§ 26-6-104 — Disallowance of "wash" transactions

Wyoming § 26-6-104

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 26: Insurance Code
• Ch. 6: ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Text

(a) The commissioner, after a hearing thereon, shall
disallow as an asset or as a credit against liabilities any
reinsurance he finds to have been arranged principally for the
purpose of deception as to the ceding insurer's financial
condition on the date of an insurer's financial statement.
Without limiting the general purport of this provision,
reinsurance of any substantial part of the insurer's outstanding
risks contracted for in fact within four (4) months prior to the
date of a financial statement and cancelled after the date of
that statement, or reinsurance under which the reinsurer bears
no substantial insurance risk or chance of net loss to itself,
is prima facie evidence of an arrangement principally for the
purpose of deception.
(b) The commissioner, after a hearing thereon, shall
disallow as an insurer's asset any deposit, funds or other
assets he finds:
(i) Not to be in good faith the insurer's property;
(ii) Not freely subject to the insurer's withdrawal
or liquidation at any time for the payment or discharge of
claims or other obligations arising under its policies; and
(iii) To be resulting from arrangements made
principally for the purpose of deception as to the insurer's
financial condition on the date of any financial statement of
the insurer.
(c) The commissioner may suspend or revoke the certificate
of authority of any insurer which has knowingly been a party to
any actual or attempted deception.
