ATLANTA — A jury has convicted Georgia’s suspended insurance commissioner of all 37 counts of fraud and money laundering against him at his trial.

Jurors returned the guilty verdicts Thursday afternoon against Jim Beck.

Beck was convicted of charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering and tax fraud. He had been indicted months after taking office in 2019.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Beck orchestrated a scheme to embezzle more than $2 million from the Georgia Underwriting Association.

Beck had managed the state-chartered private insurer of last resort for years before he took office.

1. Typical Republican.

No ethics. No morals. No respect for public service.

Sad.

2. And we are supposed...

...to trust the party of Radical Fascists with our elections?

What could go wrong?

3. It will be interesting to see what happens at sentencing.

This guy deserves at least 20 years, but he will probably get only 10 years instead because of his connections.

4. I remember his "good ol' boy" campaign.

Of course he's a piece of shit. I wish a few of his friends in office could be taken down with him.
