Infamous Real Estate Investor Casey Serin Puts His Web Domain On Ebay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of you might remember Casey Serin from a few years ago – a young man who watched too many late night infomercials and bought too many courses from gurus who taught the so-called “secrets” of making the big bucks in real estate – a young man who ventured out and purchased and eventually lost<\/em> some eighteen or so homes, many of them to foreclosure. He went from zero to negative hundreds of thousands of dollars in no time flat.<\/p>\n

Casey was quite the character with his online accounts of his impending doom on his blog Iamfacingforeclosure.com – a blog where he chronicled his dealings on selling his houses by short sale before the lenders foreclosed on them – to an audience of not-always-so-adoring fans who would post some rather scathing comments on his blog with great regularity. His day-to-day existence was a source of vicarious pleasure for many – a lot like witnessing a train wreck in slow motion.<\/p>\n

His blog provided such a detailed account of his obvious repeated instances of mortgage fraud that it ultimately had to come down, it was just a matter of time.\u00a0 Oh there’s much more to that story – you can Google it – and to be honest, I’ve forgotten the bulk of it already. Honestly, I thought Casey was off the stage. For good. Forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He has gone through some various machinations chronicled in Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a> – and his last gasp of public persona might be the sale of the domain that he set up ostensibly to blog about penny stocks, as evidenced by his listing on Ebay<\/strong><\/a>. I guess when you’re no longer detailing your crimes in real-time, nobody really cares anymore.<\/p>\n

Casey’s tale of woe was the type of a story that needed a Howard Beal kind of crescendo and ending – perhaps streaming video of the Feds breaking into his apartment to take him away Elian Gonzalez-style, or something else equally as riveting and bizarre.<\/p>\n

No, it’s finally over for Casey. He rode that pony of fame for all that it was worth – Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
