In any case the person took a loan, couldn't pay and destroyed the property.
Major jail time should be given to this loser. No excuses.
The person acted like a spoiled child due something.
I bet this same story ran on DU and the 24 year old Poli Sci grad students over there thought this guy is some sort of folk hero, sticking it to the man. He just opened up a can of whoop as* himself, years of wage garnishment, liens, etc. Should have let the bank take it, there is zero market for REO real estate in that part of Ohio. The guy is a moron and a deadbeat.
What he did was ugly, but not a crime.
The bank could sue him for their loss, but the fool probably doesn’t have any assets.
I disagree. The man was willing to pay off the loan by selling his home, but the bank refused to let him sell. Why? Because once they got the deed to the property, they could sell it for more money. Seems illegal to me what the bank was doing.
