From: [email protected]: Thursday, November 07, 2013 4:46 PMTo: Deborah Carr; Brian D. Pardo; Scott PedenCc: [email protected]: Problems with premium billing
Debra, Scott, and Brian: First -- let me once again say "thank you" for the amazing product you have created and made available to individual investors. I was introduced to you back in the fall of 2006 and have been a devoted investor and licensee since then. In the past 6 months, you have totally changed how the company handles premium calls. I truly understand "why" you now send 3 bills and then the "Notice of Abandonment". I suspect the main reason is that while originally, the company was only closing 2-3 policies a month back in 2006, by early 2009, you were closing 10-15 policies a month. That equates to HUGE numbers of policies now needing to be billed each month as the escrow accounts for each policy are exhausted. Furthermore, the SEC law suit questions any "effort" by LPI in helping investors achieve a return. Therefore "if" you advance premiums on behalf of an investor, that "could" be deemed by some judge, as "management effort" as part of a ruling to make the life settlement from LPI a "security". So -- all that being said, we have a problem with the premium billing department & process. I say "we" because I truly am a team player, and want to help LPI in any way I can. But you can't fix a problem if you aren't aware of it. The problem? In "some" cases, you are NOT sending out either a "first" or a "second" notice of premium due. "Suddenly", a client is receiving a Notice of Abandonment, threatening to take their investment away from them. In some cases, this is the FIRST time they learn that a premium is due. (And "yes", I send all my clients an annual HARD COPY of their premium obligation report, plus do regular email updates referring to the LPI-policies web site.) Earlier this spring/summer, bills were being sent out for premiums NOT actually due. But to clients who I have worked extremely hard on, telling them to "keep their faith in Life Partners and Brian Pardo", this is a very harsh situation. From their perspective, LPI is threatening to take their investment from them when they didn't receive appropriate notice first. (Yes, I know that's not your intent -- you just want timely payment of the premium obligation.) But nonetheless, that is some of the feedback I'm starting to get from a few of my 50+ clients. (As an aside -- the majority of my clients are either active or retired pilots for Delta Airlines. Many fly long international trips, sometimes gone from home for up to 12 or 13 days.) Maybe you're not getting accurate information from the escrow agent (PES or ATLES). More likely, its due to hundreds of individuals being invested in any particular policy, and one or two slip thru the crack. Furthermore, the entire process is complicated due to most investors using IRA or qualified funds, necessitating the use of several IRA custodians. Earlier this summer, a couple of my clients experienced getting no 1st or 2nd notice, but received the Notice of Abandonment from you. In more than one case, it was sent totally in error. The problems initially seemed to stem from PES policies. But later, my client John Thompson had one, and then I personally had one. I wrote to you about these situations a couple months ago. In all cases, the premium department was wonderful, when the problem was pointed out. But there never was a written letter or email acknowledgement sent to any investor who had a problem. I mentioned my client, John Thompson for a reason. He was so scared of losing his investment after receiving the notice of abandonment on the Piano policy, that he spent $75.74 to not only FedEx funds and paperwork to his IRA custodian, IRA Services, but also paid additional fees for IRA Services to wire the funds "immediately" to the escrow agent. Now if he'd received the 1st Notice, and the 2nd Notice and ignored them, then I would say that it was his fault. But it was not, he keeps meticulous records, and never received the notices. (Hint of the problem somewhere in the billing cycle/process). Shortly after John went thru this, I experienced the same problem in my personal portfolio.

