On this same date at approximately 1:30 p.m., FBI Agents arrested Rafael Santiago in the 11400 block of Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. Santiago was arrested without incident after the FBI received information from the public concerning Santiago‘s location.

The FBI appreciates the public’s cooperation in this investigation to date. The FBI is still asking the public’s help to locate Lucette Montane, the last fugitive in this investigation.
mortgage fraud
A judgment was just entered against me in an unlawful detainer action. The sheriff just served me with a notice to vacate with an eviction date of Thanksgiving. In my answer to the unlawful detainer and in court I explained that Countrywide was committing fraud for not accepting my payment, for not working with me to lower my payments since my home had depreciated so much and for not honoring my requests for production of documents, like the original wet ink note. The Commissioner (Ronald L. Grey that issued the judgment) wouldn’t even let me talk at the hearing and almost immediately issued the judgment. I have not had due process. The plaintiff, U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee for GSR 2006-8F was never holder in due course. They were never a party in interest, were not at the trustee sale, no one was, and the sale was only on paper, transfered from Countrywide’s trustee Recontrust to another trust U.S. Bank National Association as trustee for GSR 2006-8F owned by and at the same address as Countrywide. I have contacted the Realtor that has been hired by Countrywide to sell my home at auction, which proves that Countrywide never really sold my home, but instead illegally transferred the deed to themselves. My family, which includes a two year old and a four year old are now dealing with the sheriff and facing eviction when Countrywide, Recontrust, U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee for GSR 2006-8F and their representing counsel (which I have also learned represents Countrywide for many of their foreclosures) are all involved in the fraud. The story goes on and on and I could tell you much more, like my affidavit of recission that was ignored, my request to state a claim that was ignored and my negative averment that has gone unanswered. Not to mention the many people I have met that are dealing with Countrywide and the same situation. I am just panicing because I do not want my children and I to lose possession of our property due to the fraud of the corporations and legal system we are dealing with. If you can help, please contact me!
Thank you!

F. Jeffrey Miller Update - October 20, 2009
A hearing was held in Topeka, Kansas in front of Judge Julie Robinson. Miller is currently being held pending his sentencing which is set for December 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.. Steve Vanatta and Hallie Irvin, Miller's codefendants, will be sentenced at that time also.
Several motions were heard this week. One was a motion for Miller to be released pending his sentencing. Miller's attorney, Jeff Morris, argued that the court had dismmissed with predjudice the matter involving Miller's purchase of a commercial lawnmower, violating the court ordered monitoring agreement. He also argued that Miller was not a flight risk and should be released. This motion was denied.
Another motion heard by Judge Robinson was that of an escrow account containing proceeds from the sale of Miller's forfeited assets. This account has a balance of $143,000. Attorney Morris argued that his firm was due $100,000 for work done in the Miller matter, to date. The government argued that his 'un-itemized fees' were 'exhorbitant'. The balance of the funds, Morris argued, should be released to the Miller family to help pay for mounting household expenses.
The government argued that the 'Asset Forfeiture Provision' applies down to 'the last penny' and that 'the rights of the victims to made whole are of paramount immportance' and that no routine household expenses like Visa bills, are allowed.
Attorney Morris argues that there is more than enough assets to satisfy the jury's judgement of $2.65 million dollars. The government argues that the estimated value of his assets are only $1.4 million.
The government also stated that Miller has been paid dividends from a company Miller has an ownership interest in; Boreflex. From July, 2008 to present, Miller has been paid $330,509.30 from Boreflex, unbeknownst to the court appointed monitor.
Present in the courtroom was Todd Earnshaw. Earnshaw was indicted along with Miller and others in what is commonly referred to as 'Miller I'. That trial is scheduled to begin on January 11, 2010 in Topeka, Kansas.
