NYC Attorney: Deed, Home Equity Scammers "Continue To Have Better Chance Of Being Kidnapped By Somali Pirates Than Of Being Prosecuted By Brooklyn DA"

In Brooklyn, New York, one local legal services attorney expressed his views on the apparent slow-footedness of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes' office in prosecuting scammers perpetrating mortgage, deed, and home equity ripoffs in a recent New York Times story :

• “Most of the con artists perpetrating frauds at this moment continue to have a better chance of being kidnapped by Somali pirates than of being prosecuted by Charles Hynes’s office,” said Rick Wagner, director of litigation at Legal Services Corporation A in East New York, referring to the Brooklyn district attorney’s office. “When they arrest someone, then I’ll get excited.”
