The story made for interesting reading and a colorful story but I still can’t get over how they were painted as victims by the big bad bank. Granted, a percentage of fault can be blamed on predatory lending but WTH happened to personal responsibility. I have no sympathy for people that can’t do simple math and realize what kind of predicament they are going to be in if the house doesn’t keep escalating with the bubble. I mean, you read what the guy said, “I’ll buy you a Lamborghini….” Doesn’t sound like them most financial savvy person. A lot of these people knew it was probably too good to be true when signing the docs and did it because everyone else was…like they mentioned in the article. Now they cry foul when shite hit the fan. You can’t have your cake and eat it. I’m no fan of banks…however, if you are that stupid to follow the rest off the cliff, I can’t have sympathy.
