Fractals of Deception: Odyssey of a Great Recession Fall Girl in Bloomington, MN

The government tricked their investors, banks tricked the government, brokers tricked banks and borrowers tricked the brokers. Although everyone was willfully complicit in this multifaceted slight-of-hand when it crumbled only a handful of people went to prison for mortgage fraud. I was one of them.
On the ten-year anniversary of the Great Recession, I am climbing out the maze of trickery to tell the true story of my own special fractal of deception, a layer of chicanery that has not been exposed before now. You are about to be thunderstruck and, if not already, overwhelmingly skeptical of your government.
