Woman's home taken, but nobody is charged

It took a deputy sheriff and a four-man crew about an hour to put the 58-year-old former pediatric nurse out of her Northwest Side home on an October morning in 2004.
On the leafy stretch of Claremont Avenue north of Welles Park, neighbors tried to comfort Judith Ahrens, who sobbed hysterically as the eviction crew piled furniture in her front yard.These neighbors had watched the vivacious single professional spiral into a mental illness that left her increasingly detached from her family and friends.
But Ahrens may have been a victim of more than her disability.The Cook County public guardian and a legal aid attorney allege in court documents that she lost her home in a mortgage fraud.

paradise-
i provided some past and recent links on the subject. the apparent loophole lies with the lack of responsibilty and enforcement at the broker level. not only are they not required to report questionable transactions, the consequences for their involvement don't seem punitive enough.
