EDITOR’S NOTE: The shell game continues. While the media picks up stories about “settlements” giving rise to the presumption that Countrywide Home Loans and Bank of America and the rest of the securitization players committed various violations of statutes, duties, rules and regulations, the main point gets lost.

12debt.html?_r=1&ref=business EDITOR’S NOTE: It is ironic how reality eventually catches up with illusion.

Editor’s Note: The REAL BOTTOM LINE POINT is not some technicality wherein the paperwork wasn’t done right, which frankly is reason enough to deny the foreclosure, it is that this “technical” deficiency is “derived” from the fact that there is no note or mortgage or deed of trust that can be enforced.
