"Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious." [Simone in "Ferris Buller's Day Off"]
You see turns out Nigel has a friend who is "a Federal law enforcement officer. [The] friend asked not to be identified for the purpose of this article,... His opinion on Casey's situation is it is highly unlikely it will be prosecuted."
Face it. We are all just jealous because the little voices are only talking to Nigel.
UPDATE: Be sure to read "The Adventures of Super Accountant" in the comments.

It's going to be a long, long wind down for CS and IAFF before the law catches up with him. Anyways I thought all you yanks were too busy fighting wars on errors for the various law enforcements departments to be that interested in his nefarious actions?

Interesting Ventura County post here. Wish I were an 'early receiver too'. LOL

For Fuck's Sake Crazy -
Stop Cyber Stalking you mortgage brokering troll.
I actually agree with Nigel's anal-ysis on this one. The real rope which hangs Casey won't be the liar loans themselves, but instead the 1099 that each lender files after each house goes to auction.
Correct me if I'm wrong, even if the lender "forgives" the difference between the loan amount and the auction price, the difference is treated as income for Casey, reported to the IRS on a 1099 form. And let's not forget the BOE in California.
all these chickens will be coming home to roost April 15th, 2008.
So for those of you who have contacted the authorities, what response have you gotten from them? Are they gonna go after Casey or what?
I told them all about Casey as well as Nigel.
From Nigel's blog
"He's a forensic accountant by trade, but don't let that title fool you. My friend is an avid outdoors man whose weaponry skills are utilized strongly by our government. He's also the guy that conducts interrogations of bad guys. With the evidence he's researched at hand, he'll go into that interrogation room and drop the bomb on suspected crime ringleaders. Though unassuming to look at, I would never want to mess with this friend of mine. He has no sympathy for bad guys."
What a fucking tool. Do people that post things like this actually think that others believe their stories?
It's the new FBI. You know...forensic accountant by day, SWAT team by night, interrogator on weekends...
Either Nigel is lying or his little friend is. I can tell you with 100% certainty that they are not putting forensic accountants into interrogation rooms or utilizing their "special weaponry" skills. That makes absolutely no sense.
"hey Joe - when you're finished with your accounting can fill in for our sniper? He's out today.
Thanks so much! By the way, nice work on that waterboarding yesterday!"
I think maybe Nigel watched one too many episodes of CSI - you know, where the guy is picking up hairs with tweezers at the crime scene one minute, analyzing it in the lab the next and then throwing the bad guy up against the wall and stickintg his gun in the guy's face in the interrogation room in the next. Last time I checked, forensic accountants sat in front of computers looking at numbers. Though I wouldn't put it past them to put them in an interrogation room to confront them about numbers, I highly doubt it's nearly as dramatic as Nigel would have you believe.
I think the gist of what Nigel says is they'd have to expose the ponzi scheme top to bottom. But why wouldn't they? Casey is as easy a target to get that job done as ever there was. The Feds don't need to lock up Casey but they can certainly threatetn to lock him up if he doesn't sing on every Tom Dick and Harry involved.
Ultimately the result of that could be far worse than a little time in the joint. Anyway, I can always rest assured that Casey won't ever amount to much, since his credit is shot, he'll owe the IRS a boatload that will follow him for years and he will have to commit more crimes to ever be successful.
you have got to be f-in kidding me.
Unlike Nigel, I actually know a forensic accountant and it is not even remotely as close as exotic and exciting as Nigel is pawning it off to be.
Forensic accounting is just as boring as it sounds.
First lets combine forensics...a field in itself that is tedious, labor and time intensive, and just downright makes you want to fall asleep. Cases are not solved and cookie cutter in a 60 minute television show, they take hundreds and thousands of man hours of crunching data and analyzing crime scene info.
Now lets throw accounting into the mix. Accounting is tedious and labor and time heavy also. The more time you spend with the GL the easier it is at the end of the month to make all your accounts balance.
THat is accounting in its simplest form, when you take a company like enron, multinational conglomerate and start getting aweful complicated with subsidiaries and countries and different methods of accounting into each one..this is where a forensic pathologist comes into play.
