Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) is a common practice in the financial services industry.

I cannot speak to international banks, but in the United States there are specific regs governing the practice. The Bank may only insure executive level officers and up. They must have the written consent of the individuals to be insured and have the bank named as beneficiary and the proceeds of any policy paid upon death must be used to cover retirement plan benefit funding.

Most banks invest in products that provide a steady stream of dividends from the initial policy investment premium. This helps steady revenue and minimize the damage to the banks quarterly numbers in down cycles of the economy. The concern is on the balance of knowing when to get the assets out of certain investments before they downturn and cause the underlying premium values to plummet this mandating additional premiums to maintain insured values or loss of insured values.

Failure to properly monitor these investments and act on market fluctuations has caused some very big banks to litigate against some very big insurance and investment houses losses in the 8 and 9 figure range. The argument is usually the bank accusing the investment house of minimizing or misrepresenting material facts and the investment house countering that the bank was addicted to the dividends because they helped make the quarterly numbers and were afraid of upsetting stockholders - in so doing they stayed in the investments at issue too long and rode it into the dumpster.

I also know someone whose father was murdered by his financial sector business partner for the sake of the insurance payoff.

Great deal for the bank- you insure for 10 million than have a former U.S. Gov. spook take them out. What could it cost 100k or 200k and your up 10 million or more.

These guys aren’t being killed for life insurance. This is a red herring and a rabbit trail. When you make billions, you don’t knock people off for millions.

If they were bumped off, it was because they knew something, or were used to keep someone else quiet.

Come on, we all know that the Tri-Lateral Commission and the Illuminati are behind this. Now, please adjust your tin-foil hat and go get a cup of nice hot chocolate from mommy.

As a former bank person forced into semi-retirement due to the company’s self-imposed “brain drain” that cuts their costs so the executives can make an extra million or two, I have no love for the mega-banks in this country. But let’s be serious here, buoys and gulls...

I got this far and !!!!!, will finish in a minute:

Next we learn that four of the Wall Street mega banks likely hold over $680 billion face amount of life insurance on their workers, payable to the banks, not the families. We ask their Federal regulator for the details of this life insurance under a Freedom of Information Act request and we’re told the information constitutes “trade secrets.”

Amazing how insanely evil everything is. We hit bottom and now Big Bertha is drilling to the lower planets. BTW you have the best graphics for this ping list. Gallows humor is needed.

Now that I’ve read the whole thing, it’s clear that this holding life insurance for current and former employees payable to the banks is common practice and has been for a long time, apparently.

DOesn’t make it any more savory. And doesn’t change the fact that a large number of young men and a woman or two, have died very suspiciously lately.
