They recently prosecuted a speculator that took over 39 properties in land trusts and subject to existing financing.

The court of appeals recognized the status of the LLC as a separate legal entity and found that the public nuisance offense, placed in its ancient common law context, only authorizes prosecution of the person or entity that holds actual title to the property on which a nuisance continues.

I don't see it as making a living but stealing and committing fraud disguised as a legal operation.I believe as I am sure you do that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and imprisoned for committing such acts.It's simple if you do not perform a service as promised you should not get paid.

I would agree that lenders and brokers that are deceptively using upfront fees (i.e. charged independent of closing) as a primary source of revenue and turning down loans even when lenders estimates are consistent with information submitted by the borrower prior to taking the fee, are acting unethically and should be fined and/or prosecuted for deceptive business practices etc.This post is only my personal opinion.

I'm sure you're right, I don't think a picture of someone smoking crack would be enough to prosecute someone.

In the CO announcement, they noted an agent that screwed someone out of a LOT of money and the case was referred for prosecution.
