In a complaint seeking the seizure of the money Tuesday, the government alleges that the proceeds from Farook’s two policies are derived from a terrorist act.
“Terrorists must not be permitted to provide for their designated beneficiaries through their crimes,” said U.S. Atty. Eileen Decker in a statement. “My office intends to explore every legal option available to us to ensure these funds are made available to the victims of this horrific crime. We will continue to use every tool available to seek justice on behalf of the victims of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks.”

NO! In essence he committed suicide.
I didn't think you could collect insurance $$ on a person that commits suicide. Maybe I'm wrong; that is nothing I have had to deal with, thankfully.
NO!!
certain policies cover AFTER 2 yrs.
no
His life insurance policy should be given out to the victims of the family. In many ways his death was voluntary and pre-meditated.
Any insurance and all their assets from the estate should be seized, and the proceeds given to the survivors and the victims' families.
The money needs to go to the survivors and victims.
I collected on my father who committed suicide. Now let's say he died in a DUI. There were victims in another car, his children had no idea that he was D&Ding. Should it be taken then?
I often find that when the Government proposes breaking set rules that it is only to use it as a precedent later to their benefit. My father died with enormous debt including to the IRS so while we had no claim to any personal belongings the life insurance money was untouchable. I am thankful for that.
Suicide by cop is still suicide. If the insurance policy will pay out anyway, then yes they should get it. However, the victims should immediately sue the estate for damages.
NOOOOOO!
Dave T: No
Unless the policy stipulates it won't pay if death occurs while committing terrorism, the feds need to stay out of it. Or...propose legislation to prevent future payouts. Agree with those who say the victim's families should sue the estate.
Hail NO! Give it to victim's families.
Absolutely not, and money should go to the families of the victims.
