He is very sorry. He got mixed up with the wrong people (94 times) and really is an honest person. He is now looking for work. Anybody want to give him a second chance?

Kind of reminds me of the guy standing before the judge in south Chicago. "Honest, your honor, I was just standing on the corner cleaning my fingernails with this knife and the victim ran around the corner and backed into it, 13 times"

I guess he'll have to stick to desk reviews.

The article did not say if the appraiser received jacked up fees or a percentage of the profits. I would hate to think he was so stupid he did them for his normal fee.
