Neighbors Who See Stabbing Kick Ass
Donna Larson, Mother of Four, Faked Her Death, Son's to Avoid Eviction
 |
 |
| Donna Larson managed to stave off eviction from her home from two years by faking her son's death, then her own |
She told Mephistopheles that her son had died while serving in the armed forces. She would resume her payments as soon as his death benefits policy paid off. So the bank granted her an extension.
But while her son indeed served his country, he was very much alive, which meant payment for his death benefits would be some time in coming. Still, this little bit of fraud allowed Donna to stave off foreclosure for another year.
In 2007, the devil finally foreclosed on her home. But Donna didn't move out. The bank moved to have her evicted. So she came up with another plan.
Se pretended to have retained a lawyer, then pretended to be that lawyer's assistant, faxing the judge a letter saying there had been a death in the lawyer's family, and he wouldn't be able to show up in court for quite some time.
This allowed her to string out eviction until 2008. In the meantime, Donna's financial position was getting worse. Health problems forced her out of her job and on to disability. And by May of 2008, she was close to getting tossed from the home.
So she came up with yet another plan. This time she had someone posing as a relative call the devil to say Donna had died. Would it be okay, the relative asked, if they could have some additional time to move Donna's stuff from the home?
In a rare case of mercy, the bank agreed to the delay. But it would soon find out that Donna wasn't quite yet dead. So Satan called the cops.
Last week, Donna was indicted on charges of larceny and perjury. But this is one case where we hope the bad guy doesn't go to jail.

@ Hyena Whatever floats your boat, "dude". Your opinion will have zero influence on my life, or on my political leanings. You can choose to discredite me if you want, if it makes you feel better. Once again, great pic Pete. It looks like it got the reaction you looked for. :D

NOT IN MASSACHUSETTS! No such thing as a lenient Judge anywhere in MA. We have a major overcrowding in our prisons and jails. And not many places for a female, much less an older female. She may go to a county jail if under 2 yrs or Bridgewater (due to her age/sex) One of the 3 judges where i live, 1 is an ex mayor of a next city over, 1 is an ex ME and the 3rd a ex-police commissionor from the next city over. Our judges are not voted in. and between the 3 they rotate between us and other city. For some reason we get the female ex-mayor all the time. And she is a hard ass!!! But this story happened in Eastern Ma (between boston and cape cod), Hopefullu she will get a good jury that can see what really happened without the Judge "forcing" decisions on them. OOPS, sorry. I will rephrase. Hopefully she will get a symaphic (no spell check sorry) jury and charge her not guilty.

It is a shame that we do not have a better way of handling matters like this, rather sentencing jail time to people who have hit hard times and do things of this sort. It isnt like she robbed the bank, she just couldnt afford payments on her mortgage and made up lies to keep the bank from taken away her house. Its understandable, and I feel sorry for her. I hope that she gets a lenient judge, and they can find a more appropriate punishment for her.

In massachusetts, there is a 85% Democrats, 13% republican and 2% liberal/rainbow parties. As most Democrats do, most vote for party not incumbant. Which is the same thing as saying "sending sheep to slaughter" (farming term) No one thinks for themselves anymore. They follow the leader. Same with the Republicians. The liberal/rainbow party is something that some are a little confused about. I honestly dont know very much about them except the past few incumbants were from Northampton and Provincetown. Sorry, trying to be policaly correct. They were a gay man and a gay woman. Not that their lifestyle interfers with mine, which it doesn't. Just dont under the platform they go under. So can't make a honest opinion. I refuse to vote for whoever happens to be a democrat. I normally would vote indepentant or not at all (for the presidental award that is) I know that i have no right to bitch or complain about our government aloud, if i don't exersis my right to vote. I have not seen anything good that Obama has done, or attempted to do. Nor have i seen any results of his promises. There are very few presidents that i can honestly say that i respect for fullfilling their "promises" or by their actions. And i have been through many of them since i was born

sorry ment to put your paragraph in quotes (i dont want anyone thinking that it was i who sad that)

