Wall Street Bank Attorneys Are Sour Grapes Over Glaski

Oh Boo Hoo Morgan Lewis! 

garfield_butt_by_garfieldcat2012-d6ijytvYesterday, Bernard J. Garbutt III (really), a partner with NY firm Morgan Lewis, sent a letter to Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil.Sakauye and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of California representing Deutsche Bank National Trust Co., following an October 4, 2013 letter from AlvaradoSmith (representing JPMorgan Chase) requesting depublication of Glaski v. Bank of America, N.A.

Apparently, Glaski makes the banksters uncomfortable enough that they want the decision to be removed from publication based on the fact that the “PSA states explicitly that the Trust is a Delaware Statutory Trust, organized under the Delaware Statutory Trusts Statute, 12 Del. Code Ann. §§ 3801 et seq., and governed by Delaware law. See, e.g., PSA § 10.05 (governing law).” So, the Wall Street banks hired high priced firms to pen letters to the appellate court begging to hide the Glaski decision.

THE HISTORY AND DEATH OF MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. ACCORDING TO THE USPTO

bamboozledFor nearly 20 years, in particular, the last 10 years, the courts, foreclosure defense attorneys, homeowners and politicians have been bamboozled by the blur and use of “MERS” – the service mark for the MERS® eRegistry system owned and operated now by MERSCORP Holdings, Inc.

“MERS” first became the acronym, an abbreviation for the first Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., in 1995. This corporation was registered in Delaware on October 16, 1995. In 1997 Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. registered “MERS” as the service mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its mortgage loan eRegistry system. This original MERS corporation has long since been eaten up by other entities created by its executives and board of directors to replace it over the past 18 years. Bottom-line: The original Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. is dead and it died in 1998… RIP

MERS vs. MERScorp – Looks Like They are One-in-the-Same

How many times have you seen opposing counsel argue in a Motion to Dismiss that MERSCORP, Inc. should not be a Defendant in the lawsuit? They allege, for example: “Plaintiffs do not allege that they had any dealings with Defendant MERSCORP, nor that Defendant MERSCORP is a party to or drafted any of the documents relative to their loan, or took any action against them?”  Well, folks – MERS and MERSCORP, Inc. are apparently one-in-the-same… it appears to be a “dba” at best…. New evidence, anybody? [Ed. note: I stand corrected referring to the comment below; not even “dba” is adequate.  See AMERICA WHOLESALE LENDER v. PAGANO stating,“We conclude that, because a trade name is not an entity with legal capacity to sue, the corporation has no standing to litigate the merits of the case.” Check your state and local case law.]

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office documents a MERS “name change”Continue reading

Super Hero Schneiderman Kicked Out of Club for Standing Up for America

The time has come to rattle the cages of our Attorneys General, our Governors, our Congressional Representatives and State Legislators.SUPER SCHNEIDERMAN We need to tell them that we support New York’s Attorney General Schneiderman! The one true Super Hero, Eric T. Schneiderman, AG of the great state of New York understands the vast amount of fraud that is associated with securitization.

Schneiderman is not willing to fall in the Obama line dance and allow the banks to get off nearly scot-free for ALL of the wrongs, frauds, abuses and Ponzi scheming that they’ve done. The fearless leader has been outspoken because he knows, just like his predecessor, Elliot Spritzer, that these banks have committed crimes that surpass any “get out of jail” free pardons the failed Obama administration might be willing to give.
