Viatical settlements are different Jim. Example. The organization gives you 65, 000 today for your $100,000 policy and they collect the $100,000 when you die. There is no Life Insurance Company involved in the transaction.

Obviously, it's a winner for them in the long run. What's the typical vig they're making?
