So even in and of itself, you can see how ludicrous this operation was--just going through a robo- list of names, signing documents, and putting people out of their homes, when in reality, they were there living in them and should not have been foreclosed on. Many of these behaviors have been described by my colleagues, and I hope that we get to the bottom of this issue.
