As far as the recordings go, the recordings that I see for the closing in February of 2007 are for 650k and 300k. Now if Jody purchased the home for 950k as it appears, and the grant deed is recorded, then the fraud would be that Jody somehow came up with documentation showing she could make the payment on the two loans.
As I said, that indeed does look like fraud to me.
However as for the short sale not going through that does not surprise me in the least. I have seen other short sales go poof due to incompentence at the lenders side. Trustee sales only get postponed when then legal department of the lender notifies the trustee. If the trustee is not notified then the sale goes down.
So that is good that you know the buyer and his girlfriend. What I am saying is that the posting on the board should not focus on the third party sale or on the trustee sale. It should focus on the facts that you knew.
I certainly did not see any posts from anyone including yourself refuting any of the accusations made about the trustee sale, or the third party purchase or the kind comments about asians/indians/chinese purchasing in carmel valley. Not to mention the two comments referring to me as well.
Sometimes not speaking up is just as bad JP. Perhaps during the storm of posts you could have posted something to the effect of “Hey all I really know is that I know the buyer, he sold to his girlfriend, and that is all I really know about this sale. Perhaps someone could look up either of the agents to see if perhaps they know some more of the facts. Otherwise all these posts are nothing but speculation and in fact could be wildly incorrect.”
Sometimes starting something and not saying something to correct it is just as bad regardless of what your original intent was.
