Idaho Father and Son Sentenced on Mail Fraud

POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — A father and son who operated a Rexburg insurance brokerage have been ordered to spend time in prison and pay $1.6 million in restitution for their role in a federal mail fraud case.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill sentenced 67-year-old Adrian Rand Robison of Rigby to four months in prison, while 38-year-old Adrian Russell Robison of Idaho Falls, got the same prison term.

The father founded The Legacy Network, which brokered the sale of life insurance policies between the companies that provided the policies and independent agents selling directly to clients. Federal prosecutors accused the men of misleading clients in the sale of life insurance polies. This summer, the father pleaded guilty to mail fraud, while his son pleaded guilty to making a false tax return.
