Top Wal*Street Law Firm Throws Homeless-Themed Halloween Party

[Bible Studies with Satan]

Something you'll never watch on Fox News.

A New York Times opinion column from Joe Nocera out on Saturday tells the story
of last year’s Halloween Party at the law firm called Steven J. Baum, a
practice outside Buffalo that the column refers to as a “foreclosure mill.” The
firm thought that they would celebrate last Halloween by throwing a
homeless-themed party, complete with the staff dressing costumes that made them
look destitute and signs describing the various faux problems their characters
had. One sign seems to read “Will Worke For Food [sic]” and photos show part of
an office named “Baum Estates.”

You can see all the pictures that accompany the column here.

The pictures were sent to Nocera by a former employee of the firm. Nocera
described their conversation like this:

When we spoke later, she added that the snapshots are an accurate representation
of the firm’s mind-set. “There is this really cavalier attitude,” she said. “It
doesn’t matter that people are going to lose their homes.” Nor does the firm
try to help people get mortgage modifications; the pressure, always, is to
foreclose.

Nocera also got in touch with the firm to ask about the pictures and the party,
which sent him a statement and attacked the paper.

“It has been suggested that some employees dress in … attire that mocks or
attempts to belittle the plight of those who have lost their homes,” the
statement read. “Nothing could be further from the truth.” It described this
column as “another attempt by The New York Times to attack our firm and our
work.”

The column also notes that the firm has been under investigation by the New York
Attorney General’s Office and recently paid $2 million to settle a US
Department of Justice investigation.

Summary: A classic usenet zoo monkey. Liars, once they have been
exposed, frequently revert to behavior most similar to a zoo monkey
who sits in the cage throwing feces at passersby but saying nothing of
value. Note that when you reply to a Proven Liar you encourage them to
continue lying.

Oops! Caught Lying:

"Republican opposition to a deal of that size continued to harden
Sunday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said on �Fox News
Sunday� that a large-scale deal is off the table, since the GOP could
not accept the tax increases envisioned by the president.

�Everything they told me and the speaker is that to get a big package
would require big tax increases in the middle of an economic situation
that�s extraordinarily difficult, with 9.2 percent unemployment. We
think it�s a terrible idea. It�s a job-killer,� McConnell said."
