A San Diego investigative reporter, John Mattes, is assaulted while investigating a story uncovering an “alleged” real estate fraud ring. Apparently, the ring leader was very pissed off that he was found out. The scam involved buying property with other peoples stolen identities. Check out the video and how the guy’s wife (a real gem)also takes swipes at the reporter and cameraman.<\/p>\n

You have got to see the video online at FoxNews<\/a>. Look on the right side of the main page and click on the video “brutal beating.” I imagine CNN or other news outlets are picking up this story as well.<\/p>\n

I just saw the reporter interviewed on Foxnews at Bill O’Reilly’s show. Don’t you just love what real estate attracts?<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/span> Go to his actual station at San Diego’s Fox6news<\/a> where they have better coverage via the video.<\/p>\n
