They are starting to see the light…

Now if only the laws were followed…

Some of the other questions that were so intelligently asked…

1. How much in MBS does VRS hold at present?

2. How much in MBS’s has VRS purchased in the last year?

3. What was the dollar valuation when these were first purchased?

4. How much has the dollar valuation varied since 2007? i.e. how much has VRS lost on the drop on MBS’s?

5. How much was lost by VRS in 2008 when the Wall Street Rating firms drastically re-evaluated the AAA rating of the MBS’s held by VRS on a single day?

6. Does the VRS ask the rating agencies for their methodology in evaluating MBS’s?

7. What exposure does Virginia, the Virginia Retirement System and local governments in VA have to Real Estate Backed Securities (RMBS) and RMBS derivative investments?

8. Has the McDonnell Administration asked the local governments and authorities what the potential impact could be to their ability to recover losses from these types of investments were VA to sign off on a waiver of civil or possibly criminal liability for all mortgage related issues as may be considered in the nationwide Attorney’s General MBS global settlement process?

9. I realize that one level of government may not tax another level of government, but if the special Real Estate Mortgage Tax Investment Credit tax status (REMIC) of the RMBS trusts have been violated through break in chain of title or lack of collateral behind the RMBS, what is the potential federal tax liability or other funds transfers of the local and state government entities including Industrial Revenue or other state or local created authorities including VRS holding these investments?

10. Were the REMIC tax status of the RMBS trusts to have been violated, what is the potential tax revenue due the state?

11. Based on filings and pleadings in various national cases brought by investors in Real Estate Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) against banks and trustees (most often banks) that in most cases the collateral was never secured by the trustees even though the trustee certified annually that the assets were secured.

BANK of America for 15 Billion dollars http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/08/business/aig-to-sue-bank-of-america-over-mortgage-bonds.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all; Knights of Columbus v Bank of NY Mellon http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110527-709621.html; and AHMSI v.
