By James Thorner, Times Staff Writer

Posted: Jan 29, 2010 07:23 PM

Facing foreclosure, a Tampa Bay homeowner has sued her mortgage lender with a novel defense: Her no-documentation home loan was a "defective financial product" that helped bring down the U.S. financial system.

Most Florida foreclosures take a year to 18 months to work through the courts these days, longer if a lawyer fights a successful rear guard action. So in 90 days banks can theoretically auction the home out from under you.

• The Florida Supreme Court’s newly… Continue

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -Thomas… Continue

Fraudulent Signers--I know one personally! Unbelievable!

So I did some digging last night, and it turns out that an old friend of mine is one of the signers of the fraudulent documents! She is one of my Facebook friends! I worked with her at Pizza Hut in my first year of college and later at a sporting goods store in Louisiana.

I haven't seen her in years and she recently found me on Facebook, where she told me she works for Bank of America. But she is signing notices of trustee sale as an "assistant secretary" of Recontrust (I found some… Continue

Feds find little fraud at big Wall Street firms

By Patrice Hill

While the American public and Capitol Hill lawmakers appear to blame wrongdoing on Wall Street as the primary cause of the global financial crisis, federal law enforcement agencies have had little success in finding and prosecuting instances of fraud at the nation's major investment firms.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.s testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission last week, while boasting of thousands of cases against small-time… Continue
