Foreclosure mess update: Why this is important

Barry Ritholtz clearly explains why this foreclosure mess is so important and how all the cutting of corners by the loan servicing organization has gotten completely out of control.

I could try to paraphrase it but you really must read it ALL to understand why this scandal is more than just some 'goofed up paperwork'
