When the Bully (aka John Darer) viciously, unfairly, and profanely * attacked David Snyder in a blog post earlier this week, I had two immediate reactions.
First, concerning the Bully, I was reminded of the comments made by attorney Joseph Welch to Senator Joseph McCarthy (the infamous "communist witch hunter") during the 1954 Army-McCarthy Hearings: "...have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
People who have known Dave Snyder during his long and distinguished structured settlement career recognize and appreciate his leadership, courage and continuing contributions. Dave was one of the first, and most outspoken, champions for the rights of injury victims to select their own structured settlement advisors. As founder and CEO of the Delta Group of Settlement Companies, Dave continues to be a thoughtful and courteous visionary whose positive legacy to the industry will long outlive his personal participation.
My second reaction was to contact J.G. Wentworth to request a copy of their periodical "Present Value" to read the article that profiles Dave Snyder. The article, titled "Leaders Among Us", provides a uniformly positive view of structured settlements. It also highlights Delta's policy of not participating in factoring transactions. Anyone who wants to read the article can obtain a copy by contacting John Zepeda at johnz@jgwfunding.com.
In addition to the Dave Snyder profile, the current Wentworth periodical offers several interesting articles and profiles including one titled "Elder Law Attorneys Pack J.G. Wentworth's Webinars on Medicaid Planning Options." Unlike the Bully's blog posts, these articles provide valuable reading for structured settlement professionals interested in understanding J.G. Wentworth's business success.
