I work with Chuck Dorfman, and I've watched him screw over people over and over with his smooth talking and bad accent. My conscience wouldn't let me sit back and say nothing anymore. This guy wheels and deals anyway we can, real estate purchases, business investments, mortgage lending, capital management, you name it. Regardless of the avenue, he'll find an angle to *** over. For example, he'll go to desperate people about to lose their homes and talk them into draining the last of their savings, selling assets, even cashing in retirement funds, for fees and operational costs of some miracle service he's going to provide them which will rescue them from their woes, usually at the tune of $5000+. Then he'll do something like negotiate a short sale structured to pay him twice the usual rate of commission by charging both the buyer and the seller. Most time this money is attached to the judgement the sellers get slapped with for what they owe the back for selling at a price less than they owed. This puts them on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars more than if they had used anyone else besides Chuck Dorfman. Not scummy enough? Before the government cracked down he was responsible for putting literally hundreds of people into these situations buy talking them into taking out huge amounts of equity from their homes by getting mortgages from him with huge fees and horrible rates and terms. And those truly "lucky" clients of his, the ones he'd call "his one of a kind special people" to their faces; Chuck Dorfman would get them to go into some business venture with him with the money they pulled out of their homes that always resulted in the business failing, which he'd blame on the economy, even though he'd have promised it was immune to what was going on, because he'd pocket the investment money by fudging start-up expenses or paying himself a salary or paying friends or family for phony services. And these are just a couple of Chuck Dorfman's scams. Stay away from this guy and keep your loved ones away from him too.
