From wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Casey Konstantin Serin<\/strong> (born September 10<\/a>, 1982<\/a> in Tashkent<\/a>, Uzbekistan<\/a>) is a former real estate<\/a> speculator<\/a> and blogger<\/a>. In a newspaper article, USA Today<\/a><\/em> called him the "poster child<\/a> for everything that went wrong in the real estate boom".[1]<\/a><\/sup> Serin immigrated to America<\/a> in 1994. In his early twenties, Serin worked as a web developer<\/a>, but then decided to quit this job to pursue his dream of becoming financially independent through real estate investments. Beginning in October 2005 and continuing through the following year, Serin purchased eight houses in four southwest U.S. states, and then began blogging about the foreclosure<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/sup> process on the properties he was unable to resell. In time, six of the eight properties foreclosed.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

As for his real estate investments, Serin acknowledged to the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a><\/em> that "the stuff I did is technically mortgage fraud<\/a>, but it’s not officially called that until someone prosecutes me and proves that that is indeed mortgage fraud," [4]<\/a><\/sup> asserting a presumption of innocence<\/a>. On the Jon Ronson<\/a> show, Serin confirmed his use of so-called "liar loans<\/a>".[5]<\/a><\/sup> On July 11, 2007, Serin disclosed that he was under investigation by the FBI<\/a>.[6]<\/a><\/sup>. In an interview conducted by ABC News, his attorney reported that Casey Serin is under investigation by the FBI, but "no charges have been brought against Mr. Serin. However, based upon conversations with the U.S. attorney’s office in California, federal charges related to Mr. Serin’s real estate transactions are expected to be brought against him" [7]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

After staying offline for a few months, Casey Serin has resurfaced as a partner of Damion Lupo (author of Maverick Mistakes in Real Estate<\/em>) on ForeclosureHelpBook.com<\/a>. This partnership dissolved in October 2007. Casey resurfaced with a new blog, EscapeMyHouse.com<\/a>, which was taken offline in November 2007. He most recently (January 29, 2008) started and then stopped a blog based on his information on gold stocks, most specifically GoldSpring (GSPG) called MillionaireByChristmas.com<\/a>. This site has gone thru numerous edits, some within minutes. His latest blog TrueCasey.com<\/a> continues themes from his previous blogs, including publishing a foreclosure book and detailing his investment into GoldSpring.<\/p>\n

palestine4ever:  Hey Luke
\npalestine4ever:  I still get no video here.
\npalestine4ever:  Which is, of course, in keeping with the prohibition against graven images
\npalestine4ever:  So for once I feel more holy than you are.
\npalestine4ever:  I must admit…
\npalestine4ever:  It’s kind of scary that you could out an anonymous jewgirl with just 1 blog post to go on.
\nYourMoralLeader:  my powers of investigative journalism scare even me
\npalestine4ever:  Just remember: use them only for good.
\nYourMoralLeader:  how are the jews treating you?
\npalestine4ever:  Eh, you know
\npalestine4ever:  Always trying to keep a brother down.
\npalestine4ever:  I must admit, I’ve been cheating on you.
\npalestine4ever:  Once Casey Serin began blogging again, I just couldn’t resist.
\npalestine4ever:  I can’t help but to wonder what would happen if the two of you were in the same room.
\npalestine4ever:  It’d be unholy, like flying a kite at night.
\npalestine4ever:  caseypedia.com = about him, truecasey.com = his new blog
\npalestine4ever:  Yes, there’s an entire wiki devoted to him
\npalestine4ever:  and of course, i thought of creating lukepedia.com myself
\npalestine4ever:  but it would be nicer than that
\npalestine4ever:  hay wait
\npalestine4ever:  Casey lives in Sacramento
\npalestine4ever:  he’s part of some weird baptist russian community
\npalestine4ever:  i bet you two would get along great
\npalestine4ever:  except for the urge you’d have to punch him every few minutes
\nYourMoralLeader:  I am not a crook
\npalestine4ever:  but you’re both vegetarians too
\npalestine4ever:  you could have smoothies and talk about being bloggers
\npalestine4ever:  it’d be like the old days with Matt and Emmanuelle, only with a 26 year old boi with a murse rather than a hot chick and her intelligent husband<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
