<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Morse, a commissioned officer was honorably discharged from the U. S. Air Force and the U. S. Navy as an F-4 Phantom fighter pilot. He was one of the initial people who uncovered and successfully prosecuted a federal fraud case regarding the savings and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 18px !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">loan</span> debacle in the late 1980’s.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Like millions of Americans, Morse, believed when he refinanced his <span class="p44d815lf4" id="p44d815lf4_7" style="border-left-color: transparent; border-right-color: transparent; border-style: solid; border-top-color: transparent; border-width: 1px; color: #4c4cff; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; float: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">home mortgage</span> in 2008 that it was legitimate but found out otherwise when he discovered that his chain of title had been broken by Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (<a href="http://www.mersinc.org/about-us/about-us" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">MERS</a>). His home in Texas was not and is not in foreclosure.

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
According to N.Y. bankruptcy <a href="http://www.kccllc.net/rescap" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">court records</a>, as of March, 2012, at stake are over 2.4 million mortgages and Residential <span class="p44d815lf4" id="p44d815lf4_6" style="border-left-color: transparent; border-right-color: transparent; border-style: solid; border-top-color: transparent; border-width: 1px; color: #4c4cff; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; float: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Mortgage Backed</span> Securities (RMBS) representing over 6.2 million Americans, according to U. S. census statistics.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The value of this bankruptcy case, as of today, is well over $400 billion—making it the largest bankruptcy in history.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
There has been virtually no press coverage of this bankruptcy that affects the entire U.S. economy, millions of homeowners and nations who purchased RMBS securities. It far exceeds, in dollar volume and social impact, the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 18px !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">General Motors</span>bankruptcy which garnered front page media coverage for months.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
68 percent of these mortgages in this N.Y. bankruptcy are either owned, insured, or guaranteed by Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Purportedly, a significant number of the mortgages are owned by RMBS Trusts.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in conservatorship (bankruptcy). Their conservator is the U. S. Federal Housing <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 18px !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">Finance</span> Agency (FHFA). $45 billion is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
It appears this single bankruptcy represents at least 3% of all active U.S. residential mortgages.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Morse’s whistleblower filing package that was received by Judge Glenn today includes his 279 page jurat affidavit in support of IRS Form 211 and SEC Form TCR. His jurat affidavit is supported by 11,000 pages of corroborated, publicly sourced and court admissible evidence related to the mortgage crisis, the 2008 economic crash, his 2011 Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) civil case addressing his fraudulent mortgage—and the alleged acts of<span class="p44d815lf4" id="p44d815lf4_8" style="border-left-color: transparent; border-right-color: transparent; border-style: solid; border-top-color: transparent; border-width: 1px; color: #4c4cff; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; float: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">securities fraud</span>, <span class="p44d815lf4" id="p44d815lf4_4" style="border-left-color: transparent; border-right-color: transparent; border-style: solid; border-top-color: transparent; border-width: 1px; color: #4c4cff; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; float: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">income tax</span> fraud and income tax evasion.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
As a <a href="http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/2012-11-15-FORMB10-TOTALSUBMISSIONPACKAGE-SIGNED.pdf" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">court designated creditor</a>, Morse has had access to documents through the official court-ordered website for large bankruptcies. He and his team have scoured through court documents and, to the best of their knowledge, it appears that these issues have not been introduced or investigated by the bankruptcy court.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Additional court docket information is available at <a href="http://www.kccllc.net/rescap/document/list/3215" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">KCC L.L.C. at their website</a> and at the <a href="http://dm.epiq11.com/RES/Project" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors website.