Possible Additional Distribution For Iron Hall Claimant
A defunct Iron Hall member asks if he can share in a further distribution after selling his claim to a broker who agreed to an extra allowance. Court receiver Robert A Knight of Springfield oversees funds now in Indianapolis, with local branches remitting funds there. Insurance Commissioner Merrill’s office says a notable dividend might be paid later, but notes the inquirer likely gave the broker power of attorney to receive the claim value, reducing his chances of further recovery.
