It's taken me months to figure out the banking mess. Here it is in a nutshell.

It's a very large Ponzi scheme.

More on MERS:

http://www.washingto...0123003056.html

"Virginia delegate Bob Marshall, who has proposed tighter recording requirements, said that "the practice of MERS is going to destroy 400 years of guarantees that American law has sought to give people."


""In theory it's a good idea because it saves everyone a lot of money," said Howard A. Lax, a real estate expert at the law firm of Lipson, Neilson, Cole, Seltzer & Garin. But in practice, he added, MERS "relies on all these people from different financial institutions to give them accurate information. Nobody at MERS is responsible for due diligence, to go back and question whether the information they're getting is accurate. It's just like a computer program. If you're going to put garbage in, you're going to get garbage out."

Phyllis K. Walters, a recorder from Illinois who led the opposition to MERS in the 1990s, said that in her district the chain of title for a parcel of land goes back to 1839 and never got broken until banks started recording, and foreclosing, in the name of MERS.

"If things had been recorded in our offices," she said, "we wouldn't be in this mess."

Pete,
My goodness, have you worried about asassination yet? One mustn't discuss the secret "MERS Plan".

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...ica-settles-mortgage-putback-claims.html

"Bank of America’s announcement yesterday that it settled claims on at least $4.1 billion in loans from its Countrywide Financial Corp. unit sent the KBW Bank Index of 24 stocks up 2.3 percent to its highest level since May. A willingness by the GSEs to negotiate may let other lenders cap costs from mounting demands they buy back loans that allegedly had bad or incomplete information about borrowers’ incomes, home values or other data. "

From the BoA website:

http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9NzYzNjZ8Q2hpbGRJRD0tMXxUeXBlPTM=&t=1

"Experience –2004-2008 OriginationsGovernment Sponsored Enterprises
•From 2004 through 2008, $1.1T of loans sold directly to GSEs
•Preliminary estimates of repurchase claims as of 12/31/10 reflect:
- $21.6B of repurchase claims received on 2004 –2008 vintages
- $18.2B of resolved repurchase claims on 2004-2008 vintages with loss experience of 27 percent of claim requests (1)"

A very different view than you may be accustomed to.

All 5 videos total 47 minutes. The first 28 minutes are somewhat tedious but informative all the same. It is the remainder which is most interesting, imo.

If you've lost property due to foreclosure you may want to give your attorney a call.

The full report comes out tomorrow, all 576 page. But this Times article is an interesting overview.

Imo, this report will be the central issue in the 2012 election. Those of you who wish to cast an informed vote and sort BS from fiction need to familiarize yourselves with it.



Who knew? If you look at the very bottom of the Times piece there is an interesting story on Nabokov and butterflies

"January 26, 2011 at 3:11 PM
I’m a reporter at the Associated Press.

I am looking for people who were the perfect candidates for loan modifications but who, for whatever reason, were unable to get them.

If you fit this category and would be willing to share your story with me, please contact me at mconlin@ap.org.

Thanks very much."



If you were denied loan modification...

Big Gets Bigger

"At the end of the third quarter of 2010, by my calculation, the assets of our largest six bank holding companies were valued at about 64 percent of gross domestic product -- compared with about 56 percent before the crisis and about 15 percent in 1995. Barofsky quotes Thomas Hoenig, president of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, who uses similar numbers and draws the same conclusion: The big banks have undoubtedly become bigger."
