A 38-year-old Kansas man has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for mail fraud connected to an insurance commissions scam in Iowa.
Brian Henton, of Olathe, Kansas, was sentenced last week in U.S. District Court in Des Moines. He must pay more than $23,000 to the Equitable and Cigna insurance companies.
Henton had pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud. Kevin VanderSchel of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Des Moines, said that Henton was licensed to sell policies in Iowa but not in Kansas.
Henton admitted using false Iowa addresses, phone numbers and forged signatures on about 120 supplemental Medicare insurance applications from Kansans.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Henton then received commissions to which he wasn’t entitled.
