Secret study found Florida insurers sent billions to affiliates while crying poor (www.miamiherald.com)

But those financial hardships don’t tell the full story, according to the 2022 study that has never been made public and was released to the Herald/Times after a two-year wait for public records.

The report, the most in-depth dive into the byzantine finances of Florida’s homeowners insurance market, reveals that as the insurance market was ailing and companies were losing money, executives distributed $680 million in dividends to shareholders while diverting billions more to affiliate companies.

Executives with most Florida-based insurers were removing so much money from their companies that they violated state regulations, the study’s author concluded.

The result left some insurers financially weaker — and potentially unable to pay claims — heading into the depths of the state’s insurance crisis.
