Notorious debtor Casey Serin shuts down blog

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with House 2 Home Realty

 Did you hear?  Had you been following this train wreck yourselves?  I certainly did for a while.  He was known as the most hated blogger on the web.  And now he is gone.  Poof.  If you type iamfacingforeclosure.com into your browser, you get a very clean looking white screen...that's it.

I don't know, all that work...all these months...gone.  I really hope he is going to get himself a decent job, pay the bills, pay society back, lenders, make amends with his wife. 

Thoughts???

Wow - I never heard about this before but it sounds like he and his followers need to get a life and somewhere beneficial to spend their time.

Hopefully he grew up enough to get on with his life! Maybe his Mom got a hold of him (that man was too immature to be responsible for a wife!)--twisted his ear and got him either committed or working!!! Wives may put up with that but believe you me, that doesn't fly with Moms---it sounds too much like a spoilt 9 year old.

I never heard of him either.  I am sure that there will be copy cats.

I followed this for a while as well. I mentioned it a few times in my weekly podcast as a great cautionary tale. Whats funny is that if he kept the site going and stuck to documenting his experience, he could have turned it into a money making proposition. Unless that is what is happening right now - if he did get a book deal or some other offer, they might have wanted him to take the site down - temporarily or otherwise.

Heard of the guy, read some of his blogs but I didn't follow him that much.  Maybe he didn't make his payment to his internet service provider?

Eveline, I had never heard of him either.  Now I'm interested.  Can you imagine if what Robert says is true?  Maybe he did make some serious money from this.  hmmm!

Eveline,

Not familiar with him, but evidently one of these niche players on the web trying to make a buck. Since this angle didn't work for him, he could soon return with a new approach.

This guy many times was at the top (or near) on blogtopsites. Circus sideshows always get the most lookers. Mike C

Casey's book deal is so good that he's paying for it . Literally Sigh. Those of us who follow his site are really just waiting for the feds to show up
