| 6. The thing that really pisses me off it this.. |
|
There were enormous amounts of money made in the propagation of this gigantic FRAUD, and NONE of it will ever make it back to the people who were harmed..
and there are empty houses just sitting there, being vandalized, while people huddle to stay warm under bridges..
People with lots of cash (gotten by ripping us off) will swoop in and start buying up these houses, for pennies on the dollar, while more people move into poverty & despair..
