It is theft and corruption. Call it by any other name, and it is still theft and corruption.

"But after effectively ending a New Jersey homeowner’s foreclosure case in November because the state’s six-year statute of limitations had expired, he wrote in his opinion, “With a proper measure of disquiet and chagrin, the court now must retreat from this position.”

The Judge is wrong law doesn't apply in such cases.

Many think they’re getting even with the ‘Banksters’. But two wrongs are still two wrongs. How can a society recover from such corrupt practices?

Yes it is. There is nothing these people ever did or will do to earn what they stole. In the end we all pay for their “good fortune”......

A statute of limitations is not a corrupt practice.

They didn’t steal anything. The banks did chose not file claims in time

No it doesn’t, States out date Real-estate laws do not apply today’s suave Mortgage lenders.

In order for the statute of limitations to apply, the Banks must have waited for more than six years from the date of the last mortgage payment to even file a lawsuit. Even a single payment restarts the running of the statute of limitations.

Theft by the banks or the people the banks failed to prove their case against?

I am not supporting the people who are getting their homes and not having to pay for them, but what the hell is wrong with the banks for waiting so long to recover these houses?

Forgive me if I am wondering if we’re only seeing a very small part of the story here. I can’t imagine that there’s not a compelling reason why a money-grubbing bank would not follow through on a foreclosure unless by doing so they’re somehow making MORE money.

She used a lawyer to finesse the law instead of making good faith payments ($1300 mortgage vs. $500/month for the lawyer). It doesn’t make her right. She stole the house.

I read the article and I think she was capricious and disingenuous in her representation to the bank about any “deal” and she scammed them.

Regardless, now the banks won’t have to pay the property taxes (back taxes included) and insurance and this b!tch will lose the house.

“How can a society recover from such corrupt practices?”

You ask that while the people who caused it remain free and clear enjoying the billions they “earned”.
