Alan S. Lewis Case
Alan S. Lewis faced 29 felony charges of embezzlement, grand theft and burglary for incurring surrender charges in annuity sales to seniors. Lewis said it was best for his clients, but the county prosecutor called it twisting. Although that is usually a matter that the state insurance department handles, the state handed the case to criminal prosecutors. After four months in jail, the prosecutor agreed to ask for a dismissal of all charges.
