STOLI On The Rocks (And Off The Docks)

The Wall Street Journal on Monday ran an interesting piece about state regulators cracking down on "middlemen" pushing Stranger-Originated Life Insurance (STOLI). The article, titled "Regulators Rein in Murky Life Policies," centered around Florida life insurance agent Steven M. Brasner, a STOLI specialist (who last year surrendered a 50-foot yacht named "STOLI on the Docks") arrested by Florida authorities in April on 22 counts of alleged grand theft, fraud and other offenses tied to $78 million of policies that earned him nearly $2 million in commissions.
