Falling Kinife Wrightwood


1537 Betty St, Wrightwood, CA
Price history such as it is:
01/17/2012 Listed for sale $159,000 -14.1% $222
07/30/2008 Sold $185,000 -19.2% $258
05/12/2008 Price change $229,000 -8.4% $319
02/19/2008 Listed for sale $249,900 186% $349
10/19/2001 Sold $87,527 -- $122

Last month DQNews reported the village sales as averaging $105/sf.
I'm sure the 2008 knife catchers and current bag holders were sure they had stolen this house at $258/sf. The sad part is that the 2 "bedrooms are more like closets and the single bath is actually a 3/4 bath. See below:

Also hard to get a mortgage if you're uninsurable:

Insurance Denied to Fire-Safety Pioneer.

So was the mortgage settlement crap deal a stealth bailout of California as well as the Wall St. banks?

Casey met President Obama recently. This is not a joke. The fecal finger returns.

I would like to direct my fellow small-scale-scam watchers to a couple of excellent posts by "Richard Smith", who occasionally posts at Yves Smith's blog:

Bernie O’Brien, the Scammer who can Scam Scammers

Catching white-collar criminals is part of my day job, so I suppose this is why I find it to be so fascinating, but I think even a general audience will find it to be a great read. The gist of the narrative rings true; big-scale scammers love finding small-scale scammers, because they know that they will be the last people in the world to go to the police. Particularly, you know, small-scale scammers with easy access to money from their own sweet™ deals.