</a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The next hearing in Judge Glenn’s courtroom regarding Morse’s case is currently scheduled for May 15. It regards his RICO civil case due to a fraudulent residential mortgage on his Texas home, in which he is the sole pro se plaintiff. Morse’s RICO civil case is how he became a creditor in this New York bankruptcy case. Under 18 USC Section 1964 private citizens may seek civil damages due to RICO fraud activities. He has been in federal court since April 26, 2011 attempting to get the court to allow the evidence to be brought before a jury of his peers.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Morse’s whistleblower filing to the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: solid !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-size: 18px !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;">IRS</span> and SEC grew out of his RICO case which was originally filed in the U. S. Federal District Court, Eastern District of Texas, and is currently on interlocutory appeal in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In an exclusive interview with this journalist, when asked what he saw taking place behind the scenes of the mortgage crisis, Morse said, “I see this RICO fraud enterprise with MERS in the center as being a well-masked, legally controlled and potentially a judicially assisted resource, land and asset grab from the American people. Just look at the publically disclosed evidence. Remember, according to the Federal Reserve’s own reports, the current value of all residential mortgages in the country is estimated to be $13 trillion or so. Compare that number with only the short term federal debt that now exceeds $17 trillion. That means that the total value of residential mortgages alone represents 76% of the national debt. This is very serious and the stakes are high. It doesn’t appear that Judge Glenn is aware of the alleged securities fraud, income tax fraud and income tax evasion issues related to a number of the 51 bankruptcy petitioners,” Morse added. “If Judge Glenn elects to consider our evidence, he could do nothing or he could place this bankruptcy hearing in abeyance pending the results of my requestedIRS and SEC investigations. If Judge Glenn allows the bankruptcy to proceed …”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
According to court documents, <a href="http://www.kccllc.net/documents/1212020/1212020131211000000000009.pdf" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">the second amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan</a>, approved on December 13, 2013 allows for the liquidation of hundreds of billions of dollars worth of homeowners’ mortgages to legendary business billionaire magnate—the fourth richest man in the world, according to Forbes, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. and Ocwen Loan Servicing, L.L.C.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The bankruptcy terms allows Berkshire Hathaway and Ocwen to purchase over $400 billion worth of mortgages and RMBS trusts for less than $5 billion. Once these mortgages are sold, Berkshire Hathaway and Ocwen will be bankruptcy remote. That means that once the mortgage assets are sold to them, American homeowners, like Morse, will not be able to obtain, through discovery, in judicial proceedings, the documents pertaining to their mortgages to determine if there is an issue with their property’s chain of title or verify if there is a free, clear and legally traceable ownership of their homes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In effect, mortgage records of millions of American homeowners would be destroyed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Last March, Ocwen, was found guilty of breaking laws in 49 states.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“The result of this massive sell-off of mortgages is that this effective destruction of documents could contribute to covering up, and making it more difficult to corroborate the alleged acts of securities fraud, income tax fraud and income taxevasion. This is the endgame exit strategy and cover-up I warned about four years ago,” Morse explained to this journalist. “For obvious reasons, it was necessary to ensure that Judge Glenn was made aware of the evidence otherwise he could go down in history as the man who unknowingly destroyed the rights of millions of American homeowners.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In October, 2010 Morse <a href="http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/about/morses-2010-endgame-exit-strategy/" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">wrote an article</a> that was well circulated on the Internet where he forecasted and warned that this exact set of bankruptcy proceedings and results would occur and prove to be the endgame exit strategy for those banks and participants, like MERS, in the RICO fraud enterprise at the heart of the mortgage crisis.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“The light speed rate at which this bankruptcy, on behalf of the money changers with their Fortune 125 law firms, is being pushed through is breathtaking. For the last 3 years, I, as a pro se plaintiff, have been following the rules and have not been able to present the evidence before a jury. Unlike my savings and loan days in the late 1980’s, where the rule of law still applied in America and the guilty were held accountable, I have witnessed acts of perjury and misrepresentation on behalf of the defendant’s attorney’s made to the court with no redress or accountability.” Morse said.</div>

