The fact that the son built up a “fortress” around the house ALREADY LOCATED in a prestigious gated community further buttresses my notion that the son felt his life was threatened in some way, perhaps by mafia-backed thugs who threatened him when he couldn’t pay all his casino debt.
I don’t believe the son built this fortress for a “5-day notice to vacate.”
BK filings and dismissals are a common tactic and “par for the course” when people are faced with foreclosure and want to buy a little time.
Also, after reading this, I NO LONGER FEEL their (hard-money or sub-prime) lender solicited these trustors door-to-door. I think the son had to have sought them out.
