Florida insurance companies steered money to investors while claiming losses, study says

Florida insurance companies reported losses while their parent companies and affiliates made billions in profits between 2017-2019, according to a previously unreleased 2022 study. The report reveals executives distributed $680 million in dividends and diverted billions to affiliate companies, potentially violating state regulations. State regulators are now pushing for more oversight and changes to how insurers pay affiliates.