I communicated this, knowing you had hired more people for the premium department, and are working thru the issues. Two days ago, I received the licensee notice of a 2nd Notice for a premium due in my personal portfolio. It is copied below. I keep paper records for every premium call I have received (I have over 50 policies in my portfolio). I spent considerable time going thru my files. I never received a 1st Notice of premium due for the Schimmel policy. I even called Provident Trust to see if I had received and signed a premium bill from LPI, returned it for payment by my IRA, and not kept a copy. No -- Provident had not received anything on Schimmel. I never received a 1st Notice. Therefore there is STILL a problem. (That's OK, I'll still make payment when the paper bill arrives.) But I remain concerned, especially for my clients. I dutifully forward ALL email notices I receive as licensee to each client. I remain concerned that several have received 2nd notices. For many, it's appropriate, but not always. I remained concerned, for those who receive the Notice of Abandonment. In some cases, it's appropriate, but not always. Bottom line, is that I would like to make a couple suggestions. Can we STOP sending the Notice of Abandonment with the 3rd Premium Due notice? THAT is the thing that ticks off my clients when they have not received the first two notices. I'm suggesting we insure we "fix" the process first; giving clients and their IRA custodians plenty of legitimate time, to make payment. We truly need to make sure that ALL investors are, in fact, receiving ALL THREE (if needed) invoices for premiums due on their policies, before undertaking such drastic action as implied in the Notice of Abandonment. Or perhaps you could add an additional 30 days AFTER sending the 3rd notice, before sending a separate notice of abandonment. Second, I would like to "suggest" that a written letter be sent to an investor when there is a "goof" where they either haven't received all the proper notices, or they receive one in error. It's the classy thing to do, admitting you did something wrong, or that the "service" wasn't up to your standards. This would go a long way to showing what a first class company we all know you are. (And yes, I can see the lawyers to scream bloody murder about putting anything in writing about being "wrong".) Next, I want to provide some feedback from my client, John Thompson. John Thompson was hoping to receive some type of apology from LPI over his lack of receiving the 1st and 2nd notices on his premium due last August. He was also hoping that LPI would reimburse him for the extra expenses he incurred, over his fear you would confiscate his investment in that particular policy. I told him I would cover reimbursing him for that $75.74 if you didn't. As fate would have it, John was invested in the Reuben policy, which matured about 2 months ago. I emailed him the notice of payout the other day and here is his email response to me:
Thanks John – When the funds arrive, I’d like your help in selecting/buying another policy (assuming they reimburse me the $75.74 for extra charges – as a matter of principle; it’s really not that big a deal, but they should respond to the issue –it was totally unsat, and their failure to followup is aggravating). Thank you – that IS great news, esp after all the premium calls! John As you can see, he is still unhappy with the lack of response from LPI. He is considering NOT reinvesting. Not because he doesn't believe in the product -- the life settlement, but because of the treatment he has received from Life Partners. I would like to ask "if" you are willing to write him some type of apology for his inconvenience and the stress caused by thefailure to properly notify him regarding premiums due for the Piano policy. If you're willing to reimburse him for the $75.74 he spent for the "last minute" effort to cover the Piano policy premium, that would be the best in his mind. If not, please let me know and I will write the check. I am even willing to reimburse YOU, just so that John sees the check coming from LPI. Bottom line -- I want to encourage that you continue working on "fixing" the problem regarding premium bills, and hope that when there is a problem or error pointed out, some type of communication is sent to the investor. Please forgive this lengthy and possibly rambling email. I just want to make sure you have all the facts. Thank you for your diligence in addressing this matter.

From: G Russell Hagan <[email protected]>Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 10:53 AMTo: Deborah CarrSubject: Re: Henry Huff Chiles/ Puzio
Debbie, Lindy has not been copied on this correspondence. Let me clarify; they were clients when the premiums were put as a lien against the policy proceeds and they werent concerned. It is understand that was not what was in the contract, however; that what was being done for some time. They certainly could be paying, but werent based upon what they had actually seen occur. So, their question to me already has been, if the procedure had changed internally from LPI why did we not know they "procedurally" made a change. Of course the letters were sent, but this leads them to the conclusion of "selection". To them it appeared as a "picked" abandonment. In addition; they also noticed that polices that were older viatical policies the abandonment procedure was not occurring, only in the instances of senior settlements. So their question was how could one class of policies be treated one way and another class of policies be treated another. I really could not answer either one, except point them to the original agreement. I really do not know how I am going to tell them they lost 50k without them putting up a fight based upon the above an anything else they might come up with. I have maintained a good relationship with them, but this is one that will probably go nuclear. They already mentioned they know how to contact OAG and TSSB and anyone else they need. Is there any possibility of giving them another abandoned policy position, anything to prevent a real problem? If not, then I will handle them as professionally as possible and try to divert a full fledge war. Lastly, they are in VA, and my dealing with VA have always been difficult and least cooperative when a complaint surfaces. Sure Scott can confirm that first hand. -Russ m On 5/21/2014 11:08 AM, Deborah Carr wrote:

Well one of the issues is why some policies are " Picked" for abandonment and other policies arent. Example; life settlements are, older viaticals are not. The client will be asking me why this policy was singled out.
We are not discussing silberstein which payment arrangement has been notated in your file.

