Eliseo Guardado came to the United States in search of his own American Dream. But after he bought his home in a Maryland suburb in 2006, his dream quickly became a nightmare. Long Beach Mortgage, a subsidiary of Washington Mutual, put him in a loan that he could not afford. The story of this one bad loan helps tell a bigger tale- how fraud in the loan process was at the center of the largest bank failure in American history.
Yea .. we don't need Federal regulations as we can see the Banks & Morgage companies police themselves .. (laughs).

@imah8ter07 No, they didn't force him into the loan. Their dealings with him were fraudulent, but not physically forceful.

@RyanTheIncredulous So, they forced him in to this loan?

@imah8ter07 The banks knowingly and PURPOSEFULLY gave loans to people they specifically knew could not pay off the debt to create their debt packages. Is that clear for you now?

@gbhobson The problem is, everyone needs to be an expert in economics to invest or have a law degree to understand a contract these days. Desperate or uninformed people can and will be exploited if the laws allow.

While idiots committed fraud to get as much debt as they could I saved hard. Now my savings are being stolen to pay the people that committed fraud via the low interest rates. Also my take home salary is being taxed more. What kind of lesson does this send out?
