Editors’ Note: In response to my post on ID THEFT I received a number of comments and ideas. Here is one example of how someone stuck to the message and forced the issue using ID theft as a defensive tactic as well as preparing for an offensive response. Are you reading my mind? Out of […]

“of AAA-rated subprime-mortgage-backed securities issued in 2006, 93 percent — 93 percent! — have now been downgraded to junk status.” Editor’s Note: What homeowners and their lawyers, forensic analysts, and experts need to realize is that the ratings scam on Wall street was only one-half of the equation in a scheme to defraud homeowners. If […]

From Beth Findsen, Attorney in Scottsdale, AZ, she comments that ID Theft may just be the heart of the matter in seeking damages. The logic is simple: they used every borrower’s signature for selling a pool of loans that included OTHER borrowers and a huge undisclosed profit was generated by using the borrower’s signature. Without […]

There is a lot of conflicting opinions about this. My opinion is that the confusion arises not from the law, not from application of the law and not from what is written on the note or deed of Trust. If you look at the Bellistri Missouri case the issue is well settled. And the problem […]

Editor’s Note: This is what we are hearing about. What about the settlements that go unreported? The number of settlements that are off-record (unreported) is unknown but suspected to be very high. [One of the reasons why it is SO important to get the true CURRENT status of the SPV and the true FULL accounting […]

Most “Trustees” or Substitute Trustees get a package from some unknown source with everything already prepared and instructions to proceed. That is the exact opposite of the protections intended by the legislature in this statute under Arizona law. Your state is probably the same. 33-803.01. Trustee of trust deed; delegation of duties A. A trustee […]

Leo II bgitt47@verizon.net 2010/04/25 at 12:26 am Editor’s Note: I believe Leo is right. These suits allege that the SPV do not own the loan portfolios. They also allege directly that the Trust Assets included insurance — payments from credit default swaps. Two revealing lawsuits filed against Goldman-Sachs that I believe further support arguments that […]

“a ‘thing’ which has no purpose, which is absolutely conceptual and highly theoretical and which nobody knows how to price.” Editor’s Note: Think about it. The foundation of the supply of money that was pressure pumped into our economic housing system resulted in inflation of home appraisals. It was so large that everyone thought the […]

Editor’s Note: Now the truth as reported here two years ago. There were no losses. They were making money hand over fist. And this article focuses only on a single topic — some of the credit default swaps — those that Goldman had bought in its own name, leaving out all the other swaps bought […]