Mr. Hagan,
With the information available to me I do not show that we received payments for premiums billed in 2012, and 2013 for the Puzio & Puzio policy. Please see the attached premium notices for the Puzio & Puzio policy.
Please keep in mind the Silberstein policy is currently in the abandonment process. Please make sure the payment is remitted by 5:00 p.m. CST by 06/02/2014 in order to avoid foreclosure on this policy. Please see the attached report that shows premiums billed and paid from 2007‐05/20/2014. Thank you and have a great day!

Rich – The Texas Courts and the AG agreed that our explanation and disclosure regarding premiums has been clear and concise since 1999. Some people who have ignored two letters a month apart now are upset over the final notice. You can make their payment and collect it from them if you wish. If you portray our process any differently you may find you are responsible, because we have made our premium disclosures perfectly clear for many years now. Unfortunately, a small percentage of investors have chosen to ignore the commonly known fact that to keep a policy in effect premiums must be paid. Brian

I did in fact send in my instructions for payment to you as requested. However, after many phone conversations with both LPI and Provident, I found that Provident had never received my instructions from LPI. LPI was not helpful at all regarding this and basically didn't care if I lost my policy or not. As far as they were concerned they sent the information to Provident and that is all they cared about. Provident on the other hand finally seemed to care about the situation and promised to get a check to you ASAP. I felt like LPI did a poor job to

say the least. I did disregard the second notice because I had sent the information in as soon as I had received it. When the third notice came I was shocked and acted immediately by faxing the information directly to Provident, which I will do from now on in the future as it seems LPI doesn't care one way or the other. I seem to be the first and only person that this has ever happened to, so I won't take that chance again.
Hopefully, the word I received that this would be taken care of and the policy would not be abandoned is exactly what will happen.
As a person coming from a management background in customer service, I can say how far customer service has slipped and how saddened I am by 98% of the responses received by those in customer service. Sincerely,

Good afternoon Mona,
My purpose today is to explain the LPI abandonment policy. Prior to this year LPI has worked with investors as far as their ability to make premium calls by securing a lien against the individual investors fractional piece and then recouping their money at maturity. This was an interest FREE deal to the investor. Once the SEC entered the picture, LPI was forced to discontinue this gracious practice. Today, it is more important than ever for you to make your premium call payments at the first notification to avoid abandoning your fractional interest. We are very aware that even after you have made your payment you sometimes receive another notification of payment due. Please disregard if you know you made it as the payment and letters just crossed in the mail. This problem is most often encountered with IRA funds because the money must go to Provident and then down to Advance Trust which slows down the process. LPI is being super cautious by repeatedly reminding you so they don't have to enforce the abandonment procedure.
Let me remind you that you have been making premium calls from Day 1 because about 40 to 50% of your investment went to your own individual escrow accounts for each fractional piece. You can see this by going to www.lpi-policies.com and clicking on the tab Atlas Escrow History. Once a policy exceeds the Life Expectancy and your initial premium supply is exhausted then we all get premium payment bills. While each payment does decrease our final ROI, the beauty of this investment is you would have to make ABOUT seven or more payments on a policy before you would ever be upside down and even then you would be losing a very small percentage each year. Compare this with your investments in the stock market where on any given day you can wake up and discover the market crashed and took a substantial portion of your net worth with it. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to be drawing your stock portfolio down while the market is down your nest egg disappears rapidly. The point being an investment in Life Settlements is perfect for a PORTION of your total portfolio and premium calls are a part of this investment. My wife, parents, in-laws and siblings hate

them as much as everyone does. If you do not know your user name and password for the LPI website above please call customer service at 800-368-5569 to receive a new one.
I also wanted to give you a "heads up" that Provident is working on improving their procedures, which in the short term could result in transactional delays of 1-3 business days from their standard processing times. Provident will be closed this Friday, May 17th, 2013 and will reopen on Monday, May 20th, 2013 at 7:00 am PST.

I am just trying to make it clear to you that the charges for the ministerial services are a very small fraction of your investment, or put another way, the value of the death benefits you hold. It strikes me that a sensible investor would not put these at risk due to a lack of communication if LPI were not in the picture. I am satisfied you are aware.

