Indiana empire of insurance tied to Great Northern merger
The 1965 merger of Great Northern Life with Midwestern Unified, a Ft Wayne insurer, draws attention as securities fraud cases rise. Michael Dobich was killed in a private helicopter explosion after selling over 1 million in worthless Midwestern United stock. A grand jury named Redmond but did not indict him. Redmond's secretary Jerry Dennis was later indicted for fraud linked to the same stock sale. Redmond’s holdings include Apollo Corporation, Empire Apartments, Master Distributors, Empire Finance, Bankers Acceptance, Mid-West Aircraft Sales, and Toreco Agency. House and Senate hearings reported nearly 494 million dollars in stolen federal and private stocks in six months of 1971, with 8.8 million shares stolen, prompting broader probes into the stolen securities market. The inquiry, led by Chairman McClellan, will resume September 1.
