Scott Kohn & Future Income Payments— Alleged Private Market Pension Scam

Scott Kohn & Future Income Payments Allegedly Operated a $100 Million Private Market Pension Scam Out of a Nevada Strip-mall Mailbox

Scott Kohn allegedly operated a $100 milllion private market pension scam out of a Nevada strip-mall mailbox, according to media reports under review by investor rights attorney Alan Rosca.

Kohn’s company, Future Income Payments, allegedly made sales of investors other people’s pensions, and would reportedly locate workers entitled to pension payments and temporarily buy the rights to said payments by simply making loans of the beneficiaries money against their future pension income in what is called a pension advance, according to the aforementioned reports.

Next, Future Income would make sales of the rights to investors for a lump sum, and an investor might then put up as much as $100,000 in exchange for an income of 7% for five years, the reports note.

Future Income, however, allegedly left investors in a much, and the firm is no longer taking in the pension money that funds its own payments to investors, court documents note.

Private-market products such as the ones offered by Future Income, are often sold by financial advisers, and their sellers often target retirees looking to beat the weak returns on bonds and other savings products. In contrast to publicly traded investments, however, there are few rules on how pension advances can be sold or by whom.
