These folks would find themselves
their own "circle":
Florida authorities are investigating the law offices of David J. Stern over how it handled foreclosure paperwork. As the AP notes, Cheryl Salmons, an office manager at the law offices of David Stern, "would sign 500 files in the morning and another 500 files in the afternoon without reviewing them and with no witnesses," according to Kelly Scott, a former assistant at the firm.
The perks for good performance were considerable, according to Scott's statement. Tampa Online notes office employees were lavished with gifts:
"As a perk of Samons' [sic.] job, Stern's office would routinely pay her personal mortgage, a car payment, her electric bills and her cell phone bill, according to Scott, who told investigators Stern also bought Samons [sic.] a new BMW sport utility vehicle every year and gave her and other employees jewelry. Additionally, Stern purchased employee David Vargas a house, a car and a cell phone, Scott claims in her statement."

Since manufacturing has been mostly outsourced in this country, it's more than a bit ironic that the law has been turned into an assembly line operation....
....but they had to supply their own pens.
it would be truly ironic if those folks who were getting their mortgages paid by Stern's law firm for signing fraudulent documents found themselves in foreclosure hell at the hands of another foreclosure mill.
and no, I'd not feel a bit sorry for them... they all knew that they were stealing people's homes out from under them, and they chose to do it anyway.

Forget hell. I'd settle for a functioning legal system.
