Earlier this week I took a whole lot of heat from friends and colleagues who thought the quote attributed to me was a bit over the top. The problem with my critics is they just don’t get it. They’re living in a delusional fantasy world. They are naive and misinformed….and the issues are just too far under their pay grade. But just read a quote from an expert high up on the food chain and compare his quote to mine…..dead on the same….right?
“You’re not talking about improperly stapling together two documents; you’re talking about systematic fraud in the system,” said Neil Barofsky, the former special inspector general for the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. “What this shows is that before the financial crisis, the banks were essentially lying to the purchasers of the mortgages about the quality.” (Barofsky Article)
” What you are seeing is chaos in the entire financial system,” said Matthew Weidner, a St. Petersburg attorney who helped shed light on unethical acts by bankers and lawyers to speed foreclosure processing. ” The robo-signing crisis is just a symptom of that. Banks have not yet figured out a way to undo the wrongs they caused by failing to follow their own underwriting guidelines and rules back in the boom. (St. Petersburg Times)
Matt, you are just seeing things for what they really are. It is a shame that too many Americans seem to be more loyal to their corporation and political party, than to their COUNTRY and CONSTITUTION!
I am glad you are running as an INDEPENDENT – proof of your loyalty to the people, State, and country.
We should VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS! They are more interested in politics and self-dealing, than fixing our country, upholding the LAW, and preserving our CONSTITUTION!
You have more support than you may think!
The “alternate choice” close is the world’s oldest sales trick. The “consumer” will be given a “choice” of two options. In terms of politics, we are offered a red pill or a blue pill. But the contents of the pill are still the same old corporate pharmacutical contents. Most Americans have NO CLUE what “pill” they are actually taking. They are simply too enamored with the “red jacket” or the “blue jacket” and don’t understand the true nature of the similar chemicals involved… Just say “no” to corporatism and fascism?
Yet, Americans are starting to wake up out of their stupor. Their properties are being lost or seriously devalued, their pension plans are deteriorating, their freedoms diminishing, their savings exhausted, and their futures and dreams are becoming less clear.
Matt, the word is fraud. A word they apparently did not teach very much to, to many lawyers in law school. How can a judge who is a lawyer not know fraud in his court? Why have the judges robo-signed foreclosures when they know fraud is involved? I am convinced that the majority of judges in Florida are operating under some secret court book or rules. They do not care to be fair in foreclosures. They are not fair in hearings and granting motions. I sat in a foreclosure court and listen to several cases. The woman judge was not fair. She was hard and harsh on lawyers for defendants but sweet and nice to lawyers for the plaintiffs. She would demand defendants ammended answers and give 20 days while granting 60 and 90 days for a plaintiff file an amended complaint. The abuse of the people by these judges is sickening. But in America we are so use to fraud the judges know in 10 days the people will not care what was in the news 11 days back. Mr. Weidner, you have tried to sound the alarm. But few are listening. You are a great American. Stay in the fight.
congratulations for your insight and efforts. I am curious what effect Glarum will have on the 2012 Fair (?) Foreclosure bill.
