If you think your real estate broker sucks, you haven't been keeping up with the story of the former Haitian paramilitary leader accused of committing murder and torture in Haiti who was sentenced yesterday to up to 37 years in prison for his role in a mortgage fraud scheme in Brooklyn that bilked lenders out of more than $1 million. The Judge said the case took "on an added resonance given the current global financial crisis" and that even though it's not his fault "this scheme, and others like it, have played a role in the situation."
