You just know a bunch of would-be players watched this over and over and thought by committing mortgage fraud and flipping homes they could be Bud Fox

And now, penniless and with no more access to credit, they're going back to being bartenders, car salesmen and call center jockeys, and hoping the government never does get around to prosecuting mortgage fraud and tax evasion.

Make it a HousingPANIC movie night - Boiler Room, Glengarry Glen Ross and Wall Street

We've been here before, and we'll be here again.

It's called greed. Makes people do crazy, evil things for a buck.

Got popcorn?
