→ A new Journal with dated bylined practice notes: Nevada NRS 18.130 per-defendant practice, the Texas §52.006 supersedeas cap after the 2024 Dallas Court of Appeals decision, FAA aircraft lien release procedural deadlines under 49 U.S.C. §44107, and Puerto Rico's fianza de no residentes under the Priolo rule.

Nine years. 135 unauthorized withdrawals. One pooled trust account that dozens of employers trusted with their workers' health premiums and 401(k) contributions.

On September 29, the founder and CEO of Axim Fringe Solutions Group pleaded guilty in federal court in Maryland to theft from an ERISA plan. He was the named trustee of the master trust that held his clients' money, and between 2015 and 2024 he drew on it to pay for big game hunting trips, taxidermy, jewelry, casino gambling, and a girlfriend. When he moved the firm to Arizona he added a second method: billing clients up to five times the fees they actually owed. The total conversion exceeded $8.8mn. The Department of Labor had already obtained a civil judgment in 2024 requiring more than $4.4mn restored to the plans and barring him from fiduciary service for life.

This is the loss the ERISA fidelity bond was written for. Section 412 requires every person who handles plan funds, including a third party administrator, to be bonded against exactly this kind of dishonesty. But the bond protects the plan, not the employer that chose the administrator. Every Axim client is a plan sponsor with a duty to prudently select and monitor its service providers, and the participants whose coverage lapsed and whose deferrals never reached their accounts have a claim against the sponsor that requires no proof of dishonesty at all. That claim belongs to a fiduciary liability policy, which the bond expressly does not replace.

My analysis covers the bonding requirement and who it reaches, three places a blanket TPA bond would strain on these facts, the sponsor's separate exposure, and what a plan committee should do this quarter:

Congress is taking another run at the cannabis insurance problem. The CLAIM Act, reintroduced in the House last week with a Senate companion already filed, would give insurers and sureties a federal safe harbor for serving state licensed cannabis businesses. It would not force anyone to write the class, and it would not change a single underlying risk.

Our new essay looks at what the bill would actually do, why cannabis coverage still lives almost entirely on surplus lines paper, and the surety angle that the coverage debate keeps overlooking: the states themselves require federally regulated sureties to guarantee the tax obligations of businesses that remain federally unlawful.

Cannabis, ma*****na and h**p license bonds in every state that requires them: CannabisSuretyBonds.com

The 2026 CLAIM Act would shield insurers serving legal cannabis businesses. What the federal safe harbor changes, and what it does not.

Cannabis and ma*****na surety bonds, state by state, in one place.

Surety One, Inc. has launched CannabisSuretyBonds.com, a bilingual resource for licensed cannabis, ma*****na and h**p operators who have to post a surety bond to get or keep a license.

What is on the site:

✅A page for every state that requires a cannabis or ma*****na license bond, with the bond amount, the obligee, the statute or rule behind it and links to the primary sources
✅Bond requirements by license type: dispensary, grower, processor, testing laboratory and vertically integrated licenses
✅Hemp bonds in Georgia, Ohio, Colorado and the California counties
✅Fidelity bonds for a cash-intensive industry
✅A free operator's guide in English and Spanish, with no sign up
✅An online application that goes straight to an underwriter

From California's $5,000 license bond to Florida's $5,000,000 treatment center bond, the rule is the same: a bond is a credit instrument, not insurance for the operator, and the wording of the form matters as much as the amount.

The program was founded by C. Constantin Poindexter, MA, JD, CPCU, AFSB, ASLI, ARe, AINS, AIS, CPLP, CICS, a Cannabis Insurance Coverage Specialist, attorney and surety underwriter for more than thirty years. No applicant is automatically declined.

Seven USI Insurance Services employees have sued their employer in the Southern District of New York, alleging that USI sponsored their benefit plan while also brokering its voluntary products and setting its own commissions. The complaint pleads self-dealing under ERISA section 406(b) and a breach of the duty of loyalty under section 404(a). None of it has been tested.

The commentary so far has focused on the substantive ERISA questions. This essay asks a different one: when a complaint like this arrives, which policy responds? Many sponsors assume the section 412 fidelity bond offers some protection. It does not. Fiduciary liability insurance is the instrument that answers, but the relief these plaintiffs seek, the return of $3.46 million in commissions, is precisely the item the fiduciary form is least likely to pay. Add USI's dual role as broker and the E&O carrier is drawn into an allocation fight nobody planned for.

The full analysis, including the disgorgement problem, the conduct exclusions, and why the bond is the wrong instrument

The USI voluntary benefits class action tests fiduciary liability insurance, the ERISA bond, and broker E&O. Which policy actually responds?
