Mortgage & Loan: Mortgage Fraud Turns Violent

If you want a perfect example of how dangerous the housing market can really be, check out the story of John Mattes, the Fox News reporter who caught a beatdown from shady (and apparently no longer licensed) "real estate broker" Assan Sulemain.

It's even got identity theft for the win!

Here's the video itself, courtesy of YouTube. WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, CURSING, AND LOTS OF RAMPANT STUPIDITY. IF ANY OF THIS OFFENDS YOU, DO NOT CLICK "PLAY."

The only thing more offensive than the idea that those two chuckleheads thinking they could defraud homeowners out of millions, beat a reporter down on camera, and get away with it, are some of the idiot comments in the YouTube thread. H.L. Mencken is spinning in his grave.

Can't wait to hear what the San Diego-area bubble bloggers have to say about this....
