The Resume

    (September 10, 1982- )
    Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
    Emigrated to the US and settled in Sacramento, California (1994)
    Quit his job as a web developer to strike it rich in real estate
    Launched the blog iamfacingforeclosure.com as his investments fell apart (September, 2006)

Why he might be annoying:

    He ran up $2.2 million in debts buying eight houses on credit, lost six to foreclosure and sold two at a loss.
    He lied repeatedly on loan applications.
    His wife Galina left college and works as a housecleaner.
    He still refuses to get a real job.
    Galina wishes he would shut down his blog.
    'USA Today' called him 'the poster boy for everything that went wrong in the real estate boom.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His blog has been described as 'irritainment': irritating yet compulsively readable.
    His blog earns him $1,000 a month through Google ads.
    A reader of his blog paid $250 for the privilege of ranting at him for an hour about financial responsibility.
    Is anyone spending $250 for that purpose entitled to lecture about fiscal prudence?
    Galina said 'there are only two reasons for a divorce: adultery and physical abuse,' so his marriage is safe as long as he sticks to massive debt and public embarrassment.
