Remember that foreclosure mill that had the homeless themed party for Halloween a year ago? Broke and laying people off

"A law firm that had become a lightning rod in the controversy over mortgage-foreclosure practices has shut down, costing 89 employees their jobs.

The Steven J. Baum P.C. law firm, which has offices in Amherst, N.Y., and Westbury, N.Y., has filed papers with government agencies notifying them that it plans to close. It made the filings under a federal law requiring employers to provide notice before mass layoffs.

...."

Happy Thanksgiving, worker bees. Not really a surprise. Sad for the employees, up to a point. That party last year was a bit of twisted humor by the top rats, I think. Sort of a dress rehearsal?

    • There are always predators and those who help them for a bit of the scraps the predators leave behind. All of them belong in jail, plain and simple. They are criminals

    • What goes around comes around. Yeah, it's the worker bees who will pay the biggest price, but they sure thought it was a hoot when they were doing it, didn't they? It isn't a laughing matter when you could be the next person affected.

    • And the thick headed boss blames the journo who exposed that callous little party.

      "On Saturday, Joe Nocera, The Times columnist who originally wrote about the firm’s Halloween party, published another column about the controversy. In it, he quoted an e-mail that Mr. Baum had sent him last week.

      “Mr. Nocera — You have destroyed everything and everyone related to Steven J. Baum PC,” said the letter. “It took 40 years to build this firm and three weeks to tear down.”

      “I think that’s what they call shooting the messenger,” Mr. Nocera wrote."
