North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey has sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him not to grant a pardon to Greg Lindberg, who was convicted in an attempt to bribe Commissioner Causey.
“Mr. Lindberg’s criminal conduct was not incidental, technical, or victimless,” Commissioner Causey wrote in his letter. “It was deliberate, sustained, and directly aimed at corrupting a state regulatory system charged with protecting the public in order to enrich himself. During an 18 months-long investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mr. Lindberg was lawfully recorded on a wire attempting to bribe me, in my official capacity as North Carolina Commissioner of Insurance, to remove a senior department official who had identified and exposed serious financial improprieties within Mr. Lindberg’s insurance enterprises.”
Commissioner Causey continued:
“The evidence presented was not speculative. It was contemporaneously recorded, exhaustively investigated, and ultimately proven in federal court. Mr. Lindberg’s actions were a calculated attempt to undermine regulatory oversight, evade accountability, and silence those whose duty it was to safeguard policyholders, retirees, and working families.”