James Kidney, a SEC trial attorney, is also concerned about the lack of accountability in the 2008 economic crisis. As <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-08/sec-goldman-lawyer-says-agency-too-timid-on-wall-street-misdeeds.html" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Bloomberg News</a></em>’ Robert Schmidt recently reported, Kidney warned during his outgoing retirement remarks, “The SEC has become an agency that polices the broken windows on the street level and rarely goes to the penthouse floors. On the rare occasions when enforcement does go to the penthouse, good manners are paramount. Tough enforcement, risky enforcement, is subject to extensive negotiation and weakening.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Because of the scope and volume of evidence Morse has uncovered and documented, in addition to the IRS, SEC and Judge Glenn, his whistleblower filing was submitted to over <a href="http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WHISTLEBLOWERPACKAGEDISTRIBUTIONLIST.pdf" style="color: #3c78a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">500 other recipients</a> including: President Barack Obama, the Secretary of the Treasury, all Supreme Court Justices and other members of the U. S. Judicial Branch, Chairmen and Ranking Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Standing Committees, Inspectors General of numerous federal agencies, G20 Summit members, members of the U. S. Senate, the national and international media, attorneys from the Birmingham, Alabama law firm of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, LLP, who are representing both debtors and creditors in the N.Y. bankruptcy case, and the New York law firm of Morrison & Foerster, LLP.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
According to Morse’s whistleblower jurat affidavit: “The IRS and the SEC are the last remaining hopes for justice in disclosing the complete and truthful facts regarding this RICO fraud enterprise that is the mortgage crisis and are the federal agencies with the experience, capability, jurisdictional authority and congressionally mandated tasks of investigating, stopping and prosecuting fraud. Justice and the rule of law must be maintained in these legal actions or the rights, homesteads and financial lives of millions of Americans will be destroyed. The results, positive or negative, will directly affect millions of Americans today and in the years to come.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Morse’s fight is everybody’s fight. His legal battles affect millions of American homeowners and beyond.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
As I have been reviewing the court records, whistleblower filing package and evidence for weeks, also included within Morse’s whistleblower filing is a media query from me in my capacity as a journalist. I have requested that the recipients respond directly so I can report their responses verbatim and in their entirety to preserve the integrity of the IRS and SEC investigations prompted by Morse’s whistleblower filing. Non responses will be reported as well.</div>

I should have given the Bevilacqua case a bit more attention yesterday rather than sticking it in the Roundup. It represents the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203658804576639553359831240.html" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">nightmare scenario</a> we all expected to come to pass.<br />
<blockquote style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://static1.firedoglake.com/template/fdl/images/bqo.jpg); background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #436281; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; margin-left: 2em;">

