Inducing people to overpay for houses, which will then be magically recouped by more people overpaying even more for those same houses, while actually he gives the $ to the crony capitalists and lemon socialists at the biggest banks?

This victim borrowed money against his home in order to invest with Ms. Gallardo." lol
