Where there is smoke, there is fire.  This should not surprise anyone, as Southstar had just switched investors, changed loan programs, and "reassured" their clients that they were well funded.

I liked them and thoght they had a good business model.

Its the survival of the fittest and smartest. A paper lenders and other lenders who had tougher guidelines are the ones who are currently flourishing during this time :)