Dont forget, his grandmother lives outside Boston and is NOT a citizen! And Obama is attempting to grant her some kind of waiver so she can stay here. Seeing as the INS want to deport her. and for your nosy information, Obama was here a week ago visiting his grandmother. I know this not from the papers or news, but AirForce 1 landed at a air force base in my city. and a call went out for extra security from Local cops. heard this on the scanner. Drove over and even got pics of AF1. There was a "news blackout" regarding the landing and taking off 4 hours later. I wasn't the only one there either. Almost everyone lives on one of the landing strip fly overs. Really what does this have to do with well anything! And again.. i'm not really believing the validity of a story without any shred of proof, you understand!
-
I didnt "censor" you! I would've if I could've but I can't so... your point isnt at all valid! You were slanderous not I. You have decided, even with facts in your face that the entire system of govenment is lying for Obama. That sounds alot like slander to me. And you must be stupid if you think that the FBI is investigating that at all! Even if they were... HE IS IN CHARGE OF THE FBI....(really)!? That just like saying that the newspaper published in Hawaii from decades ago which they (the FBI) do have copies of that announce his birth were/are in the "conspiracy" too. "You are an poor ill informed person. The news up here is that the Governor of Hawaii is either a family member or a family friend." You say that I am "a poorly ill informed person" (see it mean something different the way you wrote it) but where is proof that the Gov. is a close friend of the family and/or close family member. I said "close" because they could be related or have been known to have known one another in their lives.... but you have to be able to proof claims like that and you lady or no one else, have no such proof, at all! And even if you had proof of a closer relationship between those two people, you still havent proved anything! We normally agree, trust me, but this is the kind of SLANDER that disrupts this country! I mean do YOU REALLY THINK THAT HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY AND STILL MADE IT TO OFFICE! REALLY!

@ Sorandkairi: Who are you to censor what i have to say? And to slander me? What gives you the right to degrade me? or be verbally abusive? I stated my opinion and you decide because i don't agree with whatever you say or think that i'm a "angry old hag"? You are an poor ill informed person. The news up here is that the Governor of Hawaii is either a family member or a family friend. and the validaty of the birth certificate is still in question. Supposely, the FBI is investigating this and a few other people in attempting to find out the truth of Obama. Dont forget, his grandmother lives outside Boston and is NOT a citizen! And Obama is attempting to grant her some kind of waiver so she can stay here. Seeing as the INS want to deport her. and for your nosy information, Obama was here a week ago visiting his grandmother. I know this not from the papers or news, but AirForce 1 landed at a air force base in my city. and a call went out for extra security from Local cops. heard this on the scanner. Drove over and even got pics of AF1. There was a "news blackout" regarding the landing and taking off 4 hours later. I wasn't the only one there either. Almost everyone lives on one of the landing strip fly overs. So there! Smart ass.

@ angry grandma said I am a democrat. I DID NOT vote for Obama. i (and a bout 1999 other people) wrote in a vote for Mickey Mouse! It was a big "joke" here. Seeing as we are a perdomiately democrate state. He is not a citizen of America. he has NO birth certificate (other then the fake one from hawaii). And he does not believe in our constitution that says "In God we Trust" which is why he is attempting to have it removed from our money and from our laws. And he should not be in our highest powerful seat. Nothing about his race is a facter. he could be skyblue pink with dots and unless he is a born american, he shouldn't be where he is. and i agree he is trying to overcome what was left for him. But he still has his crap as well. Look at the Gulf! I'm sure such as Bush, Obama has his hands into the oil as well! I thought he said he was bringing our soldiers home? Well not only has he NOT done that, he is sending more out there. I have 2 nephews who just deployed for 18 months to Iraq. WHY? One Word... retarded.... even the Governor of Hawaii has the seen the birth certificate, and guess what, the Governor is a (gasp) Republician! http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-07-27-obama-hawaii_n.htm http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/28/hawaii-declares-obama-birth-certificate-real/ For real, stfu u old angry hag! People like you end up on the "tales of stupidity" that we all "love" to read about! @HyenaKiller This is by far the most posts that i have ever seen from you,.... it sucks that they are all so ill-imformed! The situation can not be blaimed on just one party it Rep or Demo. The systems sucked...plan and simple... hopefully now since the American people have started to actually pay attention to it instead of just "letting someone else handle it" maybe progress will proceed, if not back to the status quo we go!

