Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt announced a Geary County woman has been sentenced to 24 months of probation for insurance fraud.
Kei’Anna Boykin, aged 31, pleaded guilty on January 15, 2026, in Geary County District Court to one felony count of insurance fraud.
Boykin was driving on a canceled insurance policy when she was involved in a car accident. She then reinstated her policy but falsely claimed that she had not h
ad a loss while the policy was canceled. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced on March 19 to 24 months of probation with 12 months of underlying prison time if her probation is violated.
The Kansas Department of Insurance investigated this case which was prosecuted by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office.
The verdict from a jury in San Francisco federal court came in a closely watched civil trial wh
ere Musk, the world’s richest person, was accused of falsely claiming on social media that Twitter underreported how many fake and spam accounts, known as bots, were on its platform.
Damages have yet to be calculated but Francis Bottini, a lawyer for the shareholders, estimated they could total about $2.5 billion.
“Musk’s status as the wor
ld’s richest man is not a free pass,” Bottini said in a statement. “If you’re able to move markets with your tweets you’re responsible for the harm you cause to investors.”
In a joint statement, Musk’s lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan called the verdict “a bump in the road. And we look forward to vindication on appeal.”
The civil trial began on March 2, and jurors began deliberating on Tuesday.

Musk has often chosen to battle shareholders in court rather than settle.
This included a 2023 trial in San Francisco over whether he defrauded Tesla shareholders who claimed to suffer losses after he falsely claimed in 2018 to have “f
unding secured” to take the electric car company private, and litigation in Delaware over his $139 billion Tesla pay package. Musk won both cases.
Musk ultimately completed his purchase of Twitter in October 2022 and renamed it X.
Musk Liable for Two Statements
Twitter shareholders challenged three statements Musk made not long after agreeing in Apr
il 2022 to buy Twitter, where he questioned whether the company was overrun with bots.
Jurors found Musk liable for two of the statements.
One said the purchase was “temporarily on hold” pending confirmation that bots
represented less than 5% of users. The other said the percentage of bots could be “much” higher than 20%, and the takeover could not go
forward unless Twitter’s chief executive proved the percentage was less than 5%.
Jurors also said the shareholders didn’t prove a separate claim that Musk engaged in a scheme to defraud them.
Michael Lifrak, a lawyer for Musk, countered that the billionaire’s concern about bots was r
eal, and that speaking out about the problem did not show Musk committed or intended to commit fraud.
The lawsuit covers investors who claimed to sell Twitter shares at prices Musk artificially depressed between May 13 and October 4, 2022.
