Boston man posed as his dead brother to buy life insurance from 3 Iowa companies

News

October 6th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A Boston man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison after an Iowa-based company raised suspicions about a life insurance policy. The investigation began nearly two years ago after Kellerman Jason Zheng made a claim on a one-million dollar life insurance policy. Investigators in the Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau discovered Zheng had posed as his dead brother to buy more than two dozen life insurance policies around the country.

He then filed more than 20 claims with a fake death certificate claiming his brother drowned in China in August of 2018. His brother actually died of a heart attack in 2015. Three of the life insurance policies had been issued by Iowa-based companies. The potential pay-out of two MILLION dollars.

A federal judge has ordered Zheng to pay 49-thousand dollars in restitution. He’ll be on probation for three years once he’s released from federal prison.

Iowa Supreme Court issues stay in dispute over ballot request forms in 3 counties

News

October 6th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has issued what’s called a “stay” — so a district court judge’s recent ruling on absentee ballot request forms sent to voters in Woodbury, Linn and Johnson Counties is unlikely to into effect before the election.

On Monday, a district court judge issued a temporarily ruling that could have meant thousands of absentee ballot request forms in those three counties might have been valid for this year’s election. The Iowa Supreme Court’s action sets that ruling aside, but the court will consider responses through the close of business Thursday from the Democratic groups that filed that lawsuit. The auditors in Woodbury, Johnson and Linn Counties mailed forms that included the voter’s address and voter I-D number.

Other district court judges sided with Republican groups and ruled the forms sent by auditors in those three counties violated the Secretary of State’s order that only blank forms be mailed to voters. The auditors in Woodbury, Johnson and Linn Counties have been notifying voters to re-submit their absentee ballot requests if they used the forms that have been the subject of these lawsuits.
