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. He serves in court as an expert witness for his knowledge in the valuation, liquidation, and disposition of complex assets.

Palumbo is a member of the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees (NABT) and is invited regularly to their Spring Seminars and Annual Conventions as an expert speaker and panelist.[23] He has written articles on the topic of recognizing value in items typically dismissed as worthless. Palumbo's articles have been featured in the official publication for the NABT, the American Bankruptcy Trustee Journal (formerly NABTalk).

In September 1998, Palumbo became Executive Producer and owner of the video documentary, "Singing in Color."[27] The film "Singing in Color", directed by Bruce Weinstein, shows how music is a vehicle for the message of peace.

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

The series has since syndicated airings in more than 30 countries, according to New York-based Lacey Entertainment, which markets and distributes the series worldwide. The show has continued to enjoy global success with its 104 episodes, including video series, books, and apparel.
