A: Hey! Did you hear about Prudential Life Insurance? It's a mess!
B: No! What’s going on? Tell me!
A: Apparently, some of their employees did really bad things. Like, they stole money from customers.
B: Wow! Seriously? That's terrible! How much money are we talking about?
A: A lot! Over 19 million dollars! It started way back in 1991!
B: That’s crazy! So many years? Did lots of people get hurt?
A: Yeah, about 500 customers were affected. They were selling things they shouldn't have and even borrowing money!

B: And the leader? What about the boss?
