Not sure what you are saying, but your info about letting someone who works for the bank purchase that banks foreclosed or short saled property is inaccurate.
It MAY happen, but those doing that will lose their jobs if they are caught doing it.

I understand your response if taken in context but for clarity, the bank has every right to purchase the property at auction.
