Coventry and Alan Buerger's Motion to Dismiss Abacus Lawsuit

In a significant legal update, Coventry First LLC, led by co-founder and CEO Alan H. Buerger, has officially requested the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Abacus Global Management, Inc. on August 29, 2025. The filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, argues that the claims by Abacus are unfounded and represent an attempt to suppress constitutionally protected discussions concerning public interest issues.

The motion emphasizes that Abacus's lawsuit is not merely an ordinary legal challenge but an effort to stifle open conversations about serious topics within the life insurance sector. According to the motion filed by Coventry, “The First Amendment embodies a deep national commitment to the principle that discussion of public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open.” However, the lawsuit from Abacus is seen as a counteraction against this principle.

Abacus has been facing scrutiny due to its investment in Lapetus Solutions, Inc., a key provider of life expectancy assessments, which recently announced it would cease all operations effective August 31, 2025. This development has raised serious questions regarding Abacus's practices and the reliability of its life expectancy predictions, further underlining the necessity for transparent and open discussions within the industry. Buerger stated, “The lawsuit from Abacus represents an attempt to silence a lively discussion on critical issues impacting the life insurance industry, including the reliability of life expectancy estimates.”

He further stresses that transparent disclosure of information is essential for the interests of investors, regulators, and the overall life insurance market. The First Amendment preserves the right to express concerns and opinions, especially regarding matters that pertain to public interest.

Coventry has been at the forefront of the secondary market for life insurance for over two decades, continuously advancing the industry and expanding opportunities for policyholders. Their experience and commitment to consumer rights position Coventry as a prominent leader in the market, raising standards and increasing options for consumers. To date, the company has returned over $6 billion to policyholders who no longer need their policies.

This motion is not just about the legal battle; it symbolizes a deeper conflict over the transparency and ethics governing the life insurance industry. The implications of this case could echo throughout the sector, affecting regulatory practices and consumer trust. Coventry's assertive response illustrates its dedication to defending not only its interests but also the principles of free speech and open dialogue.
