The following is a quote from an expert in the whole fraudclosure scandal:
“It is now widely recognized that MERS facilitated fraud by lenders, servicers, foreclosers and securitizers. Even on the most charitable interpretation it is very difficult to believe that MERS was not fraudulent by design. So much of the story has already been told that we do not need to rehash all of it here. Let me first concisely summarize the two main problems, and then move on to the most recent developments that put the final nails in MERS’s coffin. I’ll conclude with my argument that there really was some “not so intelligent” design behind all of this. But it is coming back to bite the hand that feeds. The big banks will not survive the monster they created.”
