Bermuda Insurance Institute

In what could easily be construed as a shameless snub to foreign insurance buyers, particularly so close to the start of an embarrassing civil fraud trial, the Bermuda Insurance Institute and local insurer BF&M Ltd. have dedicated a room at the BII offices in Hamilton to the late Charles Collis, the attorney who helped to orchestrate the stripping of $50 million of assets from Bermuda Fire & Marine Insurance two years before it went bust owing creditors over $1.4 billion.
