I wish I would have videotaped some of my mortgage broker ethics classes I taught from years 2001-2006. Instead all I have are the nightmares that keep me awake on sleepless, stormy nights.

Once the offer was accepted by the seller, the homebuyer was surprised to learn that there's a third party involved, a "Short Sale Negotiator" who is charging an additional $9,000 fee on top of the real estate commissions paid to both the agent for the seller and the agent for the buyer. The Short Sale Negotiator is demanding that the homebuyer sign an agreement that the homebuyer will be responsible for paying the $9,000 fee.

Great book to buy. You could buy it used via amazon for under $10. "The Sociopath Next Door." Author says in some Native cultures, once the group identifies the sociopath, they plan a hunting trip, isolate the sociopath and then push him off a cliff. This might not work with the predatory lenders. Someone would notice 100,000 people at the bottom of a cliff.

In the West we make them top dog, and they push everyone else over the cliff.

We?

Didn't anyone ever pull you aside to ask, "TBG, if Suzie jumps off a bridge, does that mean you got to jump off the bridge, too?"

That sometimes depends on the price I've been able to get for it.

Jump? I thought we were talking about being pushed. Or are you getting your story straight before questions get asked?

I'm talking about generalizing, as a habit. Doesn't make sense of people, ordinarily, and especially during times like these.

Thanks for the pointer!

Sociopaths are very destructive of basic, common, trust in/of the social order and need to be firmly sat upon.

Pushing them over a cliff hadn't occurred to me ... but it's worth careful consideration for implementing as fundamental Public Policy.

Is that what happens inside The Temple of Doom?  I was hoping someone could explain this new technical term for the stock markets.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
