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 accide
nt. She then reinstated her policy
but falsely claimed that she had not had a loss while the policy was canceled. She pleaded guilty an
d 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.
Chubb outlined the structure of the new $20 billion maritime reinsurance facility, created to provide marine war risk insurance for ships sailing through the S
trait of Hormuz – which has been effectively closed to shipping since the start of the war with Iran.
The maritime insurance facility was created by the U.S. government via the U.S. International De
velopment Finance Corp. (DFC), which on March 11 announced Chubb as lead underwriter for its $20 billion reinsurance plan.
Originally, the DFC program was focused on hull & machinery and cargo – but Chubb announced on Friday, March 20 that it has been expanded to include liability.

Moody’s said recently that exclusion of liability would be a deal-killer for most shipowners mov
ing crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz, due to the massive risk of pollution liability and cleanup if a vessel was hit by a mine or drone.
A Moody’s representative said additional details about this incarnation of the DFC program are
not yet available and therefore the ratings agency wouldn’t comment. Spokespeople from the Lloyd
’s of London and the International Underwriting Association (IUA), which represents the Londo
n company market, would not comment on the US reinsurance program.
It is unclear how effective the facility will prove to be, as ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
remains disrupted, with only a few Iran-affiliated vessels being able
to transit the waterway, according to news reports. Military experts have warned that commercial s
hipping is unlikely to restart without a cease fire.
