Looks like there was a decent judge in this case…
A junior mortgagee sought to subordinate the senior mortgage loan based on an argument that modification of the senior loan impaired the junior mortgagee’s rights.

Homeowner wins judgment against BANA based on fact America’s Wholesale Lender was never a legal entity at the time the mortgage and notes were executed. Court rules that Homeowner can recover all payments, with interest, and attorney’s fees.
See paragraph 9
(b) The Note and Mortgage are void because the alleged Lender, America’s Wholesale Lender, stated to be a New York Corporation, was not in fact incorporated in the year 2005 or subsequently, at any time, by either Countrywide Home Loans, or Bank of America, or any of their related corporate entities or agents.
(d) America’s Wholesale Lender, stated to be a New York Corporation, did not have authority to do business in Florida under Florida Statute 607.1506 and the alleged mortgage loan is therefore invalid and void.
(e) Plaintiff and its predecessors in interest had no right to receive payment on the mortgage loan because the loan was invalid and therefore void because the corporate mortgagee named therein, was non-existent, and no valid mortgage loan was ever held by Plaintiff or its predecessors in interest.
11. Defendant is therefore entitled to recover from Plaintiff, all funds reflected on Plaintiff’s Exhibit 4 which Plaintiff’s witnesses testified reflected the payment history of monies paid by Defendant to Plaintiff or its predecessors in interest, because the subject note and mortgage were invalid because the alleged lender did not exist and did not have the legal right to receive and retain or disburse said funds.
12. Defendant is also entitled to recover from Plaintiff, all costs and attorney’s fees … Thanks, Steve!

Does 11 USC § 548(e) have any effect when loans were not timely assigned to the securitized trusts (by the closing dates), clouding the title for the homeowners, depriving investors of standing and/or in some states a loss of proprietary land record placement; and/or when loans were sold multiple times (FCIC, pg. 407)?

What? No extradition from St. Croix?
Two years ago, part of mortgage servicerOcwen Financial Corp. relocated to St. Croix and the company’s chairman, William C. Erbey, wanted to move there, too. The company bought Erbey’s Atlanta home for $6.4 million and put it on the market in September 2012. The house is still for sale and stockholders are paying the price, reports The Wall Street Journal.
By many measures, the company paid too much for the house at 4701 Northside Drive, reports WSJ Moneybeat. Erbey bought the six-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 14,387-square-foot home in 2006 for $4.385 million. He sold it to the company at a 47.7 percent increase, although the median value of top-tier homes in the area had dropped 11.2 percent, the WSJ adds.
So true. Problem is the generation in control didn’t live through the last one.
They didn’t even assign the financial assets – makes sense to me. Hopefully, Judges are starting to see the light.
This is a Sept 25, 2014, Washington State supreme court ruling on REMIC taxes not exempt because Cashmere did not receive any interest in mortgages or deeds of trust to back its investment.
Cashmere v. Dept of Revenue (PDF)
Michael Gamsky testified that REMIC investments are not secured transactions because issuers do not pledge any property as security for the investments. He explained that investors who purchase REMIC certificates are beneficiaries of a trust and they have contractual rights under the pooling and servicing agreement, but they are not secured investors.
After reviewing the evidence, the superior court granted summary judgment to DOR. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that Cashmere’s investments were not primarily secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust because Cashmere had no power to institute foreclosure proceedings. Cashmere Valley Bank, 175 Wn. App. at 418. Thus, the bank’s investments were not secured and the deduction…

Oh, sometimes Edward you are just too funny for words. Anyone vote for a lie detector… What did he know and when did he know it?
LOL! What a joke! You mean steal from his country…
Former American International Group Inc. (AIG) Chief Executive OfficerEdward Liddy defended his role as the government-tapped leader of the company at the time of a 2008 bailout, saying he took the job to help his country and protect shareholders.
Without taking an $85 billion loan from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at steep terms, which now face a legal challenge from then-largest AIG shareholder Maurice “Hank” Greenberg’s Starr International Co., the insurer would have wound up in bankruptcy and stockholders “would have been wiped out,” Liddy told a government lawyer today in Washington federal court.
Judges are finally reading the FCIC Commission report, yeah? http://fcic.law.stanford.edu/report
Law360, Los Angeles (October 17, 2014, 9:14 PM ET) — The Second Circuit on Thursday declined to grant a panel or en banc rehearing of its decision to toss an investor class action alleging Deutsche Bank AG lied about its $27 billion exposure to risky mortgage assets during the financial crisis.
A three-judge appellate panel in July refused to revive the action, finding that the bank’s estimation of its position was a matter of opinion. It held that the plaintiff investors failed to establish that statements from the bank about its exposure to risky residential mortgage-backed…

Does Lawsky even understand that there is a storage vat of personal data – already and waiting unless the borrowers “opt-out” after the fact?
Banks chartered in New York could soon be required to appoint chief information security officers and submit to quarterly tests of their systems’ vulnerabilities under a cybersecurity regime being considered by state regulator Benjamin Lawsky.
Those strict requirements appear in the Department of Financial Services’ sweeping, controversialproposal for regulating virtual currency businesses. Lawsky said this week he is thinking of using the cybersecurity provisions of the so-called BitLicense framework as a model for banks and insurance companies on his watch. Those rules would be far more stringent than any existing data-security regulations for financial institutions.
Psychotic comes to mind. Hope there is a jury trial.
FRESNO, Calif. (CN) – A woman died after Wells Fargo locked her out of her home in foreclosure proceedings, leaving her unable to plug in the oxygen concentrator she needed to live, her daughter claims in court.
Brooke Noble sued Wells Fargo Bank on Thursday in Superior Court, for negligence and the wrongful death of her mother, Marsha Kilgore.
She claims that in its foreclosure proceedings, Wells Fargo violated state orders and locked her mother out of her home. Her mom died on Oct. 16, 2013, “from inability to breathe,” according to the lawsuit.
The bank knew that her mother was dependent on an oxygen concentrator that needs to be plugged into the wall, Noble says.
