BTW, the FBI did get back to me back in November/December and said that they were not pursuing that particular kind of fraud because they didn’t think it was widespread enough. Seriously. 🙁
If law enforcement ever wanted to get ahead of crime, they would read these blogs and get on the ball BEFORE all the damage was done. It’s very frustrating.
People (myself included) were trying to warn them years ago about fraudulent deals that were pushing prices up during the boom. They couldn’t have cared less. Then, when “the world is coming to an end,” and they want our tax money, the govt claims that “NOBODY could have seen this coming.” Lying maggots…
FBI: Are you listening now????[/quote]
FBI will only get on it if Congress wants them to. It’s probably worth trying to get your Congressman involved, if you can.
Of course, many key members of Congress are trying to ensure there are no speed bumps for the govt money pouring into housing. So your Congressman may not be interested in pushing the FBI into something that’s still happening. (My C-critter is Barney Frank, for example, and I know he has no interest in depriving the housing market of any really large flow of money, fraudulent or not.) Better to have the FBI go after the stuff that’s already stopped of its own accord. Or your Congressman may not have much power to go against the real barons – Barney, Dodd, Schumer, Pelosi etc. (Bipartisan complaint here – it’s just that most power to do damage or otherwise lies with Dems now, and the Repubs are almost irrelevant, except as a way to deflect attention.)
