Sheriff Sales Blocked in Alleged Foreclosure Fraud
A federal judge this morning granted a temporary restraining order in the U.S. Attorney’s civil case against Anthony J. DeMarco, who was also charged criminally Tuesday in a mortgage foreclosure rescue scheme involving $31 million in fraudulent loans on 120 properties.

This is EXCELLENT NEWS and one small step in the right direction. We must wrest the control of our courts and law enforcement from the hands of criminals and financial predators. To me, this seems like a no-brainer.
We should all send our thanks to that federal judge on Monday. Maybe someone can post his name and office contact info.
