Case #1

Let's dip our toes in lightly for starters, here's a bizarre but "not the spouse" insurance case...

It started with a summer job at a nudist resort in Oklahoma… and almost ended in murder.

When I was in my 20s, I signed on for two months of work at a nudist resort. It seemed like the kind of wild, once-in-a-lifetime experience you’d tell at parties — not the beginning of a true crime story.

On my first day, the owner handed me a stack of paperwork. Buried in the pile was a form he said was “just in case something happened” while I was working — to cover expenses if I got hurt. I was young. I trusted him. I signed it.

Big mistake.

What I actually signed was a life insurance policy — with him as the beneficiary.

I left the resort at the end of the summer and moved on with my life… until two years later, when I found out the policy was still active. Even stranger? Former coworkers from the resort had started turning up dead — every one of them ruled a suicide.

That’s when I started digging.

After calling around to multiple insurance companies, I finally found the one tied to my policy — and to the resort’s president. The truth was chilling: he’d been secretly taking out life insurance policies on camp workers and certain members, then allegedly hiring someone to kill them and stage it as suicide. The payout? Up to $500,000 per death. I was one of the lucky ones. I got my policy canceled before anything could happen.

GG's take: This could be true, but it’s unlikely — or we’re missing some key details. An insurable interest must be proven before an insurance company allows someone to own and pay for a policy on another adult. On top of that, most companies have a two-year suicide clause. This clause protects the insurance company in the early years of the policy. If someone dies by suicide during that period, the insurer typically only reimburses premiums paid, not the full death benefit.

So the idea of a boss getting wealthy from multiple payouts on young workers at his resort — especially when they aren’t his children — is highly improbable
