Bremner found pieces of documents that had been cut to remove signatures and notary seals. Loan applications, escrow agreements and other documents had signatures that had been taped on, he said.
That validated the statements that the victims had been making over and over again: That they did not recall signing these documents and they did not agree to the terms of the loans they were given," says Bremner, a senior investigator in the real estate fraud unit of the San Bernardino County district attorney's office.
See this is what I don't get. Are people signing loan agreements and not keeping a copy of the paperwork? When I sign things (student loan promissory notes, tax forms, etc.), I generally keep a copy. Of course, that might not prevent someone from trying to say "But you also signed this", but it would make it a bit harder to convince someone that you signed two different agreements.
Grr. Some people make me judgmental and impatient. There are only so many times I can present someone with a multiple choice question...the very same multiple choice question...and have it handed back with "Dunno...you pick?" before I have an aneurysm.
I have very little sympathy for people I fluster, but still. Deadlines, people, deadlines. Large and implacable deadlines.
Here someone is alleging that:
If random blogs making allegations are proof, then nothing I can say will be remotely of interest. I tried to explain what happened because this is the kind of thing I learn for a living. I won't post about it anymore.
Timelies all!
My folks are here this weekend, attending a wedding.(The wedding is tomorrow night, and G and I aren't invited. That's ok by us) Both cats have hidden themselves away. I expected that of Luna, but I thought Nova was a more sociable cat than that.

Yeah, I found that after two minutes of googling (am supposed to be working).
eta: although my second post was about a random book, not a random blog.
No, bon bon! We actually need somebody who knows something about this for balance! But, you know, it would be a bit of a busman's holiday for you, so maybe you need to discuss fluffy puppies and hairstyles instead?
Bon, I really appreciate hearing from someone who really knows about this stuff, but also what Theo said about fluffy puppies.
Sorry, not flouncing, and I'm in a heightened state of argument because I'm drafting motions for summary judgment at work about similar things. But agreed, I should just stick to puppies and leave the passion for the paying clients.
