Former "We Buy Ugly Houses" franchisee pleads guilty to defrauding investors

Funny how when you read the article, it was really just one particular franchisee whose own company (not webuyuglyhouses.com) got busted for basically being a pyramid scheme. Nothing whatsoever to do with the company webuyuglyhouses.com from what the actual information at the link implies. I think boingboing just pulled a fake news!

Edit: after seeing Mark’s response and reviewing the post, I must stand corrected. The fact that it was a franchisee was indeed clearly stated in the headline. NOT FAKE NEWS! I think what I got distracted by is the tone of the piece that was like, “I hate those signs, good to see them get screwed!” But that was my leap, not Mark’s. Mea culpa!
