6. My friend was illegally foreclosed on in 2009. The 'law mill' that drove her out of her home, is now

closed. The value of her home was approximately $120,000. She is the widow of a veteran. The eviction notice arrived on Veterans Day.

Since then, thanks to ONE US Attorney whom she contacted, Schneidermann of NY, her case was included in the 'settlement'. She was offered, wait for it, $800.00 by the government office who is handling this 'settlement'.

Naturally she has refused. Because Schneidermann held out from signing the original agreement, which he was under enormous pressure to sign, she can still sue Steven Baum's crooked law mill, if he isn't bankrupt by now, and the bank Wells Fargo. But even that recourse was nearly taken away by an agreement with the banks pushed by our government.

She did not respond to the insult as she plans to sue for compensation for her home. So they sent the offer again early this year.

If this report is accurate, she would not have received it anyhow.

Great crimes were committed against millions of people like her and still, no one has been held accountable. She is one of the lucky ones who can now afford an attorney, but hundreds of thousands of others can not and will most likely be forced to take the pittance the government is offering them, and they may not even receive that now.
