We’ve all heard by now of the unbelievably grizzly story out of Miami about Rudy Eugene, the man so off his gourd that he ate a man’s face off.
Somewhere along the line this horrific attack became the source of comic fodder. Eugene’s been dubbed “The Miami Zombie,” and yes he even has a Twitter account.
But I might argue that there is another man worthy of that title, and his crimes, while not as physically grotesque, are none the less revolting.
I am talking about David J. Stern. The actions of Stern and his firm are continuing to have an impact on my cases, and over a year after his firm closed, the lasting effects of its shady practices are still reverberating throughout Florida.
A revised class action lawsuit was filed last week against Stern, his former CFO and the law firm he founded by two hedge funds who are accusing Stern of ripping them off.
So not only do we have a story about zombies, but we have cannibals to boot! The people who once trusted Stern have turned on him, and once again we have the banks ‘eating’ their own!
The former head of one of largest foreclosure mills already had a less than sterling reputation, but after reading the latest allegations against Stern and his cohorts at DJSP Enterprises, Inc., I’d (playfully) argue he really is a zombie, because how he ripped off countless homeowners is TRULY disgusting and his actions continue to harm homeowners to this day.
