    Regarding your post on fake tweeting by Intelifund: You have no clue what that company is. They are run out of Scottsdale AZ, but tell clients they are in DC. They owner uses a fake name, “John Day”, when his actual name is Brendan Franks. He makes sure his partner’s name, Gordon Zweig, only appears on docs so he can avoid detection.

    John is an amazing person. I called John, out of the blue, regarding getting some advice on solving a structured settlement problem. Immediately, a he called me, and provided unique and valuable solutions. He donated at least a 1/2 of his time. Further, due to the situation, he stood to have zero chance of to gain from his help. John is just that kind of person – looking to share his knowledge and help people.
    I trust and value John before anyone else in settlements, annuities, and insurance.
