Taking advantage of people desparately trying to keep their homes is prettry low. I am more concerned about the families defrauded. These two, in the prime of their economic lives, will understand the depth of their actions. Apparently not too bright, did they really 'think' the mortgages were going disappear? The mortgage broker, for whom they worked, is legally liable. The broker should have been monitoring his business.
