RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. Chief Executive Officer James Stanard has become the latest top industry executive to become ensnarled in the ever-widening probe into possible finite reinsurance abuses.

RenaissanceRe reported net income of $172 million in the second quarter compared to $121 million in 2004. A catastrophe reserve review produced an increase in net income of $108 million, but that was somewhat offset by a negative hit of $29 million from Florida hurricane losses.
