William Reed Jenkings, a 60 year old Las Vegas life insurance salesman who attempted to cash in on the deaths of 37 terminally ill people will spend more than five years and ten months wallowing in federal prison.
Good riddance. These guys make me sick. You know he went to a small Iowa town and took advantage of the goodwill and situation of the people there. I mean its bad enough to scam anyone, but terminally ill patients? The man must have no heart at all.
According to the article, Jenkins was prosecuted in Iowa and admitted to lying on life insurance applications to Cedar Rapids-based Life Investors Insurance Co. of America for people he knew would die soon who normally wouldn’t be approved.
