AMBAC SUES BANK OF AMERICA FOR MASSIVE FRAUD: $16.7 billion

SERVICES YOU NEED Somebody get me the complaint so I can post it here. Editor’s Note: AMBAC is one of the insurers of loan portfolios, like AIG. The insurance paid off when the Master Servicer declared the portfolio had “failed,” based upon standards that were set by the Master Servicer and Underwriter. The insurer had [...]

APPRAISAL FRAUD IN DETAIL

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 [...]

The Importance of Discovery and Motion Practice

Practically all the questions I get relate to how to prove the case that the loan was securitized. This is the wrong question. While it is good to have as much information about the pool a loan MIGHT BE INCLUDED, that doesn’t really answer the real question. The real question is what is the identity [...]

Shareholders Sue Goldman, Blankfein Confirming Trusts Do NOT Own the Loans

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 [...]

Borrower Bailout?: Goldman Sachs Conveyor Belt

If you have a GSAMP securitized loan you might want to pay particular attention here. In fact, if you ever had a securitized loan of any kind you should be very interested. Hudson Mezzanine: The use of the word “mezzanine” is like the use of the word “Trust.” There is no mezzanine and there is [...]

Foreclosure Prevention 1.1

Nobody ever thought that returning a lady’s purse to her after a purse snatcher ran away with it was a gift. So why is anyone contesting returning the purse to homeowners who had their lives snatched from them? The baby steps of the Obama administration are frustrating. Larry Summers, Tim Geithner and those who walk [...]

Regulation and Prosecution on Wall Street

In my opinion, the growing anger at Wall Street is giving Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon another chance at misdirection. They are using the current popular angst to steer the debate into whether derivatives and synthetic CDOs should be banned. In the end they will win that debate, and they should win it. What they [...]

Ambac Clients May Receive 25 Cents on Dollar in Cash

Editor’s Note: The significance of this announcement is that the bondholders, who were insured directly by AMBAC (as opposed to the investment bankers who bought “bets” like credit default swaps) are receiving 25 cents on every dollar they funded as creditors for the funding of loan to homeowners (debtors/ borrowers). This supports and corroborates two [...]

A Thought About Bankruptcy Petitions: Creditor ID

Upon finding that a portion of those payments should be applied to the subject loan, the declaration of default would be invalid because it would either be wrong inasmuch that the third party payments would at least be prepayments of future monthly payments, or wrong because the third party payments reflected an inaccurate accounting of [...]

Swaps as Breach of Fiduciary Duties

“That’s right. Issuers are essentially paying twice for flawed deals that bestowed great riches on the bankers and advisers who sold them. Taxpayers should be outraged, but to be angry you have to be informed — and few taxpayers may even know that the complicated arrangements exist.” Editor’s Note: At some point, it will become [...]

Accounting for Damages: Madoff Ruling May Affect Homeowner Claims

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 [...]

Mortgage Insurer Asks Court to Bless Claim Denials

Lawsuits like this one have been on the rise as ever more mortgages default. It is no secret that the housing market boom fostered poorly underwritten mortgages, in which it was common that a borrower’s income was inflated or never documented. Insurers are denying the claims on many loans, asserting they are not liable to [...]

Goldman-AIG Conflict Reveals Inside Story on Housing Scheme

See NY Times Morgenstern Article on Goldman/AIG COnflict See GRAPHICAL TIMELINE OF GOLDMAN\’S STRATEGIC \”DEFAULTS\” Understandably this is a lot to take in so I invite you to pick up a copy of the New York Times, or go to the links above and study this article. First, I have excerpted what I think is [...]

Yield Spread Premiums Prove Appraisal Fraud: The Key to Understanding The Mortgage Mess

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 [...]

SCANDAL BIGGER THAN BERNIE: NY POST

THANK YOU PAUL FROM ATLANTA: YOU DEFINITELY HAVE YOUR EYE ON THE RIGHT BALL. And then there is this one which described the scale of the Wall Street schemes that brought all of us to this point. People are just starting to realize that they are all citizens of the same country and that if [...]

Foreclosure Offense and Defense: DISCOVERY OF Insurance Policies and Applications Reveal ALL

The simple mortgage on a home had been broken into many pieces (tranches — See Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)) each having characteristics of entities unto themselves. The term “borrower” was severed from the the obligation to pay. The term “lender” was severed from the risk of loss and the right to payment from the borrower. [...]

Foreclosure Defense: Get into the Details: Trustee Deeds

IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT THE TRUSTEE HOLDING THE DEED AND MORTGAGE, THE APPRAISER OR LENDER HOLDS AN INSURANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES A BASIS FOR RECOVERY OF YOUR DOWN PAYMENT AND OTHER REFUNDS DUE FROM VIOLATIONS OF TILA, RESPA, RICO ETC. In states that use Trustees for deeds and mortgages, you should of course check [...]
