If you watch the movie The Laundromat, they explain this story. Basically there was a boating accident where a bunch of people died, and the ship captain was on the hook for restitution to the families of the victims. Their insurance stiffed them and long story short, one of the survivors went undercover to expose the insurance fraud and that's where the papers came from. The movie ends with Meryl Streep (who plays the undercover survivor) ranting about how the federal government needs to crack down on the practices of these insurance companies.

Its actually a decent film with some interesting scenes showing how things actually work at a high level - like bearer bonds - even though its a cabal production.
