Thank You, Los Angeles Times
Sharon Lewis went to the Los Angeles Times and cried herself a river. She was a poor innocent homeowner trapped by the subprime implosion. Faced with a pending rate hike and an increasing mortgage and the possible loss of her home, she positioned herself as the perfect victim Senator Dodd want to rescue.
Then we learn that Sharon didn’t just buy one home back in June 2005. No, she actually bought three homes.
Then we find out Sharon sold two of the homes to a guy named Darryl in the summer of 2006. Somehow Darryl then added Sharon back on to the title on one of the homes.
Now we find out Sharon and Darryl are actually a married couple. So basically, Sharon sold her homes to her husband at a profit, a profit they both kept.
We now also know the transactions from seller/wife Sharon to buyer/husband Darryl were non-MLS FSBO sales.
And…
Sharon is a Realtor® and she was the Realtor® of record on the fraudulent sales.
But the public still think Sharon Lewis is a poor homeowner that needs a federal bailout because of LA Times’ irresponsible reporting.
Thank you, Los Angeles Times. I feel like I have to laugh to keep from bawling.

How about informing brain dead Dodd about this, as well as the LA Times editorial section.. and also hint that a lot of the people are in those dire straights may be the ones partially responsible for the problem.. and they had their hand still in the cookie jar when the lid came down..