They trace money, crunch data...months, years, decades worth of data...just sit there and crunch it.
They dont chase bad guys in foot races, car races, have shootouts...that is all a crock of shit that nigel would have you believe..
See the majority of people they go after are white collar criminals. The kenneth lays of the world....see white old men worth 200+ million simply do not run...and when the forensic pathologist is questioning them it is basically questions saying..
PRosecutor You moved 20 million dollars from accounts receivable and booked it as purchase discounts and allowances?
Kenneth Lay Talk to Arthur Anderson they were the accounting firm (I dont think it was Arthur Anderson---it is usually one of the big 3 though)
(another 5 hours of boring numbers talk goes on blah blah blah blah blah)
In walks nigel, OMG Kenneth Lay, You got served.
Prosecutor Yah, you got served.
Nigel Is this the exciting part...you interrogated a bad guy, but what is he doing with a Mocha and a scone?
Holy shit! You guys have the comprehension skills of five year olds.
Don't bash what you don't understand, re-read it.
If you believe any of Nigel's blatant troll, you need to re-read Arty the Smarty.
Total b@llsh&t.
That's hilarious. The sniping accountant interrogator. You notice that the federal government apparently only has the one person trained in interrogation.
"He's also the guy that conducts interrogations of bad guys."
When he's not out shooting people, you know, strongly, or sitting in a cube crunching numbers. He's a renaissance figment of Nigel's imagination! Hee!
I agree Nigel watches a wee bit too much television.
kinda like Jack Bauer with a math skills
if they don't prosecute Casey soon, I swear i'll take out 8 liar loans and buy stuff all over the place!!!
It's too bad Nigel didn't post my comment. I asked him to tell us which agency this friend works for. If you have a non-special agent working with weapons and a non-interrogator doing interrogations, I know some people who would be VERY interested in investigating that.
It violates a whole lot of pesky rules.
Coming next fall to NBC:
"Sniper Accountant!"
It's not just numbers he zeros in on....
I posted at Nigels:
Expect THIS...
Nigel has decline to post my reply as well. Lucky thing there's EN where contrary views are allowed to see the light of day. Either the "friend" is misrepresenting or Nigel or likely both. Bottom line "friends" opinion of the Casey matter is worse than worthless.
Amazing that no one here believes the story. Even if there is some kernel of truth buried deep inside Nigel should learn the lesson that you are judged by the company you keep.
Nigel is a troll and his "friend" is a moron, if not just a figment of Nigel's imagination.
The US Attorney's office would not get involved in this case. It is clear cut mortgage fraud, which is the domain of the FBI. Despite the fact that he bought houses in multiple states there is no implication of interstate commerce laws being violated.
I actually do know a field officer out of the Sacramento division of the FBI. He is quite aware of Casey, but the case backlog is huge. His foolish publicity is escalating his visibility, however, and my friend's theory is that he may get bumped to the front of the queue if the perception becomes that by not prosecuting him they risk their public image or encouragement of copycats.
Bottom line is even with all the media exposure his audience is small. Walk down the street and mention Casey Serin to ten people and the chances are none of them will know who the hell the guy is. Unless he gets alot more exposure or a significantly large number of complaints filed with the FBI (we are talking thousands or more) he will likely remain under the radar.
Rick,
Please tell your real friend that they are indeed not only risking their public reputation but they are doing a sisserive to their constituency as Casey is not like most other mortgage fraud. His is a case where the longer he remains unaccountable the more damage is done. One of the reasons mortgage fraud isn't a time sensitive crime is because once the deed is done there's not much more damage to do. Time sometimes even undid some of the damage. No so in this case. Time to stop the bleeding, I have no desire to see even Casey suffer more bleeding at this point, and move onto the next phase of this example of a far more widespread problem. Hey, if Casey can get to the front of the line maybe he can have some negotiating positions. By this time next year anyone offering to testify in exchange for a break is going to be met with "we got everything we need on all the people you mentioned already."
I think that the great danger for Casey is if the real estate slide turns into a crash, and the larger economy starts tanking because of it.
