Download Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud AudioBook Free
In the depths of the Great Recession, a cancer nurse, a car dealership staff member, and an insurance scams specialist helped reveal the largest consumer offense in American history - a scandal that implicated a large number of major executives on Wall Street. They called it foreclosure scams: An incredible number of families were kicked out with their homes based on false facts by home loan companies that acquired no legal right to foreclose. Lisa Epstein, Michael Redman, and Lynn Szymoniak did not work in federal or law enforcement. That they had no history of anticorporate activism. Instead they were all foreclosure subjects, and while fighting their pity and isolation they dedicated a revolutionary work: tightly reading their home loan documents, learning about the deceit behind them, and creating a movement to expose it. Fiscal Times columnist David Dayen recounts how these standard Floridians challenged the most powerful institutions in America armed only with the truth - and for a brief moment, they brought the corrupt financial industry to its knees.
