The Robo Con

"You’ve done an excellent job of telling the story of the loss of the family home of Sandra Hines of Detroit through The Robo Con..  [It] took me back to that electric moment in December of 2010 when she testified before the House Judiciary Committee.  Many of us on that panel with her were stunned by the intensity of her testimony and the honest tragedy of her story... There was hope that, through the public tellings of the tragic stories of people like [her], things would get better, that Congress would do more to help the little guys stand up to the big banks...  the foreclosures continued on and still go on...  and big banks like Wells Fargo go on preying upon American consumers.  I hope that your... re-telling of [her] story will shine the light again on the predatory business model of America’s financial institutions.  Thank you for this excellent piece of work."

"The Robo Con is tightly researched and well argued.  It takes an issue that has been framed as a matter of personal poor or greedy choices and made clear the policies that allowed so many people to be caught up in a process designed for the powerful.  Thank you for this clear-eyed reminder which is greatly needed as we look to 2020 and beyond."