The highest court in Massachusetts ruled that a homeowner who bought a foreclosure that hadn’t been properly conducted by the foreclosing bank in 2006 didn’t have legal ownership of the property.<br />
The decision by the Supreme Judicial Court casts a cloud over the legal ownership of any properties in Massachusetts where banks didn’t properly convey title when foreclosing. The problem has gained attention nationwide because of banks’ use of “robo-signing” and other dubious practices that may have broken chains of title on foreclosures.</div>
</blockquote>
Think about that. Banks that failed to convey title during foreclosure have clouded the title of any property for the foreseeable future, meaning that whoever buys up the foreclosed property may not be the legal owner. And extrapolating that out, all the homes across the country where the banks failed to convey title properly through securitization have clouded the titles there. That means tens of millions of homes pretty much have no legal ownership chain.<br />
This is the securitization fail we’ve all been dreading. The banks have broken the housing market utterly.<br />
So, as Charlie Pierce <a href="http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/foreclosure-suits-massachusetts-6519172?src=rss" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">puts it</a>, Mitt Romney’s <a href="http://news.firedoglake.com/2011/10/18/romneys-foreclosure-plan-faster-foreclosures/" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">quick fix</a> for the housing market, to foreclose everywhere and let investors buy up the homes and rent them back out to the dispossessed, couldn’t possibly work. The investors or really anyone who buys a foreclosed property cannot be certain that they have a legitimate right to them. It also has implications for the plodding foreclosure fraud settlement; Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, among others, has distanced herself from that.<br />
<blockquote style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://static1.firedoglake.com/template/fdl/images/bqo.jpg); background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #436281; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; margin-left: 2em;">
<div class="wbq" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://static1.firedoglake.com/template/fdl/images/bqc.jpg); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; padding-top: 3px;">
And now, the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts has given Coakley, at least, some real ammunition. The decision says that, despite what “turmoil” may result in the housing market, the Court is demanding an explanation for the various gorilla accounting practices and whimsical record-keeping that resulted in the banks’ essentially stealing homes and selling them off, as though they were guys peddling Rolexes that “fell off the truck” on card tables along Fifth Avenue in New York. Coakley’s pretty fed up, too. “This is yet another clear demonstration that the only way we are going to restore a healthy economy is to address the foreclosure crisis and hold the banks accountable for their actions,” she said in a statement released yesterday. The Court’s decision clears the field for her to do that.</div>
</blockquote>
This also gives ammunition to the <a href="http://rortybomb.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/the-sword-and-the-shield-occupy-foreclosures/" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">various community groups</a> who are challenging foreclosures all across the country, fighting evictions with a “Sword and the Shield” strategy.<br />
<blockquote style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://static1.firedoglake.com/template/fdl/images/bqo.jpg); background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; color: #436281; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; margin-left: 2em;">

“The Sword”. Encouraging residents to stay in their homes, and to make their stories public, we organize blockades, vigils and other public actions to exert public pressure on the banks. The sword works together with:<br />
“The Shield”: We inform bank tenants of their rights and work with legal services & progressive lawyers, to use aggressive post-foreclosure eviction defense to get eviction cases dismissed, win large move-out settlements (if it makes sense for that family/person), and force the banks to reconsider foreclosure evictions.</div>
</blockquote>
If the ownership cannot be proven on the home, it bolsters this strategy significantly.<br />
The government can keep moving along with inadequate settlements that will “get the market moving again” (they won’t, and <a href="http://amvona.com/newsstream/foreclosure/28155-the-sweep-it-under-the-rug-housing-plan-credit-slips.html" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">Adam Levitin</a> has the definitive piece telling you why). GOP candidates can <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2011/10/19/the_gop_candidates_on_foreclosures_a_study_in_mush.html" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">speak a lot of gobbledygook</a> signifying almost nothing. But the truth that precious few want to admit is that the banks stole a bunch of homes. And they’re trying to pass them off to other people with phony documents. “This is a guy selling you a lemon of a used car, or inadequate aluminum siding,” as Pierce says. It’s pure fraud of the largest market in the world, the US residential housing market. And the Massachusetts Supreme Court is blowing the whistle.</div>

So we’ve likely got some properties out there that represent fraud in the original mortgage, fraud in the creation of a MBS based on that mortgage, fraud in the following foreclosure of property, and fraud in the bank resale or auction.<br />
That’s a lot of fraud that both parties are trying to ignore.</div>

When all this really hits the fan, Graybeard, what entity actually has the money to pay off a million or more claims?<br />
The title insurers will go bankrupt and the poor schlubs will still wind up without a house of the money they paid for it.</div>

I would normally agree with you, but the politics as they are now will prevent that outcome. Witness the B of A move to place the derivatives under FDIC bailout protection [www.emptywheel.net], the at least tacit approval of the Fed [but not the FDIC], and the craven attempts by the WH to continue these discussions after NY, DE, CA, and NV all pulled plugs on deals. The pols ought to know that no amount of money in the OWS environment will provide enough advertising to obscure the conclusion that they SOLD OUT THE VOTERS by approving this without ANY investigation, and at pennies on the dollar compared to the FHFA lawsuit already in progress, much less the ones to come as this case’s effects progress along.<br />
Bottom line, the erstwhile new homeowner has a tort against the seller, and the title company. Since fraud is involved there are additional damages that can be claimed by the ENHO because they were told that the home was indeed available to be sold when it wasn’t. This would be in addition to the DA deciding to prosecute for grand theft or wire fraud or RICO, or any number of other state and federal laws. “St” Ronnie sent the S&Lers to jail for destroying that market, by the hundreds. Time for more of the same.</div>

