The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““[T]he only variable that can impact the profitability of the viatical settlements at issue is the timing of the death of the insured. To the extent that [plaintiffs] investment outlay paid for the fees and commissions of appellants and the viatical company, and for the premiums to maintain the insurance policies, [plaintiff] was merely paying for administrative services and, by purchasing interests on [plaintiffs] behalf and paying premiums, [defendants] and/or Liberte Capital Group were merely fulfilling their reciprocal obligations under their agreement with [plaintiff].””

2. “A viatical settlement is an investment contract by which an investor acquires an interest, at a discount, in the life insurance policy of a terminally ill person. When the insured dies, the investor receives the insurance death benefit. The investor's profit is the difference between the discounted purchase price paid to the insured and the death benefit collected from the insurer, minus transaction costs, premiums paid, and other administrative expenses.”
