Profile Of A Vacant Foreclosed Home Hijacker

In South Florida, Broward/Palm Beach New Times recently ran a lengthy story on Mark Guerette, a local real estate "entrepeneur" of sorts who recently copped a plea to a racket involving the hijacking of vacant foreclosed homes under a claim of adverse possession, and then renting them out to unwitting tenants.

For his story, and the stories of a couple of tenants who did business with him, see The Lord of Squat: Mark Guerette Got Busted for Putting Families in Foreclosed Homes (for the entire story on a single web page, go here.)
