Scott Rothstein “Structured Settlements” ALM  Media Should Live Up To Its Mission

by Structured Settlement Watchdog

American Lawyer Media (ALM) Claimed Mission Statement Scott Pacenti structured settlements

"We aim to deliver the highest standards of integrity, fair-dealing and quality in the services we provide"

Fake News

So why, in announcing the Snyder complaint against Scott Rothstein, does reporter John Pacenti speak of investors who lost money investing in structured settlements? On the day Pacenti wrote this piece there was material galore out there which detailed how what Scott Rothstein was peddling were not structured settlements and exhibited characteristics of pre-settlement funding. The two are not even close!

 

The PR director for NSSTA assures me that he has spoken to Pacenti and that "he NOW gets it". Unfortunately that is not good enough when the deed has been done. One can certainly question the allegiance of Pacenti's editor at American Lawyer Media to the ALM mission statement.

How is putting a news story out there that contains information of questionable veracity consistent with "delivering the highest standards of integrity, fair-dealing and quality"?

My mission as Structured Settlement Watchdog is to assure that consumers have the clearest path to accurate information about structured settlements.
