We hear these stories of settlements, purchases by the Fed,
buybacks --- but what they are buying and which mortgages are affected
is never disclosed. Meanwhile the marketplace and the judicial system
are functioning as though none of this activity was happening.
First of all it is never clear exactly what is being purchased. It
does not appear as though the mortgages themselves have been purchased
--- although that appears to be the claim when Fannie and Freddie are
involved. If it is the mortgage bond that is being purchased or settled
we don't know whether all of the mortgage bonds issued by a particular
alleged "asset pool" were purchased by the Federal Reserve or if they
were the subject of a settlement with investors or regulatory
authorities. We don't know if the asset pool still exists. We don't know
how the money was applied and whether the bond receivable account was
satisfied as to the asset pool or the investors.
But we do know that each mortgage bond purports to convey an
indivisible interest in the loans claimed by the asset pool, regardless
of whether the loan actually made it into the pool or not. And we know
that while the settlements are mostly proportional settlements in which
less than 100 cents on the dollar was paid, the Federal Reserve is
paying 100 cents on the dollar when the bond is sold. And to add to the
complexity, we don't know the terms of the settlement and whether the
banks that are claiming to sell these worthless bonds to the Federal
Reserve acquired any evidence of title to the bonds.
In the marketplace, banks are accepting payoffs on mortgages they
sold. Then they are executing satisfactions of mortgages they don't own
--- and never did own. And in court they are filing Foreclosures on the
same mortgages and submitting credit bids on mortgages in which they
lack ownership of any type of account receivable in which they fulfill
the requirements of a definition of creditor who can submit a credit bid
instead of cash. So the deed is issued on foreclosure without any sale
having occurred because the property went to the credit bidder. And then
the right to redeem is further corrupted because nobody has bothered
to require the production of documents showing the true balance of the
receivable account (if there is one) after adjustments for receipt of
loss mitigation payments.
I know of many of these junk bonds with no paperwork or land-titles, yet, dumb ass investors still buy.. you all deserve to lose your asses!
