The promotion of a wannabe “consumer guide to selling structured settlements” is tragically flawed and symbolically turning an old time confidence trick every day.
The hashtag #structuredsettlement is a minefield. Each day these fools bomb Twitter with sky scraper images, bearing the symbol of a petty thief, the “mitch*, boodle*, Chicago Bank Roll, also known as the Michigan Bank Roll, which Merriam-Webster dictionary defines as slang for “a roll of paper money consisting of a bill of large denomination on the outside of small denomination or counterfeit bills.
This is the image these knuckleheads chose to represent the idea of “How Selling Your Structured Settlement Works.”

The structured settlement secondary market is an unlicensed and a large part conduct unregulated marketplace where the “boodlers” are slowly but surely being exposed.
In the meantime it may be wise to stay away from people who try to pass a “confidence trick” every day.
