Yes, back to the sand pounding. Politics sneaks inot the boards and it never goes well, religion will only polarize what has already been a very balanced and logical discussion thus far (see, sarcasm is always appropriate).
In the wardens words,”What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
Conned, you are interpreting the lack of sympathy as attacks. The communication you have with fellow investors won’t be nearly as beneficial, it will feel better, but it won’t help as much. Hidden in some of these posts was actually some sound advice about BK, proving you didn’t sign or there was doccument alteration after you signed and eventually you will regain your credit and probably your primary residence. You’ll never get any money from the crooks, just blood, they spent or hid your money but you may be able to salvage some of this. Every successful person has suffered some calamity along the way, even to a greater degree than yours, spend some of your time on revenge but not all of it, look for legal ways to get to the other side of this and do learn from you mistake. Most everyone on this board was begging you to just admit that you had some small amount of responsibility, that the prize blinded you a little but your not ready for that, you rested on the reason you wanted to get rich was to send your husband to seminary so because you felt the goal was noble, the desire was acceptable and can’t be called greed.
You are facing the first step of a twelve step program, you’ve hit bottom and just like anyone else that has hit bottom you have to take the first step, admit you made a mistake. I can see how you fell for it and how they gained your trust, playing on your faith and friendships, you won’t benefit until you see it. I still think there are others out there who weren’t defrauded and will still sustain financial ruin without fraud, just because they bought into the theory that real estate always goes up and there is no risk. We see that with people having their only home foreclosed on, we feel some pity and yet that is thwarted by our confusion as to how they could have entered into a contract they knew they couldn’t keep, taking on too much risk is exactly that, risk.
I am going to quote Lao Tzu, I know you will reject it on it’s face because he is considered a Taoist. Don’t fret, it was written long before Jesus was born, before the bible existed and is considered philisiphy and not religion by many, therefore he should get a free pass from blasphemy since there was no christian religion when he wrote this.
Chapter 19, from the Tao Te Ching
“Get rid of cleverness and abandon profit, and thieves and gangsters will not exist.”
I wish you well in your journey. Even Donald Trump went bankrupt.