Ownership society!<br />
It’s all the fault of the poor black people!<br />
It’s all Fannie & Freddie fault!<br />
Add to my scapegoat list. I’m sure I missed some faves.<br />
I don’t suppose that the vultures will get caught in this. Oh no no no no no. They flipped the houses too quickly. They, as usual, get off scott free.</div>

“St” Ronnie sent the S&Lers to jail for destroying that market, by the hundreds. Time for more of the same.</blockquote>
Couldn’t agree more. The lovely irony here is that the resident actually can prove title. They get to stay until somebody else can prove title to the mortgage and then follow the LEGAL foreclosure process. Talk about just desserts!!!<br />
That’s good for the resident, but it sure does F Up the housing market. For years, until every one of these properties gets sorted out. Not to mention puts a lot of liability right back where it belongs, on the crooks who bundled all these mortgages together and never did what their prospectuses said they would (actually transfer the mortgage).<br />
it will be a good lesson in the true corruption of the American system – how this all gets made OK so nobody who made money off this scam has to take any losses. It will make a Cirque d Soleil contortionist look like an iron beam.</div>

The banks are going to end up eating this.</blockquote>
Considering We the People have already “eaten” much, much more than our fair share, I’d say the bankers are lucky if we don’t claw-back all ‘income’ derivative of TARP funds, and all income derived from speculating with money they borrowed from us, and all bonuses going back to at least 2003.<br />
For starters.</div>

Saw this on the guardian would have laughed but I am convinced that is the game plan to reduce us all to same living conditions as china<br />
The solution to the eurozone crisis is for Europeans to work harder and for longer, rather than being cushioned by the welfare system, said Jin Liqun, chairman of China Investment Corp, China’s sovereign wealth fund. He warned on Wednesday that Europe’s fundamental problem was that its workers were simply not productive enough.<br />
“The root cause is the overburdened welfare system built up since the second world war in Europe: sloth-inducing, indolence-inducing labour laws,” Jin told Channel 4 News. The average Chinese working week is nearly 48 hours, the maximum allowed under European law. “We work like crazy,” said Jin. Graeme Wearden</div>

I have said from the outset that had the Democrats followed the spirit and intent of the Great Society, much of this could have been avoided. Thus, had Congress given Legal Aid the wealth of funding necessary, the attorneys within Legal Aid would have been leading the charge, both in state and federal courts, and where the courts could not maintain their traditional fiction that chain of custody of titles. Conversely, a ‘clean’ title is the ‘bonus’ that would have occurred and where “government works” and quite effectively, would become the national storyline that refutes Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, the Democrats in Congress “failed” in their efforts to represent their respective constituencies, writ large. And just as Congress doesn’t do “declarations of war” and consequently, we, the voters, have no expectation that our vote counts.<br />

Yeah, and just add a new chant:<br />
“Title Companies got bailed out!<br />
We got sold out!”<br />
I doubt it will be homeowners — previous or current — that will receive any sort of help.<br />
And, as soon as Title Co’s start to feel the heat, that will depress the housing market even more, because who wants to buy insurance from a company that might go belly up any second? Thank god for the state AG’s who didn’t go along with the settlement ideas, so there’s still a prayer that a few banks will pay up a very small fraction of what they need to.</div>

Title companies will be OK here. Bet on it. They always attach CYA riders and the fact that you haven’t heard a peep from them, or their lobbyist mouthpieces, indicates that they caveated themselves out of this just fine. Besides, there doesn’t even have to be a title company involved in a foreclosure sale.</div>

