Today is Black Friday and thousands of Americans have descended (and likely still are) on department stores and shops around the country. Someone out there got me an early gift and I feel like there is some justice in the world. Actually, it was several someones. Remember the law firm of Steven J. Baum and Associates?
Say buh-bye!!
Apparently all the recent press hasn't been good for his business and now they are through. Normally, I wouldn't do an end zone celebration dance for people going out of business but this whole company deserved exactly what they got, especially Mr. Baum. Have they learned their lesson? Based on the letter Mr. Baum sent to Joe Nocera, the New York Times columnist who published the photos of the company Halloween party in which people dressed up like the people they robo-foreclosed, it appears they have not.
Disrupting the livelihoods of so many dedicated and hardworking people is extremely painful, but the loss of so much business left us no choice but to file these notices. 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.
So, it's Nocera's fault that Baum was a duplicitous foreclosure mill and had the Halloween Party? I love Joe's reply.
I think that’s what they call shooting the messenger.
I hope this whole affair will make some people in the financial sector think twice about how they do business. This is what happens when you go to far.

Funny how that corporation couldn't force the NYT to do its bidding. That the impersonal and amoral market for that company's service just disappeared - all without the govt passing a single regulation.
As I have said many times, juris, I'm happy to be wrong. If we see more examples like this, I would relish the opportunity to admit I was wrong over and over again:)
I gotta say that those people at that firm look like dicks...and life usually takes care of people like that.
