On Friday, the law firm of Steven J. Baum threw a Halloween party. The firm, which is located near Buffalo, is what is commonly referred to as a “foreclosure mill” firm, meaning it represents banks and mortgage servicers as they attempt to foreclose on homeowners and evict them from their homes. Steven J. Baum is, in fact, the largest such firm in New York; it represents virtually all the giant mortgage lenders, including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
The party is the firm’s big annual bash. Employees wear Halloween costumes to the office, where they party until around noon, and then return to work, still in costume. I can’t tell you how people dressed for this year’s party, but I can tell you about last year’s.
Comments
Just to be clear, these costumes are from last year's Halloween party, which happens during office hours - lucky them! I point that out only because as morally repugnant and tone deaf as it was last year, it would be even more stupid of them to do it this year with the 99% vs. 1% movements going on. On the other hand, I wouldn't be completely surprised if they were stupid enough to do it again this year.