To: Merle Owens Subject: RE: charges for services????? Merle – I told you if you have paid you may disregard the notice. If you have paid which you said you have do not worry, we are not going to list you with the credit services. To make matters very clear we are not acting on your accounts. That means you must pay the invoices. If you strenuously disagree you may request further consideration. However, that will have to be taken up with our CR people, not me! SO, PAY THE BILLS AS RECEIVED! What I mean to say, we are not adjusting your bill. So, you need to PAY the bill as received. I realize I said we would not take action until I got back with you AND WE HAVE’T!. We have now decided to take no action on your bill which means it must be paid. Sincerely,

More than 4 years ago my wife & I invested our retirement savings $500,000+ with Life Partners. We were told it was SAFE, TROUBLE FREE, & WORRY FREE. We believed all that, and were pleased when we received TWO payouts in the first two years. Although we began to hear of the poor underwriting your organization had & were doing we didn’t experience those problems until the last two & one half years.. It has been nearly thirty (30) MONTHS since we have received a payout, and are now told we will need to supplement our original investment with an additional $10,000 in 2015 to keep our investment in our policies in our name. Then we receive your new PLATFORM SERVICE CHARGE on our three portfolios. The amounts are certainly excessive, no explanation of what you did to earn these amounts, or proof that we agreed to any such service from your organization. All you stated was‐‐‐‐DUE UPON RECEIPT !!!!! Your charge on Natalie’s IRA of $27,000 ‐‐ $564.00 is outrageous.

While I personally doubt you will ever see this email, I do have a record of it being sent.

I am sorry but it is much more complicated than you may realize. For you to replace us and ATLES every investor of every policy your clients are invested in would have to agree. Take my word for it, it gets more complicated from there. Just pay the fee and get over it. You would, in essence would have to track every policy to determine when a maturity has occurred. You would have to get permission from the insurance carriers to allow you access for management purposes. This is just the beginning. You cannot duplicate 24 years of business evolution and the highly sophisticated technology that does this task. But, if you are able to get every investor in every policy to agree that you should provide the services LPI does we’ll talk.

there is an issue with LPI's cash flow, that is poor business practice as we know they have made tons of income on these transactions to date. At best, this should apply ONLY to new policies acquired AFTER full disclosure and alternative options should be provided. In fact, what I want is the process for checking these items myself. Who do I coordinate with going forward on the 6 units that I have? For $500 a year, this is something I would rather do directly. Thanks ..

From: Tim Terry [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2014 8:43 AM To: Jim Wilkie Subject: Update on the new LPI Ministerial Service Fee
Jim, Last week we all received a letter and an invoice from Life Partners notifying us of new and unexpected admin fees associated with our life settlement investments. I understand no one likes to be charged for what they have received at no charge in the past. I too am paying this service charge. This certainly could have been handled much better. For instance, they could have notified me and the other licensees in advanced. Unfortunately, many of you were notified before me. They said that this charge was retroactive, but what they meant to say and I have verified this, is that the payment is in "arrears". This simply means that like my home owners insurance, I pay at the beginning and not at the end of the insurance period. I was told that the next invoice would not be for 12 months. I have to remind myself that LPI is like Remax. They find the deal and arrange for the buyers and sellers to come together, but they never handle the money. The only reason that LPI stays involved is to make sure the investors know when premiums are due and to make sure that everyone pays them on time. If one investor decided they did not want to pay further premiums, all the other investors would have that particular life policy in jeopardy for lack of premium payment. Having LPI stay on top of this for us is a real service that up till now they have handled at no charge. They also stay up to date on when these policies mature. Every single day someone needs to check on these policies to make sure that we are notified when the individual passes. LPI again is not required to do this for free. I am so thankful that they do this for all of us. Technically, by contract- (Policy Funding Agreement), LPI is not obligated to provide any further service beyond the policy acquisition. That is why Brian stated in the letter the ministerial services LPI has provided all these years has been more than the contract called for and at LPI's expense.

It is not hard to figure out that LPI has been operating at a lose for 8 quarters. I do not know how long they can sustain an operating loss. If LPI were to go under, it would not jeopardize our investment. However, it would be chaotic to say the least. I have a substantial amount invested and if this service fee is what prevents that potential situation from occurring then I will do my part. The last thing we want is to have to monitor these policies ourselves. Most of my investors have had at least one policy maturity. I am getting notified every week as to more maturities. Many of these were purchased in 2009. Well most of us invested in 2010 and 2011. Our time is coming! My recommendation is to pay the fee and stay focused on these maturities that are yielding 10% or better compounded rates as an average. I will continue to monitor this situation carefully and will keep you posted on further information as it becomes available. You are welcome to email Brian Pardo directly if you like. These are simply my thoughts. ([email protected]) My Best Always, Tim Terry 214.616.5116

I approve as well and Harold has indicated he is in agreement and will return the response to Scott as soon as he gets it. I have also asked the Board to set the Officer bonus pool for the third quarter sufficient to deliver a net $25,000 per officer for the truly great job our officers have done especially in regards to the platform fee introduction and collection from a group of roughly 21,000 accounts holding 105,000 active accounts.