If several million people are losing their jobs, there is going to be a big demand to produce scapegoats, and Casey has tied himself up with a bright red ribbon as a present for any prosecutor trying to appease an angry electorate.
(Deleting incriminating stuff off of his blog is going to work really well too...)
@ Rob Dawg
Nothing but love here, but did Simone say that in FB's Day Off? Wasn't Simone his gf? I thought it was just that random girl in Ben Stein's class. I realize that this is kind of off topic - but just wanted to give you a little 411 before Crazy Serin and the Internet Police go all crazy on you for misquoting.
p.s. One more question - why are Dolph's posts getting erased? It's your blog and I have no problem with it, was just curious.
jim,
Simone was just a ditzy girl in [Ben Stien's] economics class with Ferris. It was a one shot joke in the movie. No, Sinone was not Ferris' girlfriend.
The IP and Crazy are gonna try and fail to disrupt the adults. No fishy treats for them. Won't be long before the new site is up where they won't even have an audience who'll tolerate this much childishness.
Dolph is having problems? First i've heard of it. Twern't nothing I done. Garwsh I ain't even been drinkin' much so i cannot claim so much as a fugue. Dolph? 'Vrything Okay?
The Adventures of Super Accountant
Our hero is busy in his office as his alter-ego, Mr. Accountant. He hears a knock at the door, and looks up from his PC XT where he is busily digging through terrorists' Jamba Juice charge card accounts. The door opens and Ms. Secretary walks into the room. She's dressed conservatively, has her hair up in a bun, and is wearing nerd glasses, but you can tell she's totally HAWT.
Ms. S: Mr. A, incoming call on the super secret encrypto-phone. Has anyone ever told you that you're the sexiest accountant alive?
Mr. A: Ha ha, Ms. S, if I had a dime for every time I've heard that, I would have $1136.70. By the way, please take this down: My place tonight. You bring the sensual body massage cream, I'll bring the magic.
Ms. S stands there biting her lip and staring at him lustily. Mr. A presses a button and the goldfish bowl on his desk lowers and is replaced by a bright red telephone with a flashing light. Mr. A picks up the handset.
Mr. A: Hello? Yes, Mr. President! Why thank you! I think you're doing a heckuva job too. What's that? Osama Bin Laden is here in Sacramento?? And he's working at a Jamba Juice as cover? You've raised the terror alert level to "wheatgrass"? Good lord!! Yes sir, I'll get right on it!!
Mr. A slams the phone down, leaps up from his oversized leather chair and disappears into his closet.
Mr. A: Oh, hi Nigel. You're still in here?
Mr. A emerges from the closet as Super Accountant. He looks exactly the same except his nerd glasses have been replaced by designer shades with white tape in the middle and he's wearing a cape and a black leather trenchcoat.
Super A: You know, you're going to have to come out of there eventually, Nigel.
Super A opens a drawer clearly marked as "top secret" in his file cabinet and leaps into it. He slides down a secret chute that ends at the ceiling of his secret cave and somersaults into his convertible Ferrari.
We see a shot of a busy city sidewalk with a bagel vendor and one of those guys selling bootleg Rolexes. Suddenly, the entire section of sidewalk raises up and the Ferrari bursts out onto the street. No one seems to notice.
Super A screeches to a stop in front of the West Sac JJ.
Super A: I calculate that I received 27.8954 miles per gallon! Now to give this evildoer a 24-to-life juice fast!
Super A throws open the door to the JJ.
Busty Female Patron: OMG!! It's Super Accountant! The only accountant ever to succesfully count to infinity!!
All around the room, female patrons begin removing their panties. Super A notices a suspicious looking cashier. Actually, he looks exactly like that famous Osama Bin Laden photo, except he is wearing novelty nose glasses. He looks around shiftily, then turns to the juice dispenser with a bag clearly labelled as "anthrax."
Super A: Step away from the juicer, vile villain!!
Super A pulls out his trusty calculator and launches it at Osama. It knocks off Osama's clever disguise and then returns spinning to Super A's hand.
Busty Female Patron: OMG!! It's Osama Bin Laden!!
All around the room, female patrons begin putting their panties back on.
