  1. Hmm, was it an unsatisfied insurance customer, or perhaps someone hired to off him before he spilled the beans on insider trading? Either scenario is plausible.

    I suspect we will be seeing some copycat murders, regardless of motive. There is a smoldering rage against these insurance companies that may have just been stirred up.
