Top Foreclosure Firm Threw Homeless-Themed Halloween Bash

If you're one of the nation's top "foreclosure mill" law firms—representing Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo in their attempts to foreclose on homes and evict homeowners—what better way to celebrate Halloween than by throwing a party where everyone comes as a dirty, homeless victim of your practice?

The New York Times' Joe Nocera was sent a series of photos from a Halloween party thrown last year by the firm of Steven J. Baum—the "merciless" foreclosure mill, subject of a Justice Department investigation, and defendant in at least two class-action lawsuits over its shady foreclosure practices. In one photo, two women with fake dirt on their faces hold a sign that says "3rd party squatter. I lost my home and was never served!!"; in another, a woman holding a beer bottle in a paper bag pushes a shopping cart with a sign saying "will work for food." They're pretty horrible! Like, "would offend the richest, whitest frat at the most conservative university in the south" horrible.

The firm, when contacted by Nocera, called the photos "another attempt by The New York Times to attack our firm and our work." Well... yeah. Because your firm is horrible and your work sucks.

7. Looking at those useless cows makes me want to break something.

Thinking back over the close to a decade I've been a part of this place, I think this is the most pissed off I've ever been by a picture posted here.

I wouldn't piss on these cretins if they were on fire.
