    Collier County, Florida -- Have you heard the one about a homeowner foreclosing on a bank?

    Well, it has happened in Florida and involves a North Carolina based bank.

    Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on some Florida homeowner, the homeowners had sheriff's deputies foreclose on the bank.

    It started five months ago when Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on the home of a couple, who didn't owe a dime on their home.

    The couple said they paid cash for the house.

    The case went to court and the homeowners were able to prove they didn't owe Bank of America anything on the house. In fact, it was proven that the couple never even had a mortgage bill to pay.

    A Collier County Judge agreed and after the hearing, Bank of America was ordered, by the court to pay the legal fees of the homeowners', Maurenn Nyergers and her husband.

    The Judge said the bank wrongfully tried to foreclose on the Nyergers' house.

    So, how did it end with bank being foreclosed on? After more than 5 months of the judge's ruling, the bank still hadn't paid the legal fees, and the homeowner's attorney did exactly what the bank tried to do to the homeowners. He seized the bank's assets.

    love it

    don't know if its related or not but 60 minutes ran a piece a while back on the thousands of mortgage papers that went missing and were recreated / fraudulently signed because of the number of credit default swaps that went on.

    I sense an opportunity to appeal to widespread and growing populist sentiments.

    I'm often uncomfortable with populist sentiment, but when it comes to this "oops we lost the paperwork" shit, I say nail them to the fucking wall.

    The Venn diagrams of justified anger and populism sometimes overlap.

    "After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees."

    I'm no legal expert, but couldn't the family get punitive damages awarded too?
