It is important to remember that student loan borrowers are different from most Americans: Theyve gone to college. College students, as a group, earn more, are better educated, live longer, and come from more affluent backgrounds than other Americans. Those advantages are apparent among student loan borrowers.

After nearly two years of waiting, investors in a group of defunct mortgage pools formerly managed by Vancouver-based firm American Equities could start to see some money find its way back to them although probably not as much as they were hoping.

Portland-based financial consulting firm Hamstreet and Associates was placed in charge of the American Equities receivership. An initial rough estimate found that the pools collectively held…

Former Sargon Capital founder and CEO Phillip Kingston has broken his silence on a cascade of extraordinary events that put into receivership the high-profile superannuation fintech a year ago following actions by one of its creditors a Chinese state-owned insurance company China Taiping (~A$100 million).
