Sovereign Funding Group’s “Gator” is a “Crock”

by Structured Settlement Watchdog

This is the third in a three part series in which I share the findings of my research into the academic credentials of named associates of Sovereign Funding Group, real or imaginary

Smiling Gator laughing

Karen Jones is one of 8 in the Google Plus circle of James Goldstein, variously described in various forms on the Internet as the CEO, owner and  Senior Vice President and senior management of Sovereign Funding Group. James Goldstein’s academic credentials do not check out and neither do Karen Jones’ credentials.

University of Florida : No record of Karen Jones!

On May 30, 2013, in response to my request, I received infomration from the University of Florida which confirmed that it has no record of anyone named Karen Jones who attended or received a degree from the University of Florida.

  • for readers who may not be warem the Univerisity of Florida sport teams’ nickname is the Florida Gators or “The Gators”
  • In January 2013,  “Karen Jones” squealed with delight on Google Plus about her new job at Sovereign Funding in Rockville,MD. 
  • As I have previously covered in a previous blog post, Rockville, MD of course is the mail box, in a UPS store, that was purchased by David Springer on or about June 13, 2012.

 You may draw your own conclusions and do your own research, but I certainly would not recommend anyone do business with Sovereign Funding Group under the circumstances.
