by the LendingLies team The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it plans to slowly sell off the pile of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities trash it accumulated during three asset purchase sessions (aka QE 1, 2 and 3), marking an end to a key strategy in response to the financial crisis. The sale of defective Mortgage-backed securities […]
Below is another “fake news” report from your friendly St. Louis Federal Reserve. The Foreclosure Crisis isn’t even close to being resolved. Pensions are failing, houses are being foreclosed with fake documents and housing prices have reached unaffordable levels while wages remain flat. This isn’t even close to being the end of the crisis. Until […]
50 years ago Congress decided to slap punitive measures on lenders who ignore or attempt to go around (table-funded loans) existing laws on required disclosures — instead of creating a super agency that would review every loan closing before it could be consummated.

Now we have Reuters news service reporting that “home loans underlying securities were rotten from the start.” Thus we are crossing that line where […]
“The truth is that they stopped the review process and “Settled” because the regulators were under a mandate to protect the banks. They were finding far too many wrongful and illegal foreclosures. The investigator testified that the small sampling they used was not random but rather designed to show how few foreclosures were illegal. But […]
Now that I am actively practicing law I see the reasons for the anger and recriminations regarding the conduct of proceedings involving foreclosure. But whether the judge likes it or not the law is very clear regarding a condition precedent to the filing of foreclosure action. The borrower must receive notice. The notice must state […]
Now that Federal Reserve is nearly done buying the worthless mortgage bonds, the banks have shown that they are in fact making money hand over fist and the government is feeling less fearful about toppling the financial system with financial regulation.
