GMAC’s URGENT Letter to Preferred Agents RE Corrective Action in Connection With Foreclosures

Man! Can you say Karma is a Bitch!
It’s about time it started kicking in!
I hope to God that this snowballs and turns into a monster for the all the lenders.
They forgot the PS:
PS – it appears that we may have thrown tens of thousands of families, including many children and elderly, out of their homes in our arrogant rush to capture those REO fees. We are kings though: we’re too big to fail, which is why we were given about $17 billion of public money. We’re therefore sure that our majority shareholder, the US Government, will stand behind the title insurance mess, pay the civil theft claims (3x the note value), and hold us harmless — hell, we’re sure they’ll continue paying our bonuses! — lest we be forced to take any personal responsibility for our greed, incompetence, and dishonesty … all for the public good, of course.
