I couldn't get past his investing his nest egg of $250,000 into a fund that "supposedly guaranteed" him $4000 a month to live off of.  That implies a rate of return of approximately 19% year in and year out. 

If it seems too good to be true...

Payments probably included a drawdown of principle with $0 balance left after X years of payments.

Perhaps. But the article implies that he unexpectedly lost it all in the 2008 market.  That doesn't sound like a "normal" annuity. 

You are not going to make a guaranteed $48000 a year on $250000 unless the guarantee period is very short indeed. Like 6 years...
