“Mr. Nocera — You have destroyed everything and everyone related to Steven J. Baum PC. It took 40 years to build this firm and three weeks to tear down.”

Thus began a lengthy e-mail that I received, on Thursday evening, from Steven J. Baum, the owner of his eponymous law firm, the largest “foreclosure mill” in New York State. Foreclosure mills, of course, are firms that represent banks and servicers trying to foreclose on the millions of homeowners who have defaulted since the housing bubble burst.

This article by Joe Nocera was particularly sweet to behold. I read it twice, just to feel that lovely glow again: An UGLY foreclosure mill gets destroyed by JUSTICE. We don't see enough of it, so when it happens, it's relished. Thank you Joe Nocera for sharing it with the nation. It gives us all a little hope that if we live long enough, we will see some justice.
Maybe we should all stage a nice Halloween party where we all dress up like the soon-to-be unemployed Steven J. Baum employees. It would actually look a LOT like the one they had there at their firm with our homeless signs... Ah the sweet irony. I hope they kept their costumes, they can reuse them now, FOR REAL.
