    patientlywaiting, I think your instincts are on target.

    I know a guy in a very similar business as The Person Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered (“TPWNSNBU”) and his company (the guy’s) is absolutely sucking wind. They might shut down this year. And they’ve been in the business for over 20 years.

    Also, it appears that TPWNSNBU was a partner with a group of investors that purchased the company (the “Company”) from its previous owners in late 2004. (There doesn’t appear to be any high and mighty private equity firm behind the Company – probably just a group of normal investors.) Now, where do you think valuations for mortgage-related companies were in late-2004? Yup, pretty high. Now, how does business compare today with late-2004 for most of these companies? Yup, pretty shitty. Now, what are valuations like today for such mortgage-related companies? Yup, pretty shitty. You see where I’m going with this?

    This whole situation smacks of petty desperation.

    IANAL (I am not a lawyer) but it is possible to sue for false light or invasion of privacy, even if the published facts are true. I’ve often wondered how long it would take for FBs to start suing bubble bloggers.

    Ironically, as a CEO, “He Who Must Not Be Named” could be deemed a public figure and has weaker grounds for a lawsuit than the average person.

    invasion of privacy is if someone go digging for personal information that is confidential (ie personal medical information or bank statement) and broadcast it.

    notice of default and listing of your home on the MLS are public in nature. first one is publically announced by the county, second you are actively searching in public for someone to buy your house.

    this is by no means not by a long stretch invasion of privacy.

    Lawyers understand the deep pocket principle.

    I wouldn’t mess with the bloggers if I were him. Information can spread like wild fire and get replicated to hundreds of websites. Trying to shut all of them down would employ a whole team of lawyers several years. Even then, the information would still be searchable.

    I love poetic justice stories.

    The info base industry has been lobbying for years that there’s no privacy in public information. Funny that is comes back to bite one of their own insiders. If it weren’t for services such as foreclosure.com few would know that there was an NOD on that house.

    OCrenter, thanks for the blog and continue the good work for transparency in the industry. You’re awesome!
