It just goes to show you the different in reporting. One article mentioned that it was Josaphine Gordon, wife of Harry Gordon who was scamming the life insurance companies for $3.5 million. In the article below, here name is spelled Josephine and she is the daughter of Harry Gordon, and the life insurance amount is only $3 million. And... these folks are from Australia.

It amazes me even more that a business man who is apparently already a millionaire would get his daughter involved in a life insurance scam. It appears from this article that the judge decided to not charge Josephine in this situation.

What a convoluted situation. I don't think that it would be worth the money to throw away lives just for millions of dollars or any money for that matter.

The purpose of a life insurance policy is to protect loved ones or business partners against the financial problems caused by an income earners death. This seems to have greatly complicated the lives of loved ones.
