Are YOU kidding? Seriously..are you KIDDING? Your argument to lay off Baum and give his firm a free pass bc he employs people is warped, your logic is off the mark. Khadaffi employed people too….shold we have given him a free pass and ignore the lives he destroyed? The people employed by Baum were depicted in the pictures posted in the NYTimes and as the saying goes, a picture is worth 1000 words. i am in the trenches day in and day out. I reported fraud committed by Baum employees in hundreds of cases you want to allow this fraud machine to continue to operate? To what end? And as for his so called Vendors..are you talking about LPS? Hello…the largest manufacturer of bogus robosigned documents was just indicted in NV. Baum is a LPS network firm. Baum needs to be dismantled and have no fear, there are many Baum wannabes in NY cirling like vultures to pick up where he left off….

Whats wrong with you people? What’s wrong with America that you no longer hold belief that if one works hard you can have anything? you’re not entitled to healthcare- work for it, you’re not entitled to have a job, a house, a car or even a license! – work for it! Why do you people constantly attack this employer. Have any of you any damn idea how many people he employes, Single moms, husbands, wives, college students, grandmas? Any idea how your selfish entitlist ramblings affect these people? No of course you don’t, because you don’t know the facts. Baum is a fair and good employer employing hundreds of people, not to mention all the vendors he uses to maintain his business. You self righteous small minded people want him shut down when it’s the banks and the government that are the real perpetrator of this whole mess the nation is in! Go after them don’t threaten or act against the people just doing their jobs per clients instructions. Baum nor any of his employees personally goes to remove people from their homes. With most laws now homeowners are given plenty opportunity to work out a modification to a home loan, most never ever bother to even send the initial paperwork, not to mention there are plenty of government organizations and other groups there to help also. So back off this employer and get a life and focus your “concernable anger” on the government from wence this all originated. Back off from the folks just trying to earn a paycheck, end your witch hunt. You people want jobs? – well that will be great when there’s 700 more people out of work!

In reply to leapfrog.

I’m pretty sure Fannie is walking to help the homeless people, that they’ve helped create- this weekend, the 17th, in DC. So let’s go over some facts: Fannie/Treasury eject homeowners through robosigning, fraud, predatory lending, et al, confirming their participation in the greatest US fraud ever from start to finish.
I suppose if I was looking for good paying work, I would probably help Fannie make people homeless, destroy peoples lives, destroy communities, lie, cheat, steal on a 24/7 basis, have politicians cover me, have the press confuse me, and keep the whole scam on the down low. But I’m not looking for this kind of work, I’ll leave it to hoods like Baum.

In reply to Glenn Russell. I thought Fannie was kicking them to the curb too...Naked Capitalism has an article out about it. Hope they go the way of David J. Sterns.
