SMA Hub mistakenly referred to the NBA as an insurance carrier in a purchase order given to an investor, but the NBA is not an insurance carrier
The following SMA Hub purchase order speaks for itself.
The image was provided to the Structured Settlement Watchdog by an investor. The HUB Business Trust Number displayed in the image R031519R-2-1-1 in the investor’s deal has a common in root to the Hansen Business’ Trust, a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against SMA Hub and others, including settlement planners Dean Steffey and Kathleen Blevins in Arizona Superior Court September 3, 2021. The number on the SMA Hub purchase order in that case was R031519R-5.
How many other investors received statements from SMA Hub like the one in this image referencing the NBA (or NFL, in the case of a Michael Vick deal) as “insurance carrier”?
If you have received something like this or any communications from SMA Hub referring to cash flows derived from NBA contracts, NFL contracts or structured settlements as an annuity or an insurance product I’d like to hear from you.
