conduct that expressly prohibits an assortment of misconduct and which requires employees to comply with industry regulations and laws.
On April 11, 2024, an investment research firm published a report alleging that Globe Life had engaged in insurance fraud on a massive scale, including the underwriting of insurance policies for dead or fictitious people and adding policies to existing customers’ accounts without their knowledge or consent. The report alleges that the misconduct and fraud were reported to management, but that these reports were ignored. On this news, Globe Life’s share price* fell $55.76 per share, or over 53%*, to close at $49.17 on April 11, 2024.
On April 23rd, Globe’s CEO, Frank Svoboda, told investors that the company had received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania in late 2023 “seeking documents related to sales practices from certain licensed insurance agents contracted to sell American Income policies.”
