SEC probing ResCap for possible mortgage fraud
Aug 28 (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating Ally Financial mortgage unit Residential Capital for possible misconduct in its loan origination and underwriting practices.
The SEC disclosed in court documents that it had issued a formal order of investigation on Feb. 22 to probe possible fraud in the offer and sale of mortgage-backed securities by ResCap.
The SEC disclosed the inquiry in a court request to force R.R. Donnelley & Sons to turn over certain due diligence records the company prepared for investment banks that underwrote the securitizations.
The agency said it needed the reports to determine whether ResCap made “material misrepresentations or omissions about the mortgage loan pools that backed the securitizations under investigation.”

GMAC willing gave a flynn a fraudulent mortgage and when the heat was on the knowingly sold the fraudulent note to Saxon financial who knowingly and willing bought the fraudulent note and then proceeded to file for foreclosure.

1. Why was this not done years ago.
2. Why is the USDOJ being so quiet about this?
3. Where is the USDOJ in criminally prosecuting these banks?
Oh no! Not the SEC! Once they’re on the case, you can expect swift…. capitulation.
