Financial Hall Of Fame & Shame For 2010

List compiled by Larry Doyle of Sense on Cents...

Larry is also President of Greenwich Investment Management.

With 2010 now close to being in the rear view mirror, I am compelled to provide my accolades and derision to those who did or did not embrace Sense on Cents perpetual pursuit of truth, transparency, and integrity.  My lists are certainly far from complete.  I welcome and encourage an open, healthy debate with these selections.  The numbering of my picks is based on the calendar–that is, when I referenced these individuals/institutions during the course of the year– more than on any degree of fame or shame.

New Jersey Cracks Down On Foreclosure Fraud

Earlier this month, New Jersey's chief justice, Stuart Rabner, announced severe measures to halt abusive foreclosure practices in the state, including rubber-stamping documents without verifying their authenticity, known as robo-signing.
