Casey Serin

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Trump 2.0

Casey Serin lives out the American Dream as advertised on those "zero-down" home-loan get-rich-quick infomercials. At 24 years old, he, a hot-shot Californian Web 2.0 developer, quit his day-job and bought eight houses within eight months with non-traditional loans.

His success ended thereafter as he failed to successfully "flip" any of the properties. Apparently, lending institutions are not doing it for the lulz and expected Casey to pay the mortgages. Subsequently, the respective lending companies started foreclosure proceedings on all of his properties and, in the authentic Web 2.0 Californian douche-bag style, Casey started a blog to chronicle the process.

Don't h8 the player, h8 the real-estate market.

I Am Facing Foreclosure turned out to be an exemplar of how financially and generally immature a 24-year-old male can be, rather than a reference for anyone else going through foreclosure. From how he managed to rack-up $200,000 in credit-card debt traveling from property to property, to a squatter living in one of "his" houses and to his eternal love for Jamba Juice smoothies with shots of wheat-grass, Casey and his blog represent the wider cognitive dissonance between actual wealth and entitlement that will make America bankrupt by 2015.

Casey earns $50 from his Haterz™.

Through his actions, Casey is the lolcow of the west-coast house flippers. For years he dealt with his problems by sleeping past noon, throwing away his mail unopened, and making grandiose plans to get "sweet passive income" from his blog, investments, fake corporation, MOAR real estate, and his lame DaVinci Code ripoff book. At one point he ran off to Australia to "pursue business opportunities" (read: suck cock for airfare) while his finances disintegrated and his bitch wife contemplated murder. Meanwhile, "haterz" and "supporterz" tore each other apart in the comments, trying to determine whether Casey is a con artist or just the dumbest man alive. About the only people for whom Casey doesn't provide massive lulz are those who are losing their houses because of actual problems, not because they thought they could be 1337 real-estate moguls like all those guys on HGTV and TLC.

The only job Casey can get.

At present, Casey is sleeping on his Mom's couch, his wife has apparently divorced him, he is over half a million dollars in debt, under investigation by the FBI, hasn't paid his 2006 taxes, is unemployed, unemployable (thanks, Google!), broke, and eager to help people in need by dispensing his formula for success to the highest bidder. Some haterz™ have proposed to help him out of his financial difficulties by paying him to eat live bugs on webcam.

In what must be a new low for humanity (but lulzy for the rest of us), Casey's younger brother Steve called Casey's "talkcast" show and let him have it to the delight of Haterz everywhere:

“	Casey, in a sense you're a homeless guy with a computer, man. You're doing the same thing a homeless guy does, only difference is you have a computer so it's easier for you to beg.	„
—Casey's brother Steve
