FHFA Announces $1.9 Billion Settlement
With Deutsche Bank
.
Washington, DC — The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as conservator of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, today announced it has reached a settlement with
Deutsche Bank AG, related companies and specifically named individuals for $1.925
billion to resolve claims in FHFA v. Deutsche Bank AG, et al., as well as certain other
matters. The settlement addresses claims alleging violations of federal and state
securities laws in connection with private-label mortgage-backed securities (PLS)
purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2005 and 2007.
Under the terms of the agreement, Deutsche Bank will pay approximately $1.63 billion
to Freddie Mac and $300 million to Fannie Mae. As part of the settlement, FHFA,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will release certain claims brought against Deutsche Bank
related to securities sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2005 and 2007.
The settlement agreement does not release Deutsche Bank from any claims relating to
LIBOR manipulation and does not include claims made against Deutsche Bank in two
other PLS lawsuits presently the subject of ongoing litigation: FHFA v. SC Americas,
Inc., et. al., and FHFA v. Countrywide Financial Corp., et. al. The other parties to
those lawsuits were not part of the negotiations with Deutsche Bank.
This is the sixth settlement that FHFA has attained pursuant to the 18 PLS lawsuits
filed in 2011. FHFA remains committed to satisfactory resolution of the remaining
actions.

They got to be rescinding all these pools because there is a problem with proving ownership. There is no way that this much bad underwriting was taking place and no way the procedures were not in place to detect this much fowl play.
Where were the regulators in any of this malfeasance? However we got the FHFA recovering all this money but what are homeowner getting from any of this?
So if the bigger Fannie & Freddie were getting screwed, why has nothing on Ginnie Mae hit the fan yet?
http://livinglies.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/new-bank-strategy-there-was-no-securitization-irs-amnesty-for-remics/ When the banks failed to file the notes into the securities pools they Violated the Securities Exchange Act VOIDING all the notes. When MERS took possession of the deeds of trust, MERS violated the Securities Exchange Act VOIDING the notes. Read the Act.
Shelly what they do over at MERS is a little bit trickier than taking position of the Note which MERS is a paperless system that actually does not have any paid employees.
What they do in the case of Ginnie Mae, is that on the request of the of Ginnie using Transfer Beneficial Rights-Option 1, which the lender/issuer is contacted by Ginnie through it GinnieNET system. The action is suppose to act like title recording agency but has no actual authorizing from States to record liens, but there are no lien because there is transfer of monies when involving Ginnie Mae!
Ginnie is trapped in this hide the pea under the shell. This is a RICO operation as the Kingpin (Ginnie) directs what the underling are to do in hiding the true ownership. Ginnie puts out conflicting statements are to who is the owner and further attempts to confuse by printing that lenders/issuers are repurchasing as if there were an initial purchase form them by Ginnie.
Ginnie uses it government status to imply that it has this superseding authority over state government, which the county land recorders don’t question actual who is the holder of the debt. It slick and more con than sophisticated, as the con count of the stupidity of the local land recording personnel, and a flaw at each office in not having a copy of the Notes and having them updated with each transfer of ownership!

You may have some useful information, but you need to present it in an intelligible, coherent fashion. I can never figure out what you’re trying to say, either here or on LL.
Have somebody write this stuff up coherently for you so that we mere mortals can understand what it is that you are trying to say. Otherwise, you are just wasting electrons as well as your and your readers’ time.