@Dude If pretending you are not a liberal scumbag somehow gives you credibility then you are sorely mistaken. It is obvious by your rhetoric that you are. If you had a half a brain you would know that it was the DEMOCRATS that forced the banks to lend money to high risk applicants. You would also know that Republicans like McCain (who I loathe) pushed for tougher oversights of Fannie and Freddie but were demonized by the likes of Barney the slobbering Frank and Maxine Waters for not having a heart. Even BUSH pushed for more restrictions on lending to high risk borrowers. You may not like the truth, but it does not change it nevertheless.

"will most definately NOT make you the..." :D

"Washingotn Times" not Post.

Oooh ohhh I wan't to play too! i have a college degree, in fact I have multiple. I also have a Masters in Business Admin. Now, I am far from a "democrat" or a "republican". I am an independent. I research pretty much everything before making a judgment call on it, I will not rely on a single source. Now we get to Washington Post - VERY biased. In fact Larry is correct when he says it is more biased the Faux News. So if you wan't to come across as an intelligent debater who ahs looked at all the facts, you can not have your cake and eat it too. This was not created by Democrats, if anything the whole thing ballooned under the Bush administration. If you think voting "Republican" and attempting to smear "Democrats" gives you some sort of high ground, your probably a far right-wing lunatic, or a racist birther who still think's Obama is not a legit POTUS. Some people would call you out for treason, for bad mouthing the leader of our beatifull country which such vile hate. Voting one party only, and throwing mud at the other side, will most definately make you the holder of truth, or even "facts". If you blindly despise one half of this country, while trumpeting on your high horse, you are exactly what is holding this country back from more transparent, and effective politics. You stick to cliche's and lies (Obama is not legit, Democrats are socialist/commies, Bush is the spawn of Satan, all Republicans are greedy/selfish bastards etc. etc.) and extreme view points and you will be laughed at, not taken seriously, by anyone with a brain. Fuck you partisan assholes. Is it too much to ask for you to actually utilize your brain? If you think the other side is inherently evil r want this country to fail, you are an imbecil of the biggest magnitude. If you think Obama's birth-certificate is fake, your a fucking moron. Your right, freedom is not free or atleast not without a a cost. However sometimes it's hard to accept you fight for the freedoms of such imbecils, who see the world simply as black and white. Now run off an go watch Glen Beck or something.

I read the article and I noticed that Clinton- a DEMOCRAT- had advised regulating these 2 entities. So it really isn't a democratic issue, rather than your standard corrupt officials issue. The corrupt exist on both sides, as I believe we all know. Furthermore, when we think about which party, historically, is known for favoring government regulation, it's fair to say that it would be the democrats who hold such a distinction.
-
Larry, Larry, Larry, If being your version of an "intellectual" is right, I want to be wrong. What is with liberals and their use of this word? The only intellectuals they accept are the ones that spout the same failed ideas they embrace. Intellectual, hmm, well I am a college graduate, and I am intelligent, so I guess that would fit the description. But, like I said, if that I means I have to think like you, I don't want ANY part of it... Freedom is not free, it means fighting idiots like Larry every day.

Hey alexa kim-AAAAHHAHHAHHA!!! that's way too phunny hehehe
-
Larry I'll take that as a no, you'll be busy for a while. Lol..........
-
Larry, do you have the link to The Washington Times?
-
@Larry, lover boy, oh my goodness I have missed you so! Get that thong off your head and get into bed right this second. I've got a paddle with your name on it sweetums *rawr*!
-
Oh, so Alexa Kim is a moonie! The Washington Times, a neo-fascist newspaper, was founded by and has been extremely heavily subsidized by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, a loonie and criminal who believes he is the Messiah and has said that he will use the Washington Times as his "instrument of truth." The paper rewards its writers and editors for bending stories in order to give them a rightwing slant. That's even worse than what Fox "News" does. One example of that would be blaming Democrats for the housing bust, when of course it was Bush and his cronies who destroyed the country's economy by letting the banks do whatever they wanted with the housing market ... "Make securities out of SUB_PRIME mortages? Invest heavily in them so that the American taxpayer will have to bail you out when they are proven worthless? SURE GO AHEAD! That's certainly safe and sound banking practice!" But look, Alexa Kim is on solid ground on this one -- she's got that noted intellectual, HyenaKiller, on her side. ;-) Anyway, this is just one more thread that's been infected by the Alexa Kim virus. Three comments in _one thread_? Just checked another thread and she had around _seven_ comments out of a total of thirty. I think we should chip in and buy Alexa Kim a life. Or maybe ask the Reverend Moon to get one for her! It came out of nowhere, this Alexa Kim virus. I check in here periodically, and I did a few weeks ago and suddenly half the comments were from her. Kind of sad really. Who would have the time to post SEVEN COMMENTS in a thread about two guys who raped their cousin (or whatever)? I mean seriously.

