50 State AG's and Ass't AG's Lack Adequate Knowledge to Prosecute

Could you please ask your email groups to go to the FL AG webform and fill it out with a simple but critical request?  The  multi-state panel looking into foreclosure fraud is made up of assistant attorney generals from the 50 states.  Many of the staff in the Attorneys General’s offices have zero knowledge of the issues and have never before heard of a securitized mortgage or MERS.

I strongly urge the Florida Attorney General to appoint the Ft. Lauderdale Economic Crimes Unit assistant AGs who have been working on the investigations into LPS, DocX, and the top foreclosure law firms to an official consulting role and/or a seat on the multi-state panel on foreclosure fraud.  It is of critical importance that the current investigators be able to share the knowledge, information, and evidence they’ve accumulated thus far.  Many other states’ attorneys general lag behind the learning curve.  No need to reinvent the wheel.  Let’s let our investigators lead the way by giving them a role in bringing the other states up to their level of understanding of the fraud and abusive practices that have been revealed by the Ft. Lauderdale Economic Crimes Unit of the Florida AG’s office.

Why Bill McCollum didn’t do this on his own:  “Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum asked on Oct. 12 to meet with a group of banks, including Bank of America and JPMorgan, about their foreclosure practices. He said in an interview on Oct. 15 that he had met with JPMorgan and had a telephone conference with Bank of America. He said the two were “well on their way” to correcting problems in their foreclosure procedures.” Bloomberg article here
