Buffalo structured settlement originator CrowFly, LLC, of which Milestone Consulting CEO John Bair is a Director and Co-Founder and Legal Examiner blogger, misled consumers and prospective customers in its Ebook on how to sell structured settlement payments.
There is only one trade association in the structured settlement industry, and John Bair, the CEO of Milestone Consulting and Co-Founder of CrowFly, LLC, has never served as a board member.
The CrowFly E-Book's Meet the Founders page includes a short bio of John Bair which states " John (Bair) is a veteran of the structured settlement industry and a former board member of the National Trade Association. (emphasis added)
CrowFly, LLC has falsely misrepresented John Bair's role in the structured settlement industry:
- Since 1985, the National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA) has been the leading voice of the structured settlement industry with nearly 1,200 individual NSSTA members today.
- To my knowledge as someone who has been a member of NSSTA since the early 1990s and the knowledge of two other long time members, I contacted to verify, John Bair has NEVER been elected to or served on the Board of the National Structured Settlements Trade Association.
- The capitalization of the letters N, T, and A is significant. Why would CrowFly, LLC misrepresent its own Director to structured settlement annuitants in an eBook about selling structured settlement payments, distributed as a marketing tool to potential customers? That is a question worth exploring.
- While the Society of Settlement Planners is not the National Trade Association for the structured settlement industry, I confirmed that John Bair has not been a board member of that either. #nowiggleroom
