## Resource

A 69-year-old Connecticut man, Kevin Kolenda, faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud for running a scam involving prize insurance—where he dodged payouts for winners of events like golf tournaments and fishing contests. Already convicted in Montana for selling unlicensed insurance in 2013, Kolenda’s latest scheme cost victims hundreds of thousands of dollars. His shady tactics and repeated legal run-ins underscore the high stakes of operating without integrity when handling people’s money and dreams.
