Wow, indeed. I love that the article mentions NOTHING about the notary who would have had to have been complicit in this, too.

We only have this:

"He said he would glance at the borrower's names, the debt owed and a few other numbers but would not read through all the documents as legally required. He would then sign them. The files were packed up in bulk and sent off for notarization several days later."


Sent off for notarization? WHAT??
