And yet we’re supposed to think that the “strategic defaulters” are scum-of-the-earth who take advantage of the poor little banks

They are scum. They bought something, promised to pay and skipped out because they wanted something else. Sorry, that is scum behavior and decent people won't have anything to do with them.

They bought something, promised to pay and...

...gave it back for the bank to resell. At worst it's a gray area, especially in this environment where you simply can NOT trust the banks to be even slightly honorable on their end.

Like the Mortgage Bankers Assocation, who bought a nice shiny new headquarters building in DC, then walked away when they decided they couldn't afford it, strategically defaulting to the tune of about $40 million.
