There is nearly a 100% conviction rate of the closest family member if the spouse/child/parent dies soon after a life insurance policy is created

My theory is that there is at least one serial killer that is a life insurance agent or someone that can see all the new policies

How would that work? I'm a generous guy, I like to help people. I'm also a psychopath who likes to kill people.

Kind of like Robin Hood but slightly crazier I go around murdering people who have just taken out policies to help out their beneficiaries.

There is nothing generous about selling life insurance policies so the idea of there being some cognitive dissonance is irreparable flawed

Its one of the most unscrupulous sales person industries there is, if not the most based on how tightly (but inadequately) regulated it is

Its just a cesspool of chasing leads and commissions from people that don’t actually need what the salesperson is selling
