COMMENTS from Lynn Szymoniak re “Linda Green” Mortgage Assignments
On June 29, 2010, Judge William C. Todd, III, entered a lengthy opinion in a NJ foreclosure action, Bank of New York as Trustee v. Michael J. Raftogianis, et al., Case No.F-7356-09, Superior Ct. of NJ, Atlantic County, in a case involving securitization, MERS and questionable mortgage assignments. These same issues arise in hundreds of thousands of foreclosure cases. Judge Todd found: “The original complaint in this matter was filed in February, 2009. The plaintiff identified in the complaint was not the original mortgagee. There was no meaningful attempt to comply with the provisions of R. 4:64-1(b)(10) by ‘reciting all assignments in the chain of title…The MERS assignment was not executed and recorded until after the complaint was filed.’ The plaintiff also failed to produce the Note. On page 18 of this Order, Judge Todd notes: “The assignment was executed by one Linda Green, as Vice President of MERS, as nominee for American Home Acceptance. Ms. Green’s signature was notarized.”
Several articles regarding the authority and actions of Linda Green are available on “Fraud Digest.” In the “pleadings” section, there are examples of the many different Linda Green signatures/forgeries. Green’s “signature” appears on HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of mortgage assignments – as an officer of at least 20 different banks and mortgage companies.
DOING THE MATH
The total mortgage loan amount on 500 “Linda Green” Mortgage Assignments is $126,956,912, or approximately $125 million for each 500 Assignments. The average output of Assignments from the Docx office in Alpharetta, Georgia in 2009 was 2,000 Assignments per day.
This would be equivalent to (4 x $125 million) or $500 million each day. Assuming that Docx operated 5 days a week for 51 weeks (allowing for holidays), the office was open, producing Assignments, 255 days. It is likely that the Linda Green/Docx crew prepared and filed Mortgage Assignments showing One Hundred Twenty-Seven Billion, Five Hundred Million ($127,500,000,000) in mortgages were Assigned in 2009.
The offices of Lender Processing Services in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, seems likely to also have produced 2,000 Assignments each working day.
Jeffrey Stephan from the GMAC offices in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania also is likely to have produced 2,000 Assignments each day.
Bryan Bly of Nationwide Title Clearing also is likely to have produced 2,000 Mortgage Assignments each day.
Scott Anderson of Ocwen Loan Servicing in West Palm Beach, Florida, almost certainly produced an average of 2,000 Assignments a day.
Herman John Kennerty of America’s Servicing Company in Ft. Mill, South Carolina, also is likely to have produced 2,000 Assignments each day.
Erica Johnson-Seck was almost certainly producing Assignments at this same level for IndyMac.
Christina Trowbridge, Whitney Cook, and Stacy Spohn of Chase Home Finance in Franklin, Ohio likely had the same output.
Keri Selman and Renee Hertzler of BAC Home Loan Servicing (formerly Countrywide) in Texas almost certainly produced an average of 2,000 Assignments a day.
If these nine offices each produced 2,000 Assignments a day, the value of the Mortgage Assignments filed by all nine offices in 2009 was One Trillion, One Hundred Forty Seven Billion, Five Hundred Million ($1,147,500,000,000).
Most of these Assignments, of course, were not actually made in 2009. Trusts and trustees did not rush to acquire over a trillion dollars in sub-prime mortgages in 2009. The vast majority of these assignments were made solely for the purpose of “facilitating” foreclosures.
Each day, courts, regulators and law enforcement refuse to act on the issue of fraudulent Mortgage Assignments. By failing to act, they choose to protect the interests of Wall Street securitizers, hedge funds, Deutsche Bank (and other foreign banks), CDO sellers and purchasers, especially Goldman Sachs and investors, particularly Chinese traders.
If homeowners had committed the equivalent crime and filed millions of fraudulent “Satisfaction of Mortgage” documents, the courts and prisons would be filled with defendants. Two systems of justice, one for Wall Street and one for Main Street, means no justice at all.

I need help. Having trouble subprime mortgage from American Home Mortgage. Assigned to Deutsche bank. Any suggestions?
I went to Texas US district Court and requested Wells Fargo Bank bring in wet ink documents they did not show and yet the US district Judge dismissed it. There are some very inept Judges or very corrupt. i found a fraudulent assignment recorded the day prior to the hearing, assigned no less from a lender who hasn’t exsited since 2005. These credit law groups like Barrett Daffin Turner frappier & Engle need to be accountable for the fraud on the court. Wells Fargo Bank NA has major retribution to the homes and people they have defrauded
This has got to stop!!! Why aren’t people coming together and sue these people? How about the suspended trusts that have no standing. 2000 filings a day!? Thats true-sometimes at the exact same time! This is fraud upon america. Everyone should do a forensic audit to stop these criminals in their tracks. This is a great class action case-i think if you were to investigate the pools and their insurance pay-offs, the banks bail outs and the fraudulent assignments…seems like that should be enough-in masses-to get some “HONEST”judges attention-that is IF they care enough! Don’t you think the judges that allowed these documents to be used to STEAL the american peoples HOMES, should face charges, or better yet-step down because they either dont care, or they are NOT smart enough to recognize the fraud all across the nation!! This is criminal and has to stop. I found on 2/16/2009 in broward county thousands of assignments with linda green and bryan bly recorded at the exact same time…how does that happen? Call me if u have any doubts… Debi. 561-389-9339
I hope to God she goes to jail for a long, long, time.
