I was just looking in the articles for something that said they (reporters) had tried to get a statement or researched mortgage business ownership records or loan officers for names that might come up repeatedly or for C&C connections. Even the usual "SunTrust could not be reached for comment by the time this story went to press." And not in the r.e. biz makes me wonder why they just didn't make the initial loans to themselves through Tower Lending or why can't Crisp bail out with his billion dollar letter of credit. I commend the reporters for laying it all out in front of us and working so hard to meet deadlines with limited resources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-17963187615110541072007-09-24T13:08:00.000-07:002007-09-24T13:08:00.000-07:00Fourth Estate Fourth AmendmentFourth Estate <=> Fourth AmendmentRaynorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097634198680623901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-11679079630850746982007-09-24T10:19:00.000-07:002007-09-24T10:19:00.000-07:00I am surprised by how many people on this blog thi...I am surprised by how many people on this blog think that all these firms are just dying to talk to the media. Yeah, there probably are ties to Crisp (other then the obvious one that they did business with him).<BR/><BR/>Why do you think the mtg firms would talk to the BC? I sure as hell wouldn't even if I was clean. Right now any firm would have to show that they made really bad, if legal, loans. I would keep a tight lid on all my files unless the person at the door was a FBI agent with a warrant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-82462816539896343642007-09-24T07:39:00.000-07:002007-09-24T07:39:00.000-07:00Yes anon.

To be any good at investigative reporting, you have got to "connect the dots".<BR/><BR/>This means start looking for things that repeat, names, patterns, in short think outside the box. <BR/><BR/>You start by doing the doc's though. Thats when these things will appear to you. It seems to me the "reporters" are just now starting to do this. <BR/><BR/>You don't learn real investigative reporting by talking high school football (unless its about steroid use - hint, hint - another story?).Raynorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097634198680623901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-51727048008260532392007-09-23T19:45:00.000-07:002007-09-23T19:45:00.000-07:00I saw the piece in Sat's Californian that shows th...I saw the piece in Sat's Californian that shows the (known) extent of the C&C web but I didn't see any fresh info - like comments from some of these mtg companies or if they also have ties to Crisp.

First of all he was not arrest on anything to do with real estate. This cracks me up how he (anonymous) would like to bring something that happened over a year ago that was not or may not have been at all for Jayson Costa. Nothing was HUSH HUSH they took there fine a dealt with it. Secondly the (president) did not so called leave his own company for a bad reason. American Star was not just his company there are 2 other people involved so don’t make it out like it was a bad thing, because it is not. Did it ever cross your little minds that maybe he just did not want to work for such a large company or maybe the broker is a 2 faced, bull shitting, fake church goers- That nobody can stand! Secondly who really cares if there is 3, 5, 7 series BMW there are someone low income driving the 3 AND. For that person that wrote this if you were in the building then you are a trader and should not run you mouth like that. Don’t get me wrong that I think they all have it coming for all the fraud. So we are still sitting here talking about the Costa’s, Crisp & Cole’s, but what about those that are still doing loan. David Siador, Lupe Ramirez (realtor) I am sure that there is a long list not to mention there so called knew president of AM STAR ( !!!!!) she enables these Loan Officers and show’s them how to get away with fraud. This is why our media does not go off of every little post there is because it is a lot of rumors.<BR/><BR/><BR/>~~~<BR/><BR/>Thank you for that well thought out, proofed, grammatically correct rant.

The power of the subpoena is very powerful and will uncover facts not available through public agencies. Even if entities cease to operate, every entity involved in your real estate transaction, either directly or indirectly, had insurance at the time of your purchase and could still be liable for damages.<BR/><BR/>Start with your agent, your broker, and your appraiser. From there, use the power of the subpoena to bring in the agents, brokers, and appraisers who were involved in transactions in your area which were inflated by Crisp & Cole criminal activities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-26821905855748829602007-09-20T13:12:00.000-07:002007-09-20T13:12:00.000-07:00ANY HOME BUYER who purchased at values which were ...ANY HOME BUYER who purchased at values which were inflated by fraudulent C&C "comps" should be pursuing legal recourse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-27238386130769419662007-09-20T13:08:00.000-07:002007-09-20T13:08:00.000-07:00Gretchen,Fantastic, and I look forward to your pie...Gretchen,<BR/>Fantastic, and I look forward to your piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33255068.post-76147813180752147622007-09-20T13:01:00.000-07:002007-09-20T13:01:00.000-07:00Anon-Those properties are all on our spreadsheet. ...Anon-<BR/><BR/>Those properties are all on our spreadsheet.