Linda - To say the least I am shocked by the size and scope of this latest deficit. I was just beginning to feel that you had matters under control. It has not been personal as you correctly point out, but Linda, you certainly have had the opportunity to talk with me long before things get to the crisis stage they are apparently at now.
I don't have that kind of money laying around and even if I did I would need more than a three or four day notice. The assets of the trust are mainly comprised by LPHI stock and various real estate holdings. We have put the 112' on hold dueto lack of liquidity. Cash is generated by dividends which are heavily taxed. So, even though you think I can't run out of money, I can!
The rescue is near and dear to my heart and you have great compassion as well. But Linda, we cannot fix this problem in a day or so. I can help you with the payroll, but I have to think about how we can deal with the other problems. To make matters worse, property taxes are payable this month on all of the properties owned by the trust. This is a significant amount. When it rains it pours! Let me think about it, but we have a serious problem here Linda. Brian

Brian,
I have tried everything to create additional revenue HEDR to not have to ask for help from you but have been unsuccessful. The brochure mailout has not been successful so far but it is still early. Confirms that services and the donation from the trust & LPHI are all that can be counted on. Clinic is increasing revenue but couldn't make enough money fast enough to stop the financial snow ball effect that started the first of the year. (three payrolls month of Jan/Sept)
HEDR has a total sum of $2,000 in the account. Payroll is this Wednesday and again in two weeks after that. None of the bills for January have been paid and are due on the 5th. We have a few still outstanding from December. Debra Hanford and myself have been working very hard to eliminate excess spending and have reduced expenditures to try to get back on track.
2009 January and again in Seotember had three payroll periods only two are in the budget. Servey, architectural designs, plumbing, HVAC & engineering designs have mostly been paid for Park Meadow (allowing building to be ready to be built when given green light) along with expensive medical treatments taken out of HEDR budget for our personal dogs that just recently reimbursed all of this has contributed to the current lack of funds.
I don't want you to be disapointed or mad at me but even if you are it won't make this go away. This is a business issue not personal. I have tried my best to reorganize and cut back but it has finally caught up with me. The clinic is just too new (opened August) to

contribute soon enough. The good news is all taxes are paid providing calculations were corectly deducted each payroll period by CPA. This is a first for HEDR. I have tried to talk to you but have been very limited on time with you. Let's face it you have been pretty occupied with LPHI understandably and not really wanted to listen to me anyway. I don't mean to be a constant drain financially but at this point time is running out and I have no where else to turn. Food order and medical order for supplies have been put on hold by supplier because of non- payment. I really need to be reimbursed by the trust $285,275.65 spent on plans for Big building at Park Meadow. An itemized list is available. This will get HEDR through January until next Wire for Feb comes. Debra and I are working very hard to make sure we can manage after this help on what is donated by Trust and LPHI. Please let me know something ASAP. Linda Robinson-Pardo Owner/Founder/Pack Leader Happy Endings Dog Rescue "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

It has been a little confusing. What I sent you are the docs for Shamrock for Descartes and Valance portfolios. They are just the standard documents and may overlap some for life settlements. Scott has not involved me in the Robin Rock purchases, so I cannot speak for that. Let me know if I need to do anything there. Otherwise, everything you have from me is for the transfer of ownership between Descartes, Valance, and Shamrock.

Debbie,
Will you please review Elle's response? I know that is how we processed the transfer from LPI to Robin Rock, but that was a one-time exception. This is a little different. I am also not sure if the money will be transferred directly from Shamrock to Robin Rock and if it will be handled as a direct resale. She is asking if we could waive the $200.00 fee and I know that is not our fee to waive. Do you think we could work on the 6%?
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you,

Sonja,
I will come back to you in relation to the Tevlin Policies in a seperate email.
I note the amount of the fees to be charged and I was not aware of the extent of the these expenses.
The terms are simple, these positions are being sold as a parcel for a total price of USD 1.7 million, there is no individual price for each position.
As the buyer is not aware of the costs and fees you advise to me, they will have to be paid by the seller and I can make arrangments for that.
As you will be getting 6% on the purchase price, which is not a small amount, and as there are a large number of individual positions can you ask Debbie or Brian whether they would be willing to waive the $200.00 per position charge on this occasion. In any event I would be grateful if you would make a start on the documentation.
Thank you for your help Sonja and I wait to hear from you.
Best regards,
Elle

