That's why there is no ordinary course defense. They blew it. They have bettered themselves and taken security as opposed to being unsecured. Since trustee is likely going to include in liquidation analysis, (but won't take action), I have prosecuted these as preferences and recovered them for the benefit of the estate. You should discount administrative attorney fees in prosecuting the action and pay yourself (subject to court approval) for doing it on behalf of all creditors.
Very truly yours,

I haven't looked at the law in California for a number of years, but I recall that the recording of the document is not definitive and that signing and during delivery of the document provided certain protections for the secured lender even though the recording did not take place.
