Washington Life suit alleges insiders manipulated funds
A Newark Supreme Court filing by Levi D. Murray and J. Whittier accuses Washington Life Insurance executives Ryan Whitney and Morton of conspiring to drain company funds to trigger a national financial panic. The suit claims policy profits were manipulated, local managers collateralized notes, and remittances shifted to New York to weaken regional credit, harming policyholders and prompting a $20 000 claim.