Osama: Infidel!! You will pay for this insolence! I hate you for your freedom, and it has nothing at all to do with the fact that you have been meddling in my country's affairs for the last 50 years and taking our oil!!
Osama pulls the cash drawer out of the register and hurls it at Super A. Hundreds of dirty pennies form a sinister cloud of 'lose' change as they fly at our hero. In bullet time, Super A counts them all.
Super A: We'll just add that $127.54 to the INFINITE total that you owe to the American people, you nightgown-wearing jackass!!
Super A's hands become a blur as he unleashes a stream of paperwork at the leader of Al Qaeda. Osama is buried under a mountain of forms, returns, and statements.
Super A: And you can take THAT to the BANK!!!
The scream from "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who plays. End scene.
tall tales;
Thanks so very much. That was pure comic genius. It's only 9AM and I'm already calling "Post of the Day!"
Busty Female Patron: OMG!! It's Super Accountant! The only accountant ever to succesfully count to infinity!!
This happens to me all the time.
@ Rob Dawg
I stand corrected. And you'll have to forgive me but I originally didn't believe you so I had to go to imdb and prove it to myself. I had confused Sloane and Simone. As always - props to R-Dawg and 'the pack'.
A deeply moving tale above, with a moral I think we can all stand behind. Truly *dabs away tears* an American Hero.
This super secret agent friend of Nigel's reminds me of all the Steven Seagal movies, you know, where he is made to be almost super invincible..just a taste..
We get treated to one of the Seagal movies’ patented "This guy is really bad!" speeches, as Jennings answers the inevitable "Who is this guy?!" question with a response sure to resonate with Film Critics everywhere:
Jennings: "Who is he?! You want to know who he is?!! Try this!! Delve down, into the deepest bowels of your soul. Try to imagine the ultimate f*cking nightmare. And that won’t come close, to this Son of a B*tch, when he gets pissed!"
However, it’s mercenary leader Stone who gets to deliver the film’s real "This guy’s good!" speech. Proving that politics is all in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the script was denied even a nomination for Best Original Screenplay, despite this brilliant piece of oration: "My guy in D.C. tells me that we are not dealing with a student here, we’re dealing with the Professor. Any time the military has an operation that can’t fail, they call this guy in to train the troops, OK? He’s the kind of guy that would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire! You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he’s going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. This guy’s a professional, you got me? If he reaches this rig, we’re all gonna be nothing but a big g*dd*mned hole right in the middle of Alaska. So let’s go find him and kill him and get rid of the son of a b*tch!"
Nigel's "friend" sounds like Bill Paxton's character in True Lies, you know the fake spy who tries to get it on with Jamie Lee Curtis
I agree with Rick and disagree with Cased:
@Rick: Unless he gets alot more exposure or a significantly large number of complaints filed with the FBI (we are talking thousands or more) he will likely remain under the radar.
The fraud being prosecuted are true flippers, groups who flip and reflip a home with cashback each time then sell to a straw buyer. They take out hundreds of thousands, not $20k, and they do several of these at a time.
@Cased: I think that the great danger for Casey is if the real estate slide turns into a crash, and the larger economy starts tanking because of it.
There are so many people out there who did what Casey did that a real RE crash would produce tens of thousands of CSs.
As much as I hate the thought of it, unless there is more than meets the eye, annoying phone calls and a bad credit record for 10 years is all of CS punishment.
I must admit Nigel cracked me up this morning. While posting as Crazy Sarin, he asks Rob to credit his Blog. Then, right on the front page is Vague Guru's image......Unattributed!
Nigel, don't you know how to not be self-serving?
I don't know how useful this info will be, but I'm in the mood to chime in.
My brother used to be a forensic accountant. I talked to him about this once years ago, and he did have to do lots of interviewing of the people involved in the event under investigation. This is a far cry from interrogation, though. The one thing I recall clearly is that he said that you can't tell the liars from the honest folks while talking to them; you had to believe the numbers.
NR
PS He has no gun/sword/Ninja talents.
ROFL @ Super Accountant!
