“Isn’t it about time the Sheriff start seizing Oberlin’s asserts and putting them up for sale?”
In a town that size, I’d bet the Sheriff is owned by Oberlin College, and most of his family is employed there. The bakery can makes requests or demands but it won’t happen. (Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced. - Mencken)
Oh they absolutely can MAKE IT HAPPEN...
It’s not a request, you take the judgement, turn it into a lien and then force a foreclosure and sheriff sale, it’s not debatable or negotiable, and if the sheriff refuses to do it then they are subject to criminal prosecution as well.
They have no intention of paying, they lied, knew they lied, continued to lie and continue to lie to this day.. there is no integrity at this institution at all, and while the foreclosure process will drag out... its the only way they are going to see any money.. This college is just hoping they can continue to grind this family down.
If Family themselves won’t do it, then they can sell their judgement to investors who will pay them less than face value, and then they will be the entity that drives this through to final payoff.
I can understand if the Family doesn’t want to spend several more years fighting these snakes... but all it takes is the numbers to be right and someone will be willing to put cash in front of them and fight the fight to get the balance and intrest.
