Alternate version:
The ant, having found some great loopholes in the housing market back in 2005, has flipped 20 properties between other ants in the colony, and they have all pocketed massive amounts of cash from the differences between mortgages, and realtor fees since ant had a couple friends play insider middle men in the transactions. Happy that his offshore account now holds the pilferings of the banking system, he heads when the press starts to heat up on his ass, trudging through the snow towards the waiting flight to cancun.
Meanwhile, the caterpillers, butterflys, honeybees, and ladybugs are left behind to pay for all of the ants fraudulent activities.
so true man.. i say it all the time, those mortgage brokers and realtors made a KILLING and now they're left with no price to pay.
