The story hit the New York Times a day later, after one of the more human employees emailed columnist Joe Nocera with snapshots that she felt "showed an appalling lack of compassion toward the homeowners that the Baum firm had brought foreclosure proceedings against."
In addition, this one lone angel, who obviously has opted to remain anonymous as per her own safety, provided the following assessment of her firm's behavior:
"There is this really cavalier attitude. It doesn’t matter that people are going to lose their homes."
It appears, in fact, that the only principle Steven J. Baum values is the procurement of profit at any and all costs, as the firm has a track record for filing misleading pleadings, affidavits and mortgage assignments on behalf of its lender clients, as well as pursuing questionable foreclosures against families who were eligible for mortgage modifications.
I would continue, but I am speechless, for not even in the most morbid horror film have I ever encountered such inhuman depravity. Admittedly, it is a picture perfect portrait of all that is wrong with corporate America and the fools who blindly follow them.
