So, back in February of this year, I started to receive e-mails from people about a certain investigative company called Guidepost Solutions. The long and short of it is claimants were assured back then their Quick Pay Claims were a no-questions asked plan. Claimants, if they had received an EAP from the GCCF could file…

Ken Feinberg defines “risk” and “leadership”…
In some recent promotional items for the University of Pennsylvania – Wharton’s 2011 Leadership Conference, Ken Feinberg lets us all know about the risks of leadership, and he says: “You have to define risk with each situation. When I pay a fisherman, I find a payment that ends their concern, but what is the likely…
Reviewing a claim is not paying a claim…
A quick perusal of the GCCF’s current statistics on the claims process shows two very important things… 1. Quick payments are getting paid, unless a person find themself suddenly under investigation by Guidepost Solutions. 2. Still not getting paid are final payments and really not getting paid are interim payments. Making the news of late…
What do Ken Feinberg and the former IMF head accused of sexual assault have in common?
Answer: They both hired Guidepost Solutions to investigate their victims. When Feinberg decided his “no strings” offer of quick payments for claimants was too, “no strings,” he hired Guidepost Solutions to begin investigating their already paid EAP claims and If the EAP claim was then found to be fraudulent, no quick payment… And when Strauss-Kahn, the now former…
The GCCF Statistics…What Ken’s editorial doesn’t report…
Ken Feinberg has been getting a lot of flack from people in the Gulf Coast regarding his claims process.

Guidepost Solutions…thanks David…
From the Times-Picayune’s David Hammer: “Kenneth Feinberg couldn’t have been clearer: In December, the oil spill claims czar told claimants who had already received emergency payments from him that they could sign away their right to sue, collect one more check within 14 days and be done with the whole process, with “no further review.”…
Being investigated by Guidepost Solutions and the GCCF? The media is listening…
As I wrote a few days ago, a new phenomenon is occurring on the Gulf Coast. Some claimants who have applied for the quick pay from the GCCF, an application the GCCF stated would be automatic for people who had received an EAP and would require no further review, have suddenly found their EAP’s under…
Feinberg’s new quick pay loophole…the investigation
From the GCCF website: “Who is eligible for a Quick Payment? A Claimant who has been paid an Emergency Advance Payment from the GCCF of any kind can receive a Quick Payment. Thus any Claimant who has been paid an Emergency Advance Payment by the GCCF on a Lost Income, Property Damage, Removal and Clean…
It would appear Guidepost Solutions getting busy in the Gulf…
Guidepost Solutions, the investigative arm of Ken Feinberg and the GCCF = British Petroleum, have apparently been stirring up the Gulf’s waters these past couple of weeks.
