It pi$$ed me off no end that NO ONE ever linked him to WedTech and Andrew Cuomo instead of just the PVB.

just to add fuel to the fire,

during Geithner’s press conference, the person repeating the questions did a freudian slip of starting to say “death of the united states”. He actually caught himself and promptly corrected death to debt. The question apparently was debt of the united states adversly affecting the US dollar. After the question, Geithner was mega squirming. It happened about 9:10 am EST.

The obamacrats probably will still use his suicide as a scapegoat.

The nuts are the people who immediately believe everything the media feeds them.

Murder police are at the scene now. Looks like it’s not such an open/shut suicide case after all.

Right with ya. About July of last year, I had a conversation with my wife about hunkering down. I told her that something bad was coming down the road, but I didn’t know what it was. Initially she was skeptical (natch), but when the poop hit the propeller, we were in good shape. Lost a LOT of money on paper, but other than that, doing OK. Not an accountant, but took lots of accounting for my own good in college. Paying off big time now. We live in hurricane country and are no strangers to short and long term disruptions.
Also, yes the suicide seems odd, but if it weren’t for the Vince Foster incident, there would not be so much suspicion. If it quacks like a duck.......

Here's more on how "The American Dream" of sub-prime mortgages played out.

Husband And Wife Plead Guilty To Massive Florida Straw Buyer Scheme ("God's children" living the American Dream)

Staff Reporter, 06/02/08

Juan and Rachael Torrens pled guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with their participation in a recent multi-million dollar mortgage fraud scheme in South Florida. The defendants acknowledged as part of their guilty plea that their scheme produced over $15,000,000 in fraudulent loans, and resulted in losses of over $5,000,000 to various lenders. With Juan and Rachael Torrens‘ guilty pleas, 15 of the original 31 defendants charged have pled guilty.

As previously reported by Mortgage Fraud Blog, defendants Juan Torrens, the de facto owner of Amsouth Trust & Investment Corp. (”Amsouth”) and president of Countryside Land & Development, Inc., Rachael Torrens, president of 1st Choice Realty of South Florida, Inc. and de facto owner of First United Mortgage USA Corp., Daniel Ramos, Alfonso A. Muxo, a State of Florida certified real estate appraiser and owner of Palm Bay Real Estate Appraisals, Inc., and Katherine Harris, former president and part owner of Floridian Home Title Corporation, were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and/or wire fraud for their participation in this massive mortgage fraud scheme.

The scheme involved fraudulent mortgage loans obtained for the purchase of 28 properties located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, Florida, and in the City of Marco Island. All except Katherine Harris have already pled guilty, and are awaiting sentence.

The Indictment also charges defendants Mario E. Diaz, Aurelio Pozo, Oscar Barreiro, Lellany Rordriguez, Jose Asensi, Carlos Morales, Damaris Jimenez, Lizabeth Perez, Mario Blanco, Rene Rodriguez, Tamaris Angulo, Alicia Loaiza, Ester Crespo, Jesus Enrique Guevara, Janette Lugo, Priscilla Fleitas, Erick Clavijo, Luis DeJesus Planas, Moises Llorens, Milva Roque, Aurora Ramentol, Gladys Lens, Nancy Fundora, Yanny Cruz Pavon, Roger Rosario and Jacqueline Perez-Castillo ("the straw buyer defendants") with wire fraud for their participation in this mortgage fraud scheme. To date, guilty pleas have been entered by defendants Aurelio Pozo, Oscar Barreiro, Carlos Morales, Damaris Jimenez, Mario Blanco, Jesus Enrique Guevara, Janette Lugo, Priscilla Fleitas, Moises Llorens, Gladys Lens, and Roger Rosario.

According to the Indictment, Juan Torrens would identify sellers of residential properties who were willing to overstate the true selling price of their properties. Daniel Ramos and Juan Torrens would then recruit and pay the straw buyer defendants to pose as buyers and ostensibly participate in the purchase of the selected properties. Defendants Rachael Torrens and Juan Torrens would prepare fraudulent mortgage loan applications for the straw purchasers that included false employment verifications, pay stubs, income and funds on deposit, and IRS Forms W-2.

Thereafter, to support the overstated sales prices on the properties and the fraudulent mortgage applications, defendant Alonso A. Muxo would prepare fraudulent appraisals attesting to the inflated property values dictated by Juan Torrens. Roger Rosario, an employee of Regions Bank, assisted the fraud by providing, on at least one occasion, a fraudulent verification of deposit in connection with a mortgage loan application for one of the straw buyer defendants.

To effectuate the scheme, defendants Juan Torrens and Rachael Torrens, together with the straw buyer defendants, would create and submit to the banks and lending institutions HUD-Settlement Statement Forms, also known as HUD-1s, which falsely stated that the straw buyers brought their own funds to the closings. Once the mortgage applications were approved, the lenders would wire the loan proceeds to the title company, Floridian Home Title, for closing. At closing, Amsouth, a company owned and controlled by Juan Torrens, would receive a credit for the difference between the inflated price and the actual selling price of the property. Defendants Juan and Rachael Torrens would make the payments on the mortgage loans to maintain the loans afloat until the properties could be resold again, often to another straw buyer.

When the Torrenses failed to make payments on the loans, some properties went into foreclosure, resulting in substantial losses to the lending institutions (and taxpayers).

Never let a crisis go to waste. Based on what the media “reports”, I will believe the opposite.

There was a wholebunchalotta other crap he was involved in (WedTech, Gen. (Col?) Secord, Andrew Cuomo and more) that never hit the light of day. Also, that “suicide attempt” in his car was not what it was made out to be. According to a detective I knew at the time, there was a “hooker” (assasin?) in the car at that time. That fact made it into the papers, but quickly dissappeared.

Also, how did the wife find him at 4 a.m.? Did she wake up and try to wake him in their bed? Was he in another room and when she found him? Fox is now reporting on other stories...guess they are waiting for details.

If he was protecting his family, why did he kill himself where either his wife or his daughter would find the body?

“Murder police are at the scene now. Looks like it’s not such an open/shut suicide case after all.”

LOL. Does anyone really think that if this was a murder it will be disclosed? If this was a murder, and murder police are at the scene then they are the cover-up police.

It's reported he recently got a bonus of over $800k. Did you see the aerial of his house? $800k would cover that with extra to spare for any toy in the garage.
