This one’s complicated, but I’ll just spell it out: remember Casey Serin, the 24-year-old no-money-down investor from Sacramento who bought eight houses, lost them all to foreclosure, then became famous for blogging about it? Then, tail between his legs and marriage on the rocks, he shut down his blog? OK, here’s the new part: According to CNET, he has reopened the blog, says he has fled to Australia, and is threatening to sue all the bloggers who pick on him for not paying his bills.

Declan McCullagh of CNET News.com: ‘A failed real estate speculator who created a popular website touting his exploits has begun threatening to sue his critics and claims to be in hiding in Australia. ... The latest kerfuffle arose last week after Serin blogged about a contract with a mysterious ‘independent publisher’ for self-help material about how to deal with foreclosure. To the so-called haterz, this represented an enticing challenge, which they met by outing the publisher as self-styled Internet marketer Marty Stewart and even unearthing a confidential business plan for iamfacingforeclosure.com and related audio files that Stewart left on a website that was not password-protected. The files have since been mirrored elsewhere.’
