?? What would you do if you discovered a $200 million fraud scheme hidden in plain sight? This Thursday, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most explosive corporate scandals you’ve never heard of: Globe Life’s alleged use of identity theft, synthetic identities, and fraudulent policies to create billions in fake value—and millions in real losses. ?? Here’s a taste of what I’ll be sharing at Hou.Sec.Con on 11/21 at 7 PM: -How my journey started with discovering that a fraudulent PPP loan was taken out in my name and spiraled into uncovering a network of fraudsters exploiting loopholes in life insurance. -The systemic failures—from regulators to law enforcement—that let this scheme grow unchecked for years. -Insider tactics: How fraudster insurance brokers exploited seniors’ Social Security numbers, laundering funds into high-commission policies while raking in 150% returns in days. -The personal cost: What it’s like to confront corruption head-on, endure threats of violence, and still fight to bring the truth to light. ?? This isn’t just about Globe Life—it’s about the systems that fail to protect us and the people who pay the price. ?? If you care about exposing fraud, protecting victims, or holding corporations accountable, this talk is for you. ?? When: Thursday, 11/21, 7 PM ?? Where: Hou.Sec.Con User Group Meeting ?? Details: www.hscusergroup.com This is your chance to hear the story before it hits the mainstream. Will you be there? #HouSecCon #CorporateAccountability #AML #Exclusive #News
