I’m never sure whether the story of Casey Serin is funny, sad, or important, or some combination of all three, but here is the latest: Casey, the 24-year-old speculator profiled on ABC’s Nightline, and dubbed America’s Most Hated Blogger because of his blog about going broke while trying to 8 flip houses with no money down, has closed down his blog.

CNET said Casey’s iamfacingforclosure.com ‘rocketed him to internet stardom.’ Sounds like his long-suffering wife forced him to shut down the blog: ‘Casey Serin, the 24-year-old would-be real estate mogul who was reduced to sharing a diminutive West Sacramento, Calif., townhouse with his sister-in-law, announced on Thursday that iamfacingforeclosure.com is dead and ‘will never return.’

More: ‘Since the blog’s launch in September, Serin’s regular posts about his refusal to get a job or pay off up to $420,000 that he owes creditors have garnered him an enthusiastic--if unrelentingly critical--audience known as ‘haterz.’

Missed the whole Casey craze? What made it interesting, in part, was the ‘haterz.’ And they are alive and well at Exurban Nation, where Casey lives on, whether he likes it or not.
