Insurance Tycoon Accused of Running Controversial “Baby Project”
Greg Lindberg, a North Carolina insurance billionaire, is facing allegations of operating a complex “baby project” that involved manipulating women into donating eggs and signing over parental rights in exchange for substantial financial compensation.
According to reports, Lindberg allegedly orchestrated a scheme where women, many of whom were models with blonde hair and blue or green eyes, were offered millions of dollars to participate in his project. One woman, speaking under the pseudonym Anya, claims to be the biological mother of a child she hasn’t seen in years due to legal contracts that granted Lindberg custody.
The billionaire’s alleged obsession with having a large family reportedly stemmed from losing custody of his first three children. To achieve his goal, Lindberg is said to have utilized a network of surrogates and IVF clinics, personally involving himself in the selection of egg donors.
Legal experts note that Lindberg’s actions, while ethically questionable, may not be entirely illegal due to the lack of oversight in the fertility industry. The contracts signed by the women involved are central to the scheme’s operation.
In response to the allegations, Lindberg has filed a lawsuit against Bloomberg for defamation and slander. However, he has not explicitly denied the claims about his baby project.
The controversy has sparked public and media scrutiny, raising questions about the ethical implications of such practices in the fertility industry.
Despite serving time in prison for bribery and conspiracy, Lindberg reportedly continued his business operations, including both his insurance empire and the alleged baby-making venture. Sources claim there was an increase in births after his release in 2022.
Recently, Lindberg pleaded guilty to a $2 billion fraud and money laundering scheme, which may result in his return to prison. The ongoing legal battles leave uncertainty surrounding the future of the women involved and their access to their biological children.
As this story continues to unfold, it highlights the complex intersection of wealth, technology, and ethics in the realm of assisted reproduction.
