Federal prosecutors said Hayes, Lindberg and two Lindberg associates promised or gave Republican Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey millions of campaign dollars to do things Lindberg wanted, such as seek the removal of a deputy insurance commissioner responsible for examining Lindberg's Durham-based insurance business. Prosecutors allege that the scheme ran from April 2017 through August 2018.
Lindberg's company, Global Bankers Insurance Group, is the parent or management company for a number of insurance businesses around the country. Lindberg also is the founder and chairman of the investment company Eli Global LLC. Hayes didn't respond to a message left on his cell phone, and a Lindberg spokesman didn't immediately respond to a phone message. A spokesman for the state GOP also didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
