Greg Lindberg, an insurance entrepreneur and founder of a North Carolina investment firm, has pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges related to a scheme that allegedly defrauded thousands of policyholders out of $2 billion. The U.S. Justice Department confirmed that Lindberg's guilty plea encompasses charges of fraud and money laundering. This development follows Lindberg's earlier conviction on bribery charges earlier this year, highlighting ongoing legal challenges for the insurance magnate. The government has described the scheme as extensive, involving significant financial misconduct within the insurance sector.
