I feel like I’ve seen “double indemnity” in a different context, maybe in insurance? It doesn’t seem right for this question though.

I remember discussing something similar in class. Isn’t it called a conflict of interest when someone benefits personally from their decisions?

I'm not totally sure what "double indemnity" or "double whammy" mean in this context. I'll have to eliminate those and focus on the more relevant options.
