Risk Transfer and Reform

Quarterly Net Sweeps consist of WRONGFUL FORECLOSURE funds and fraudulent concealment that has been perpetrated on American homeowners for years. Fraudulent documents, fraud on the courts and fraudulent concealment are the business model of this racketeering industry. The banks are losing ground because the courts aren’t under the Obamacare gun any longer and they see the sleazy scheme.

American homeowners and Americans made homeless are tired of propping up Obamacare with fraudulent foreclosure funds stemming from unclean hands of the GSEs, the banks’ and their attorneys.

American Homeowners want the rule of law back. They want their legislators to stop regulating and changing statutes to benefit the banks. Courts do not want to be collection agencies for crooks.

Trump won the worst foreclosure states and it’s time his administration woke up to the needs of the millions of Americans that have been duped since the new NTMs arrived, pensions were sucked dry and the markets crashed.

Over the past few years there have been a number of proposals for doing this: Corker-Warner, Johnson-Crapo, proposals from the Urban Institute and…

That’s billion with a B….

  • Outsize punitive damages awards are often reduced by courts
  • Bank found by jury to have mismanaged estate of Max Hopper

JPMorgan Chase & Co. was ordered by a Dallas jury to pay more than $4 billion in damages for mishandling the estate of a former American Airlines executive, but the verdict will probably be knocked down on appeal.

Jo Hopper and two stepchildren won the probate court verdict over claims that JPMorgan mismanaged the administration of the estate of Max Hopper, who was described as an airline technology innovator in a statement issued by the family’s law firm.

Large punitive damages verdicts like the one in the Hopper case are often scaled back because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled they can’t be disproportionate to actual damages. In this case, the jury awarded less than $5 million in actual damages.
