Once-prominent Alabama insurance exec gets 12 years
(AP) -- A former Montgomery insurance executive has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for mail fraud and embezzlement in his insurance business.
U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson imposed the sentence Tuesday on John Goff and ordered him to pay $5 million in restitution to XL America insurance company.
Goff was once a major supplier of worker compensation insurance in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia.
A federal court jury convicted him in February of mail fraud, embezzlement and filing a false report with the state insurance department.
