In reply to the discussion: Ohio Bank Still REFUSING TO PAY For STEALING Everything From Woman's Home [View all]Orrex

If the judge approved foreclosure of the correct address, then I can't imagine that he or she will be found liable in any way. It's also likely that the bank worked through a subcontractor, so the bank itself will likely be insulated from liability.
Don't get me wrong--my personal feeling is that everyone involved should be held criminally liable in the same way that the victim would be liable if she'd broken into, cleaned out & sold the bank president's home. She should be rendered financially secure for life IMO, and the bank should be charged with every applicable crime.
However, I know that banks spend billions on lawyers to protect them from accountability, so I will be amazed if the victim receives anything approaching appropriate compensation.
