There is no reason it's the insurance company's job to make up for that. It's not fuckover insurance, it's life insurance. If you want fuckover insurance, you'd need to pay more. A hell of a lot more. Try to get an insurance policy that legitimately covers the policyholder for the family breadwinner abandoning his family. You can definitely get a specialist insurance shop to write you such a policy, and they're probably going to charge you close to 100% of the payout value up front, because anybody looking for such protection is pretty much guaranteed to go missing right away.
If you told people in Japan "if your husband goes missing and stays missing long enough, you're entitled to the life insurance payout and can keep it when he comes home", I think we'd end up with half the salarymen taking an extended vacation. Seriously. Imagine if the insurance company does NOT sue to recover the payout. What message does that send? How many of their policyholders will suddenly go missing? The answer is: a hell of a lot.
I wouldn't want my life insurance premiums pooled with people entitled to fuckover pay.. it would raise my premiums immensely.
I don't give his friends that same pass. This has become such a shitstorm, because a group of people started posting info about his disappearance all over the Internet. I don't know if they consulted with Dart's wife about doing this, or what, but it was this effort to "help" that created this extra level of humiliation and scandal.

It was admirable...and I hope they help his missus and kids, too.
Kegsy wrote:So your take is that every time an adult male goes missing, then nobody should bother to look for them? Just the immediate family, in case they've done a runner. Afterall, foul play never happens to grown adult males does it.
If you went missing for a couple of days, are we to assume that no-one would be bothered by your absence?
And just remember that his friends didn't actually do anything, except worry about it.

canman wrote:Maybe the "shitstorm" Supercub is talking about, is with all the additional publicity, including the western media, when it was learned that the guy did a "runner" it made him look like an even bigger loser! If the facts were only known by a small handful of family and friends, that is one thing. But now, countless people know his name and how we abandoned his young family for parts unknown.
