Ed is stating that the above activity is Criminal… and you are messing with the Feds, etc., and implying that there is a jail sentence for such activity. At least that is how I read his post. My point is that: sure, it violates the contract that the debtor has already violated by non-payment of the mtg amortization, and nothing criminal there.
The activity that is being discussed in this thread does surely violate the terms of the mtg and the remedy is adjudicated in civil court, not criminal. That is the only difference. I am not saying that stripping a house should be done, but if it is done, the damages are for money, period.

Seriously? 20K where I am is easy for the neighborhood kids to pull off in
an afternoon, just goofing around. You end up a convicted felon in NJ
for getting caught playing with matches?
