Huber To Get Some Entitlement
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's Supreme Court says an
insurance agent who was convicted of running a federal farm payment
scam is entitled to some retirement money.
Duane Huber of Wimbledon contended North Dakota Farmers Union
insurance companies owed him a $34,000 annuity for his insurance
sales during 2002.
Farmers Union argued it didn't owe the money because Huber's
insurance license was suspended in December 2002. Huber was
convicted the month before of federal charges of fraud, money
laundering, tax evasion and making false statements. He was accused
of running sham farms to avoid federal farm program payment limits.
The court ruled Huber is owed the money because Farmers Union
wasn't able to fire him until January 2003, and his job agreement
from the year before was still in effect.
