A Kansas man who used his Iowa insurance producer license to sell policies to Kansas residents and then passed them off to the insurers as Iowa residents to fraudulently collect commissions has been sentenced to a year in federal prison. Brian Curtis Henton, 38, of Olathe, Kan., was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court to 12 months and one day in federal prison based on his earlier guilty pleas to two counts of mail fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt. The judge also ordered Henton to pay $23,300.15 in restitution to Equitable and Cigna insurance companies, and to serve three years of supervised release following his release from federal prison. According to the plea agreement, from about April 2013 until October 2013, Henton sold approximately 120 Equitable and Cigna Supplemental Medicare insurance policies to Kansas residents, but entered false Iowa addresses, false Iowa telephone numbers, and forged applicants’ signatures on the applications when submitted to the insurance companies.
