"Money Store" Scam Victims Also To Blame, Defense Attorney Says; Indecipherable HUD-1s Understandable Only By A Mathematician, Counters Judge
- In federal court on Friday, an attorney for one of the title companies named in the civil suit told Judge Roger Titus that the victims were guilty of contributory negligence -- that they in essence, were also to blame. This infuriated Angele Reid of Oxon Hill, who sat in on the motions hearing.
- "I was really ready to strangle him," Reid said. "Because if you look at the documents, even a real estate attorney would have difficulty figuring out that something was going wrong." Federal Judge Roger Titus seemed to agree, pointing out that the federal forms known as HUD-1's were indecipherable. At one point Titus said only a mathematician could understand them.
