Investment banks bundled mortgage loans into securities and then often rebundled those securities one or two more times. Those securities were given high ratings and sold to investors, who have since lost billions of dollars on them. Editor’s Note: The significance of this report cannot be overstated. Not only did the investment bankers LOOK for […]

APPRAISAL FRAUD IS THE ACT OF GIVING A RATING OR VALUE TO A HOME THAT IS WRONG — AND THE APPRAISER KNOWS IT IS WRONG. This can’t be performed in a vacuum because there are so many players who are involved. They ALL must be complicit in the deceit leading to the homeowner signing on […]

Editor’s Note: Looking further down the road, when the Ponzi aspect of the Mortgage Meltdown is fully revealed, it will become obvious that both yield spread premiums and the proceeds of credit default swaps, insurance and federal bailout are subject to claims by homeowners. The Trustee’s conclusion as affirmed by the Judge’s ruling in the […]

The mistake I detect from those who are not faring well in court is the attempt to treat preliminary motions and hearings as opportunities to prove your entire case. Don’t talk about conspiracy and theft, talk about evidence and discovery. every debtor is entitled to know the identity of the creditor, the full accounting for […]

OK I’m upping the ante here with some techno-speak. But I’ll try to make it as simple as possible. YIELD is the percentage or dollar return on investment. For example, if you buy a bond for $1,000 and the interest rate is 5%, the yield is 5%. You are expecting to receive $50 per year […]