@Rob
I did make the argument that the reputation of the FBI was at risk if they did not pursue the case. He responded with the "Ask 10 people on the street who Casey Serin is...". They won't pursue a case on that principal unless its a real social hot button issue.
Unfortunately they really do have much bigger fish to fry, and he says that the IRS will probably be Casey's biggest nightmare.
Casey's credit is ruined. Despite his optimistic blather about sweet opportunities there is absolutely no incentive for anyone serious to do business with the moron. He is lazy, does not understand the concept of hard work, wants things for nothing, has no buying power, no leverage, nothing but huge downside in having him associated with a business.
Most likely he will spend the rest of his life leeching off his parents and family until they finally get sick of him and kick him to the curb.
Guys, I keep deleting the posts myself because I don't want to inflame the trolls. I guess my self control is lacking in that department (maybe Casey and I have something in common, LOL).
I admit I am tired of being called "dumb" but I'm over it. Time to be proactive and stop arguing with anonymous cowards who have zero clue what intelligence is.
I have one word for anybody who thinks writing = brilliance...EINSTEIN. The man couldn't write a sentence to save his life. I can also point to many other brilliant people.
Remember Anonymous fella: Those who judge others by their writing style are not as smart themselves. I've got better things to do than write lengthy dissertations on the Internet. My points must hit home or else you wouldn't single me out with every other post.
I promise this, no more reactions.
Thanks and I'll be here all day.
I might also add that many brilliant business people have very basic writing styles, but nobody would dare say a lot of them are stupid.
dolph,
you're no einstein, but you are a dumbshit. or would you prefer dipshit?
A.T.
ackkk he's not allowing comments on his new idiot post!
@Jade:
Of course he's not allowing posts. Don't be silly.
He thinks that if he can get people posting on his blog to agree with his ridiculous statement that he shouldn't go to jail that he really won't go to jail.
The main reason that he started the blog was because he thought that someone with more money than common sense would pay off his loans, ala SaveKaryn.com. He has a link to her panhandling site in his de.licio.us bookmarks. It ties in a little too well with his "Getting Saved" blog banner to be a coincidence.
He also probably thought that he'd make some good business contacts, which certainly backfired on him when the PRLinkBitches trolled him into signing a contract, and again when Duane used him for almost free publicity. Then there's Casey's posts about being able to line up lenders with credit lines of up to two billion dollars. Either he's being trolled again or he's trying to troll. No one seems to believe it, with the possible exception of Casey himself, so it really doesn't matter except for the possible entertainment value.
He also wanted to use the blog to build up vocal public support, in hopes that it would keep him from getting prosecuted. He thought that no prosecuter would touch him if his story of being a naive young entreprenaur with a strong religious upbringing who made some mistakes became a popular cause.
Then again, there's an equally good chance that he's blogging so that when he does go to court that he can claim that he's mentally disabled and plead some sort of diminished responsibility. That one might even be true.
@Dolph
I don't know who you are or anything about your background here. I only recently started reading this blog.
However, it is pretty easy to tell that you're overly sensitive and that you'd be better off either posting under another name or not posting at all if you can't stand being trolled.
From what little I've seen, you're getting 0wn3D.
By the way....English wasn't Einstein's native language. You might want to use another example. Just sayin'.
Anonymous said...
you're getting 0wn3D.
What are you? A 13 year old, pimply-faced, virginal, internet ninja?
Nice.
*rolls eyes*
T,
I've been dealing with anons who use "0wn3d" and other things for more than a decade. They have in their mind that they are meta-trolls, that they transcend normal trolling and only use their powers of disruption for a higher purpose. Sadder than regular trolls even pity and disgust is not their fate.
I thought "0wn3d" was spelled "pwned", pronounced "poned" (as in SOUTH PARK) and said aloud with the inflection of the Comic Book Guy from THE SIMPSONS.
Casey will probably be "poned" some day, and sold like real estate himself, for cigarettes instead of borrowed dollars. He'll be fixed'n'flipped often, until his butt bleeds.
I ain't hatin', though. I'll laugh like crazy if the dastard gets away with his nefarious schemes. It's always funny when the bad guys win: OJ, Howard Stern, Karl Rove, George Bush. Laff riots!
