- dredmorbius 14y agoActually, the "robosigners" were humans who would sign (and were encouraged / forced to sign) documents asserting facts for which there was no supporting evidence, or even where there was directly contradictory evidence. Signatures were by humans, not computers. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/false-affidavits-foreclosures-what-robo-34185.html http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/false-affidavits-fore...
- iyulaev 14y agoYou're right, although in practice it was largely the same thing. Huge database contains home listings, computer spits out which are due for foreclosure, a bunch of ex-fast-fooders sign them as quickly as possible. There was a human in the loop but 0% of their judgement was employed - their job was to sign stuff, and that's what they did.
