Outcome

The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's summary judgment in favor of National Union Fire Insurance Company, holding that Cooper Industries could not recover under its commercial-crime insurance policy because the loss occurred after Cooper loaned funds to the fraudsters, at which point Cooper no longer owned the earnings or principal as required by the policy.
