December 5, 2024 – Globe Life issued a press release in response to Viceroy’s reporting on apparent agency closures across AIL’s network. Globe Life definitively stated:
- All businesses named in the report are still in operation: “Every single business named in the report is still in operation.”
- Inaccuracy of disconnected phone numbers in the report: “We verified that the report listing of disconnected phone numbers is inaccurate and misleading.”
The response contradicts the facts:
- At least 3 of the properties for-lease were opened after the pandemic.
- The evidence that at least Arias-Dlabik and Arias-Diulus have shuttered is irrefutable.
- The websites and social media accounts for Arias-Dlabik, Williams Organization and Arias Diulus are inactive or have been deleted.
An email was sent to all Arias Organisation agents this morning informing them that their company emails will be deactivated after December 31, 2024, is further contradiction of yesterday’s clumsy attempt to obfuscate the cascading agency closures:
Globe Life is clearly covering up some sort of operational collapse in its agent network. Whatever is happening at American Income Life is being cause by another kind of disaster, not the COVID pandemic.
