I just finished reviewing another lovely set of documents on another little settlement. 172k each........210k each back in 7 weeks. Let me know if you are in. I am doing this one. The interest rate is quite lovely. 22% interest in 7 weeks......try and calculate out what that is for the year. And this one may have a 5 week rollover which would allow us to collect the inierest in week seven.....and then another 25k a piece in week 12. my calculator broke trying to figure out the ínterest.
Let me know if you are in. I am meeting with the guy mid day tomorrow to fund.
Have I told you how rnuch I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this business.....and how much I love the color green.......i feel like I just took six Viagra :-) :-) :-)

Hey bro.....sitting in the depo bored out of my mind and lo and behold what hits my screen......but another settlement funding deal that may be the best one yet.......
440k for one year.........so its 220k each........20kper month interest to be paid monthly.....so we each get a check for 10k each month for the entire 12 months then return of principal at the end of lhe 12 months.....calculate the
interest......120K interest to each of us on 220K for 12 months.......its astronomical.
I am definitely doing it......the interest almost pays 2/3 of my mortgage with you....yippie kai yay....let me know if you are in and I will send you the new wire info.
Love ya,
Bored and starving,

Confidential-Urgent-Man Law
Thigpen:
600k each to start. Intenest ís 30% per year. MAN LAW :-) Interest will be paid every 3 months ie. 45k in three months another 45k in three months etc etc. Term of loan shall not extend beyond 24 months unless bre agree to extend at which tíme 3 points will be due to
each of us for such renewal. If judgment is collected early, interest is still due in full for the current year. Ie. Even if we collect tomorrow we each still earn 180k on our 600k,
you need to let me know how you want interest checks made out. ie....do I split each interest check between you and the company. At that rate you are each eanning 15. Not bad for not
working : -)
please wire the 600k first thing this morníng to the following account....he is making a down payment on home for him and his kids this afternoon, paying off medical bills and other
bills that have destroyed his credit so he can qualify for the home....paying his parents back.....and sending his parents on a trip....the rest of the funds will sit and season so he can qualify for his mortgage etc. The bank of counse wants seasoned funds to c1ose. We will
likely have the opportunity to fund the balance of the funds to him oven the next twelve months which should earn us each in excess of 750k in interest.,...not soooo bad. Sorry it is
not more :-)

Your bro,
