Steve was promoted to regional manager of a large investment bank in 2024, which came with a substantial increase in his salary. That year he purchased a brand new luxury yacht for $800,000. Steve also purchased marine (yacht) insurance, to protect his new prized asset from any potential risks.   Earlier this year, Steve was abruptly laid-off; and still has not been able to find a new job. During this time, he has spent most of his personal savings on: the mortgage on his home, his automobile payments, general living expenses, and monthly payments on the luxury yacht. Steve likely will not have enough money in his bank account to pay next months expenses… and he needs a way to make ends meet.  One evening late at night, Steve goes to the marina where his boat is docked, punchers a hole in the hull of the boat, and the boat begins to fill with water. He leaves the marina, and the next morning it is discovered that his yacht has sunk to the bottom of the bay. He then files a claim with his marine (yacht) insurance company.  Steve’s behavior in this scenario is an example of a violation of which requirement of an insurable risk?
