Darer’s Ark Runs Aground
“I never represented that I never, ever took a fee.” - John Darer, Structured Settlements 4-Real, December 14th, 2007.
(Exactly, John. Exactly my point…)
So answers John Darer of Structured Settlements 4 Real and builder of “Darer’s Ark” (aka: the Structured Settlement Clean Vendor List) to my allegation that John intended to deceive when he wrote his first line to the November 29th, 2007 email announcing his grass roots “Noah’s Ark” project.
So now comes his answer, and that answer is that he stopped taking fees “in Spring of 2005.“ With that stunning admission, John Darer has lost his credibility with many who just assumed that from both his writings and recorded interviews, that this was a person who had never taken a referral fee on a factor case, and therefore had the moral integrity to be the self-appointed crusader that would stop the evil factoring companies.
So strong was his language, so persuasive his rhetoric, that one could be forgiven for just assuming that there was no way that John was himself guilty of the very things he was accusing others of doing. It makes no real difference when he started, or stopped, or even whether he still is. The simple admission that he has, is all we needed to know. And now he has admitted to that.
Lying by Omission: Lying by omission is when an important fact is omitted, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. This includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. - Wikipedia 2007
Hypocrite: a person who pretends to be what he or she is not; one who pretends to be better than is really so, or to be pious, virtuous, etc. without really being so. - Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition
John Darer has told us all we need to know about his integrity, credibility, and moral authority. His admission is the only proof needed, in answer to my allegation.
Now, maybe the rest of us can begin to civilly discuss the “factoring” issue.
I look forward to that.
