for the drug cartels, etc, among other things). The whole thing was a fraud. Still is. I don't trust titles now, and I don't care what anyone says, including the lawyers on DU who are still offended that I just don't "understand", or who are questioning my account (implying, without coming out and saying so, that perhaps I am a liar). They stole untold numbers of homes, I am sure of it. A good friend I've known since high school was similarly victimized. Went from a normal working class life with an average ranch home in a decent neighborhood to living in a buy here trailer home community. Another family I know (again, since high school, average modest ranch home in the community this entire time. Stolen. Starting over at age 50. Basically would have been homeless but for their (much-older) camper. Hitched it to the back of their truck and moved it states away from home to be in a more modest climate. Both have major health issues as is, and are still raising the last of their children at home. Thankfully, the older ones are off to college now and also have love interests, so those kids won't have to be "home" now as they once would. What happened was fraud and criminality of such scope and scale, the individual stories somehow seem to get lost. But there are untold numbers. They can ignore things all they want, they can sweep things under the rug all they want. I know my own truth. I also know the truths of my personal, life-long friends of a certain age now. No matter what the narrative is on tv and in the media. There still has not been justice of any sort. I highly doubt there ever will be, at this point. And things have only gotten worse, not better. Lessons were not learned. We are doomed to repeat it if we don't continue to push for investigations and reforms. Bravo to this couple is all I can say!
