On Tuesday, a federal grand jury returned a 35-count indictment charging five individuals with conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, 10 counts of mail fraud, 11 counts of wire fraud, six counts of aggravated identity theft, and seven counts of money laundering, related to a scheme to defraud life insurance companies, announced Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico.

...

Multiple insureds, for whom life insurance policies were obtained without their knowledge and consent, resided at and were provided elderly care at Hogar Sustituto Luz Santiago y Fernando Santiago also known as Sueño Felíz, a home for the elderly operated by defendant Santiago-Torres in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico. Sueño Felíz was licensed to operate with the Puerto Rico Department of Family until the license was revoked on or about April 5, 2011.

Actually setting up murder for huge profit. It has happened before. Motive - life insurance pay out. It is why insurance laws require an insurable interest -- that you have some interest in the insured staying alive more than in their death. Wouldn't be surprised if there aren't already a number of deaths or if signatures are forged and/or fraudulently obtained.

Like centuries ago. Allegedly did it with ship passengers and crew in the 17th century.
