Greg Lindberg is a former North Carolina insurance executive and political donor who was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison in May 2026 for a multibillion-dollar fraud conspiracy.
He was convicted for masterminding a scheme from 2016 to 2019 to deceive regulators, hide the financial instability of his insurance companies, and siphon over $2 billion in policyholder reserves to fund a lavish lifestyle, including private jets, mansions, and a yacht. Additionally, Lindberg was convicted of bribery and wire fraud for attempting to pay millions in campaign contributions to the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner to secure the removal of a senior regulator overseeing his firms.
Lindberg also faces significant civil liabilities, including a January 2026 court order to pay over $526 million in damages for defrauding his own insurance companies. While he was previously convicted of bribery in 2020, that ruling was overturned on appeal in 2022 due to jury instruction errors, leading to a retrial and subsequent conviction in 2024.
