Ein warnendes Beispiel für Leute, die Vergleichsansprüche zur sofortigen Auszahlung an Unternehmen verkaufen: Opfer eines 7-Milliarden-Dollar-Betrugs könnten bald bezahlt werden. Für einige ist es zu spät.

tldr; Victims of Robert Allen Stanford’s $7 billion fraud are close to receiving compensation, but many, like Thomas Swingle, sold their claims for immediate cash. Swingle and his wife sold their claim for $60,000 in 2021, missing out on a potential $350,000 payout. This highlights the difficult decisions victims face, often opting for quick settlements due to uncertainty about future recoveries. The scheme, which involved fraudulent certificates of deposit, has left lasting impacts on victims’ lives.

I’m not into the crypto scene but given all the ads I see for companies buying people’s claim it might not be a good idea. This is a classic example, it’s a gamble not take the upfront money but you figure these companies wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t money to be made.
