When Countrywide and Ameriquest were punished, it did not phase them at all.

Try being in charge of a strong willed child with no ability to reward or punish...it's a tough situation.

To me these are the worst crooks and should get the worst punishment.

But, I feel I am punishing other family members who are not guilty of causing any problems.

The punishment didn't seem right to me at the time.

If this is HUD, he is falsifying documents (that he has to sign at closing) and it is punishable by a fine of $250,000 and prison time of 2 years.Is that worth the money he's saving?

What a goof-ball state.And 475.42 states that the penalty for violating the law (say, if you did buy your own property) is 'a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083'.http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?

It is hard for me to believe that if one bent over backwards and required all of this prior to accepting investment dollars that they'd be facing stiff punishments.

I think bad agent like this should get punished.

Please bear with me.The thought of "rent credits" should be wipped out of mind, the words never spoken, the concept forgotten and there should be punishment for even thinking in those terms....
