A new allegation has surfaced that a Prudential Life Insurance sales employee in their 40s defrauded customers of money. The incident is believed to have occurred while the company was suspending new sales activity following the February revelation of improper investment solicitations, prompting a wave of “here we go again” reactions on 5ch. It was also reported that the employee in question has already died, sparking a flurry of unverified speculation on the thread.
On the 24th, Prudential Life Insurance announced that a new suspected case of money fraud by a sales employee in their 40s had come to light. The incident may have occurred sometime after February, when the company suspended new sales following the discovery of improper investment solicitation and money fraud.

this is probably just something the earlier investigation missed.
Wouldn't be surprised if more of this keeps surfacing.
After the previous incident came to light
Nah, this already tops Big Motor lol
So a top-tier foreign firm can just get away with anything? lol
This is insane
and then they'll just go and do the same thing again, forever
Feels like it's one of two options: buy up some mid-size old-line life insurer and do a reverse merger to just swap out the shell,
or sell the whole thing off to someone like Ping An in China
That's why only old people sign up
Just assume anyone pushing investments and trying to get you to buy financial products is scum, and you'll be fine
The employee who pitched it is dead

> According to Prudential, the employee was assigned to a branch in Tama City, Tokyo. The employee has already died, and the company is continuing its investigation.
Did someone "silence" them?
A job that gets you killed is worse than a yami-baito (a shady, often crime-linked gig-work scam job)! 😡
but if you were on the receiving end of that stuff you'd want to snap.
Things like "never give them an opening to refuse," "never give them time to think,"
or "if you catch them in a slip of the tongue, hammer that one point relentlessly."
That sounds more suited to a poop-flinging contest scrawled on a bathroom wall
But the guys who fall for those studio-apartment investment scams are exactly the timid men that kind of pressure works on 😎
Sounds just like a scammer's manual
Because if you're in an athletic club and a senior recommends something, it's hard to say no.
With life insurance sales too, the standard playbook is to get you to sign up your own family and friends first
You lose out to jocks and still call yourself highly educated? Smart?
The real problem is that nobody ever kept the "only good at studying" idiots out of school in the first place
are out there, quietly raking it in, way more than you'd think lol
Mediating and settling disputes is their real specialty. Wherever there's a shady business, there's a shadow of organized crime
Of course nobody knows
This is a country where as long as you claim to be "working," anything goes
Even more so when they're foreign-owned
They make their living off people's anxiety after all
Absolutely rotten