She is impossible! Saying your son is dead then herself...obviously mental issues....or is that yet another way of her getting out of this ordeal now...Hmmmm

@possum, please read the Washington Times article, a link to which I posted above. HyenaKiller is a gentleman.
-
Possum, I am not a low down dirty stinking liberal. I have brains, and I know how to do research. You on the other hand are a useful idiot with no ability to think for himself; so continue being a puppet with no brains... You may try Google if you want the truth. I won't do your work for you... Jerk...
-
HyenaKiller, you are are moron, that is undisputable. That's about it. Maybe you should stop getting your "facts" from Fox News...Just a thought.
-
Go ahead obamatards, keep your heads up you know where. The FACT is the DEMOCRATS are to blame. This is INDISPUTABLE.
-
I'm with Eddy too on this one. All it takes is one asshole to screw it up for someone who deserves the help.
-
Well said Eddy and Trace. PS., Great pic Pete! ;)
-
I feel bad for her, but I totally agree with Eddy... And Trace
-
Wow this woman was surely inventive.
-
Thats smart, blame the democrats for the housing problem. Obama may not be doing a bang up job but he inherited this piece of crap from Bush. Bush screwed up the market. Bush screwed up the country. And everybody knows, good or bad, whaever the president before you did takes 4 years to recover from, or four years to enjoy. Suck on that
-
I'm going to be the right ol' b****rd on this one. This is why the banks are complete a$$holes to a lot of other people. This bank will likely (and justifiably) be very reluctant to work with other homeowners in granting an extension. What happens if there is a family that has lost a son/husband in the war? An extension might be granted but probably not until after they "research" the claim by which time the foreclosure/eviction has already taken place due to an "administrative error". This lady needs to give her head a shake, lots of other people have been in the similar situation and they handle it like adults. They are pissed that they are foreclosed and evicted but they fight it legally and in a way that does not harm their neighbours.
-
I do have to tip my hat to her resourcefulness, I'll give her that. But I think any time someone has health issues, the mortgage should just automatically be renegotiated to a temporary hardship level, so the bank keeps getting paid, she stays in the house and the medical issues can be faced without the additional stress of worrying about a roof over her head.
-
LOL - I was thinking the same thing Hyena. The "artwork" looks almost like a consignment order. It is missing the truly responsible bad actors: Barney Frank, Franklin Raines (former CEO of Fannie Mae when it tanked and started this whole avalanche), Herb Moses, et al.). http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/may/10/in-bed-with-fannie-and-freddie/
-
Catch twenty-two for the kind hearted...naturally you feel bad for someone in that position who's forced into a corner with no real choices BUT, were there really no other choices? Did she try and find financial help from ANYBODY before she went to the extent that she did? Either way....it's crappy and people with valid and documented health issues should be handled with a little more compassion and patience.
-
I can't help but think that you put that picture up just for me. But you know, and I know that the picture should be of Barney Frank, or Obama... The DemoNcrats are the reason for the housing crisis. This is a known fact to anyone that has been paying attention... Nice try though
-
that's a hard one, you feel sry for her but at the same time faking your sons death...I don't know if I was her son I'd be too happy about my mom telling ppl I died just to get out of fore closer. Still its really sad how many ppl have come to doing these sorts of things just to keep their homes.
