SDR…
Huge case for sure….lots of media attention.
I hope that you get a good return on your lost investment.
Ours isn’t that big and doesn’t attract national attention…no alternative for us but to ‘get scrappy’ and fight hard.
If you read the SEC litigation releases…it becomes obvious that so many all over the country fall prey to crooks in all shapes, sizes, and cons. Everyones’ story is different, but at the very heart we are all victims of some kind of crook.
How do we get the word out so that the tide of people being victimized stops rising?February 28, 2008 at 11:23 AM #162238AnonymousGuestSDR…

How do we get the word out so that the tide of people being victimized stops rising?February 28, 2008 at 11:31 AM #161947AnonymousGuestWe weren’t trying to draw parallels.
Just point out that OCRenter has a very sharp edge to him and maybe it needs to be softened a tad.
He has made some very ugly comments on this blog and his own…when you go out on a limb that far…eventually it will break.
I personally don’t understand his ugliness toward us. It is very misdirected.
Let’s put that anger to better use in educating others not to make the same mistake instead of flinging mud.And yes…we have picketed in front of the Riverside courthouse a few times.

I don’t think you can…
Think about it… cons prey on peoples base instinct of greed. Yes there are many who prey on the elderly and such but that is not anything we can prevent because the elderly and others are usually running through their own lives in a diminished capacity intellectually.
All you can do is to be prudent OR to acknowledge the risk and invest the appropriate amount of money knowing that the money can in all likelihood fly away.
Cons will ALWAYS be around…white collar, blue collar, whatever. They will take all sorts of shapes and forms. You are waging a battle against yours and that is great. There is no argument that you guys were swindled. Yet the argument I think that FLU and others were making to Core Client, (and I had even chimed in) was that even without the criminal element, the base instinct that drove the purchases was one of being able to take advantage of a speculative housing market.
Also there are plenty of people who are not ever the victims of some kind of crook. Lots of them. They just never give into the greed instinct. However no risk and no reward correct? Anyways in your personal case you did admit it was greed and yes it does suck that you guys were shiestered.
