Equity Theft exposes one of the least understood injustices in modern finance: the legal confiscation of homeowner equity during foreclosure. Richard Sweeney argues that after years—even decades—of faithful mortgage payments, families can lose not only their homes but also every dollar of equity they’ve built, leaving institutions enriched at the expense of ordinary people. With sharp analysis, case studies, and a call for reform, this manifesto reveals how foreclosure laws, bank incentives, and systemic loopholes strip wealth from homeowners while eroding the foundation of the American dream. Urgent, uncompromising, and deeply human, Equity Theft demands justice and the rightful return of equity to those who have already paid for it.
