Palumbo is the principal of Bankruptcy Asset Management, a company which targets the acquisition of undervalued and unusual assets. In 2002, the company acquired the royalty rights for deceased Roots author, Alex Haley,[21] and currently includes songs by Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, and Tammy Wynette.[22] Serving attorneys, CPAs, and bank trust officers, Palumbo consults on matters of bankruptcy, probate, and trust estates with banks.

The film is sold at the choir's performances and proceeds support the operation of the choir.
