With regard to Wal*Mart I'd already made a comment in the previous thread (the one that evoked this one) that Wal*Mart was behaving shamelessly. With regard to ERs taking out life insurance policies on EEs I'd say
it depends. For example, the death of a janitor is not likely to impact a company's bottom line. However, the death of say an expert in securitized trusts and their bond markets could well cost the ER a ton of dough. The notion of "insurable interest" exists to prevent unethical insuruing practices. Defining "insurable interest" is a matter for each state to decide. I cannot give you a clear cut bright line definition but I can say that the two examples I gave would be on opposite ends of a spectrum. EEs falling outside those margins are clearly cut in or out but where the cut off in the middle is would be subject to debate.
