Update on Hershy Ten

This is a hysterically funny case of a Rabbi and some brokers working together to get personal information on dying people and parlaying this info into big money by buying variable annuities for these dying people who can't possibly use the annuities because they are dying but the death benefit at the end of the life of the annuity holder is very attractive as a short term investment.  The fraud was that the brokers falsely claimed that the investments were intended to be long term investments when they knew good and well that the guy was dying and that they would collect on the death benefit right away.   If you are looking for a good laugh, click on the above links and enjoy yourself.