There is a much bigger issue here, too… In states where people pay property or real estate taxes, until title is totally settled, the counties will not know who to bill. If a supposed property owner (who bought one of those bargain foreclosures, for instance) decides not to pay his tax bill because of ownership doubts, then the county can sell the property at a tax sale — or can it? In other words, the title is so clouded that, absent an expensive and detailed search to quiet title, no one can do anything.<br />
A few years down the road, if a true owner is identified, the taxes due will be enormous! And, what about inheritance laws and succession? What the banks did just totally gums up the works!!</div>

If there isn’t a movement to nationalize these banks, arrest the fraudsters, disgorge their profits, liquidate the institutions, open state banks in each state, well then we are all slaves to the bankers. It should be clear to anyone with a brain that the financial industry has destroyed the American economy, single-handed. What is the prison time for destroying an economy ? Ask a jury of middle class homeowners for the answer to that question.</div>

Regrettably, Obama said the banksters “did nothing illegal”. I guess that depends on how you define “fraud”.</div>

You beat me to it with both of your comments. As soon as I saw the headline, my first thought was: It’s All & Solely the fault of the dreadful home-buyers! If there’s any “problems” with foreclosure sales, the banks are blameless innocent lambs. Somehow the home-buyer is surely to blame, and my lordy, if they’re a minority… well: say no more!<br />
I’m surprised our resident trolls haven’t swanned to this post to adjure us on how it’s always & only the fault of the lousy lazy 99%. Banks are blameless… yadda yadda…</div>

It seems that nationalizing the banks is becoming part of the OWS movement.<br />
Apparently, Germany has done extremely well with national banks.<br />
<a href="http://www.alternet.org/economy/152736/what_we_can_learn_from_germany%3A_how_countries_with_publicly_owned_banks_do_better_than_america/?page=4" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0f6691; text-decoration: none;">http://www.alternet.org/economy/152736/what_we_can_learn_from_germany%3A_how_countries_with_publicly_owned_banks_do_better_than_america/?page=4</a><br />
“The example of Germany shows that even success is no guarantee in the face of a relentless onslaught of propaganda by large privately owned banks interested only in making money for their CEOs, wealthiest clients and shareholders. But peering behind the propaganda, the public banking model that helped underwrite Germany’s economic success might be the fast track to a US banking system that serves Main Street rather than Wall Street.”</div>

Would love to agree that having the banks finally eat their own losses is the only possible conclusion, but I note that here, it was, apparently, an innocent purchaser for value that got the consequences, not the banks. I have seen enough that it is hard for me to believe that anything but a successful revolution will be able to hold the banks accountable. “They own the place.”</div>

BROOK<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What can I say about a Broker YOU have been dealing with since mid 80's! Well, let me tell YOU, this Broker. How many marriages did he have.....mmmmmm I know of 3 at least.....Maybe WHY he sucked my accounts practically dry over the years.......Made excuses for everything.....Kept telling me.....Gloria ,, I'm watching your accounts as if you were my Sister.....WHAT A JOKE! Made commission on a Life Insurance policy....$14,000.00 .....Lied about puting my accounts on margin.......Put me in risky stocks. My automatic bills that were set up were not getting paid. Received a letter from an Attorney in Maryland that my account was in default (delinquent) for a whole year of payments. JMS had checked off documents to falsify my investment objectives. He NEVER got my written approval of all the transactions he did with my accounts. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jeff was the 1 who called me to ask me to go with him to each new brokerage firms he went to after he would leave 1. He was Best Friends with Rick Mittelberg my Accountant and Trustee of 1 of my Trusts. Even Rick told me he would "NEVER" use Jeff as a Stock Broker. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">HOW can 1 TRUST a BROKER who signs an affidavit that what YOU reported to The Florida Bar about the Stock Broker Mediation was a LIE! HE LIED!</span><br />
