Is the $25 Billion Foreclosure Settlement a Stealth Bank Bailout?
Thursday’s $25 billion foreclosure settlement received praise from some consumer groups, but the reaction was not all positive. One detail of the deal that has raised questions and concerns is reports that the five major U.S. banks will get credit for principal reduction of mortgages they do not own. While the fine print of the plan has yet to be released, mortgage investors fear they will be forced to write down the value of their holdings.

What can we expect from new DOJ/SEC/state AG task force on MBS?
I follow mortgage-backed securities litigation closely enough to be disgusted at the greed that fueled the securitization of insufficiently underwritten mortgages issued to homeowners who had no hope of paying them off. Sure, MBS investors and the bond insurers that backed MBS trusts were sophisticated and, to some extent, forewarned about the timebombs lurking in those mortgage pools. But you can't read the voluminous MBS filings by monolines and investors -- including the federal agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- without wishing that someone be held accountable for sending the housing market on a slide, and dragging down the rest of the economy with it.

Mortgage Settlement Still Very Much Up in the Air
There’s been a lot of back and forth over the past week as to whether or not the proposed mortgage settlement is imminent. Late last week and early this week, it appeared that a deal was close. Later, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, ostensibly the head of the investigation, said that no deal would be reached this week. The proposed deal, which may or may not include a settlement of around $25 billion in various concessions was decried in many circles for not pursuing criminal charges in the case of fraud, for passing much of the losses to pension fund holders, and for generally not going far enough in investigating the events that occurred during the credit bubble and in the subsequent foreclosure crisis.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Obama administration is now engaged in heavy arm-twisting to get the 50 state attorneys general to agree to a settlement with five major banks in the “robo-signing” scandal. The scandal involves employees signing names not their own, under titles they did not really have, attesting to the veracity of documents they had not really reviewed. Investigation is revealing that it did not just happen occasionally but was an industry-wide practice, dating back to the late 1990s, and that it may have invalidated the titles to tens of thousands of homes.
