My returns were solid. The judge had no contract with me or any right to freeze my investment, much less confiscate it. The court never contacted me or informed me about the fund that they froze and ultimately plundered. There was enough to pay his friend $990,000/month to "manage" the fund while they investigated. A friend with no CPA. Where is my stolen principle? There was enough interest from the investments for them to steal on a monthly basis to "manage" MY interest right into their bank accounts. Dean didn't grease the corrupt Philly machine, that was his mistake. Read the papers. There was no charge of funds being manipulated, mismanaged or stolen. Problems started when fauci et al ruined the economy. Look at the lawless government, unelected bureaucrats destroying our systems and country and point out the true criminals. The only crime they could muster was not exposing information. Until this PLANNED- emic hit, investors were paid in a timely manner, in FULL as contracted. With plenty of profits to keep everything solvent. So the corrupt court system, their theiving friends and corrupt lawyers destroyed Dean's business and looted the spoils. Show us the homes, bank accounts, cars and financials of these looters instead of pushing class envy of A Better Financial Plan and Par Funding thru the papers. I had great returns and a comfortable retirement because of Dean, and was happy for his success, he EARNED it. Not like those who destroyed him and others. I'll put up his character and reputation against any of the pack wolves living off of soros money, corruption, and lawlessness any day. The true criminals here are walking away with their pockets full, looking for their next business to destroy. I wish them repayment ten fold.

He lied about insurance on my investment. He's a thief. From my understanding there was no Spartan II fund to repay the money lost to merchant cash accounts

Dean sells products he knows he will benefit from but the recipients won’t. As a Retirement face expert in Summit Hwy New Stephen very well, I’ve warned all my clients before dealing with him. Of course very few got involved with Dean and lost every penny they ever had that they invested with him!
Stay away from Dean and his associates!

I believe Dean is telling the truth. As a friend for many years, Dean has been a standup guy and straight shooter. I am confident that everything will turn out fine.

Simple and to the point, he's a crook. Run away if you see him. He can legally change his name to Dan Vagponzi when the SEC is finished with him.

Don't know him but listened to his presentation. Anything he is selling you can buy a safer product of the same thing from a good registered investment advisors. The only difference is the investments- Business Development Corporations (Small Business Loans for private businesses), or Non traded REIT, or Life Settlements have been vetted by the Securities industry and are registered meaning they have more regulation and hoops to jump through than a private placement he is selling. Bottom line- probably more risk of default on these high yield investments that are not vetted by regulatory agencies.

Dean is a genius in sourcing investments that offer competitive returns and are not tied to the markets or annuities. His non convectional approach to financial planning where he is not stuck on the same 10 things every advisor is busy pushing is really a breath of fresh air. Dean is a mater presenter and walked us through different options that made sense for us.
Dean was not pushy and told me to go slow which again was very appreciated and made me feel easy around him. Its clear that he is very successful and your business will not make it or break it for him I guess that a good thing.

I am so happy I got to meet Dean, not only has he delivered above and beyond as promised he is also a genius in alternative investing and finding investments that you fill comfortable with. He is never pushy and has all the time in the world to explain and do proper due diligence before making a move.

@luleeptwo I've personally worked with Dean for about a year now. I'm a single parent and during the hardest time of my life, Dean came through with alternative investment solutions that made me feel comfortable and financially secure.
To answer your question about annuities, I am invested in his Merchant Capital Advance program, as well as his Life Settlement investment. Both are not annuities.
I met with him a few times before I invested and Dean took the time to explain each investment thoroughly and in layman's terms. The meetings were extremely low pressure. Dean gave me the space I needed and when I was ready, I invested. His staff was easy to reach and very accommodating as well.

@luleeptwo They are not annuities. ABFP forms LLCs that permit a group of investors to invest as an LLC in investments that require a substantial minimum amount, usually available to an individual investor of substantial means, such a Buffet, or politicians who acquire such wealth through creative acquisition of funds after years of connections afforded them through their cushy DC part time jobs & access to likely low risk investments through knowledge acquired by their position and exposure to said investments through DC contacts & networking.

@luleeptwo Why not call ABFP and find out. You expect a passer-by reader to know? Look up the website yourself or call Mr. Vagnozzi.

Something is not right with Dean and A better Financial plan. I met with him twice about the life settlements. I decided not to invest because there are no audited financials and issues w/ the company he uses for IRAs. I send a email saying I was not interested and thought that would be the end of it. But instead I received a number of harassing emails/ phone calls from him calling me stupid and insulting me for not investing with him. He may well be another Bernie Madoff.

This guy showed zero respect for my time.
ZERO. He canceled 3 meetings 30 minutes prior to the meeting.
When he finally showed up for our 1st meeting, it appeared as though he was living out of his car. We were supposed to meet for a 3rd time and he was a no show again. Then he sent his email, full of erroneously assumptions about the investments we discussed. I called him to clarify things and he hung up on me like a 3rd grader. When i called him back, I gave him a piece of my mind. Then he wrote the review he did. Use the link below for a better sense of what my clients think of us. Or go to my website, www.abetterfinancialplan.com

Likely Dean & ABFP have been audited inside and out by the SEC due to the latest incident. If there was any irregularity it would be a matter of public record, and the company would have been closed at the least.
Established financial institutions have been doing this type of investment for years. ABFP didn't invent it! Those with defunct whole life policies get money for their policy. They are not strong armed into any actions. Children or beneficiaries are also required to sign off on the process.
Ironic that the record award recently paid to ABFP investors has been reported by our illustrious "objective " media as a mercenary celebration.
The media puts no negative story on this same investment return when it comes from the larger investment houses. Why?
Dean gives small investors the opportunity to participate in investments formerly available to only Buffet & Soros level investors.
The difference is when that level of investment goes bad, the American taxpayer covers the losses and it's brushed over by government agencies and our "impartial" media.
And by the way, if this was not legitimate per SEC law, ABFP would not be able to form these LLCs and offer these investments opportunities.
Yes, a 10% return seems too good to be true in a country where only politicians get double digit returns. Or you have to be a VP's son to make $50,000 a week or TRIPLE digit returns to hold a position where you possess not a byte of business acumen.
We have been conditioned to put money in places that lose value daily because returns are less than the rate of inflation. We accept political influence and theft. We live believing we are not worthy of more than a 5% return on our retirement and conditioned to be suspicious of any out-of-the-box strategy that works ---- even when it's outlined and approved in writing by the SEC!
The media does a hit piece on small investors who dare find a successful, SEC approved strategy reserved for the rich & well connected elite. Read between the lines to understand who feels threatened and why.