Rafael- MBC did the same thing with both AIDS and Senior policies. They manipulated the LE's. Since they did this first on AIDS policies they just excused the whole issue by saying such policies could not be underwritten. Isn't it interesting to note that the ratio's are the same for both types of policies.
What you have to do is explain that there is never a good defense against fraud. Our returns, including 1,800 or so deaths and the on-going purchasing of AIDS policies by our roughly 12,000 strong investor base over nearly 12 years should make your clients realize the strength of our position and the credibility of our underwriting.
Regarding AIDS, our medical underwriting has been done by the same group since the beginning. Dr. Cassidy leads the Oncology Center at Washoe Medical Center, and these people have underwritten ALL of our AIDS policies for 12 years.
We have a very large demand for AIDS policies. If your clients don't want them, concentrate on

Seniors, and let them know I said that! Brian -----Original Message----- From: Rafael Ardila [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 8:39 PM To: Brian D. Pardo Cc: Lou Londono; Lou Londono; Lou Londono Subject: Queries about AIDS underwriting Dear Brian, I know Lou emailed you yesterday with these same queries but due to its urgency I translated your message below and sent it to our agents in an attempt to satisfy their inquiries since some of the questions now are more or less the same we got back in July last year when Mutual Benefits' shifted from HIV policies to other terminal illness and senior life settlements. Today I received mails that insist in having this information from Waco and updated with current data plus two additional questions: 1. Name the physicians, independent medical professionals, laboratories, etc. involved in the underwriting process. 2. Statistics on AIDS' policies that are past the projected date of maturity indicating how long the time is lapsed beyond rated Life Expectancy. It is worthwhile to mention here that the hit/miss ratios published by MB Receiver are: For 6,851 HIV active policies: 98.7% beyond rated Life Expectancy 1.3% not beyond rated Life Expectancy For 806 Non-HIV active policies: 98.7% beyond rated Life Expectancy 1.3% not beyond rated Life Expectancy It is not possible to conclude that the HIV policies were not correctly underwritten or that the Non-HIV policies were correctly underwritten since MB Receiver did not publish how many of these policies still have the projected maturity date to come and how many have past the projected maturity date. In spite of that, Mutual Benefits agents circulate their interpretation in Latin America: They put the blame on new drugs that extend patients life and conclude it is impossible to underwrite AIDS life expectancy. Is it possible to have from Waco a complement to your email below? Finally, I am traveling to Colombia on Monday and I perceive the atmosphere down there is loaded with comments about change in investors' appetite for Senior Life Settlements and it would certainly help a lot to have some SLS inventory. We have an agent in Colombia that assures he can place the whole SLS policies with $100,000 of acquisition cost, which in my opinion is too low but could we at least share portions of $100,000 in SLS policies?

Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 14:27:37 -0500 Lou- Scott is out of town, so I will respond to your questions. He will send the back-up reports on Monday. 1. AIDS - From a return prospective we have provided our client base of 12,000 investors with average 17% annual returns on capital for 11 years running. This very fact alone speaks to our expertise in underwriting AIDS policies. You are right in that HIV/AIDS patients live longer than before, but AIDS remains the most predictable 100% fatal disease known to man. When the drug cocktails first came out, lives were extended by about 2-3 years on average. This benefit began to slide when mutations began to set in. AIDS is the most mutable disease known to man also. Further, since AIDS is a virus there is no cure, period. When underwriting AIDS policies we first determine that the patient has, indeed, progressed to AIDS. We do not buy HIV policies. Then we look at the progress of the disease and how well the patient is responding to the drugs. When we see that the positive response is largely over we can underwrite the LE. Our medical underwriters are all Oncologists who are used to working with diseases resulting from immune system decline, mostly by chemotherapy. Mutual Benefits says they no longer write AIDS policies because of uncertainty in underwriting, but upon close examination I think you would find the problem within their underwriting process and the subsequent problems they have incurred as a result. 2. We have a detailed report on matured policies that will support what I have just said. These numbers are based on about 1,500 deaths as I recall. Scott will send you a copy as soon as he returns on Monday Good luck! Brian
