  1. Fraud is going to cause the whole financial system to crater.  There is so much garbage in the securitized mortgage market that it is scary!

  3. The Akron scammers, swindlers and defrauders deserve, if convicted, decades in the slammer (for each one).
    Don’t at all understand the quote in the Akron paper that “each mortgage generated between 3,000 and 5,000 pages” requiring review.  If true, why not COMPUTERIZE THE ENTIRE PROCESS???
