Exclusive: NY Judge in Largest Bankruptcy Case in History Receives IRS & SEC Whistleblower Filing

**WORLD EXCLUSIVE BREAKING STORY.** **MUST CREDIT INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST MARINKA PESCHMANN**
New York City, New York – U. S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York’s Judge Martin Glenn, presiding over the simultaneous Chapter 11bankruptcy filings of 51 residential mortgage companies, received a whistleblower filing package today from one of the creditors in this case, a private American citizen, Greg Morse.
The Internal Revenue Service and Securities Exchange Commission received the same package today. Among its contents is Morse’s whistleblower submission ofIRS Form 211—Application
for Award for Original Information, and SEC Form TCR—SEC Tip, Complaint
or Referral, accompanied by voluminous supporting documentation. These
federal agencies are mandated to investigate allegations of corruption
and fraud.
The 51 bankrupt residential mortgage companies are directly or indirectly owned by Residential Capital, also known as ResCap.
Morse, a commissioned officer was honorably discharged from the U. S.
Air Force and the U. S. Navy as an F-4 Phantom fighter pilot. He was one
of the initial people who uncovered and successfully prosecuted a
federal fraud case regarding the savings and loan debacle in the late 1980’s.
Like millions of Americans, Morse, believed when he refinanced his home mortgage in
2008 that it was legitimate but found out otherwise when he discovered
that his chain of title had been broken by Mortgage Electronic
Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS). His home in Texas was not and is not in foreclosure. He has never been late or missed a mortgage payment.
According to N.Y. bankruptcy court records, as of March, 2012, at stake are over 2.4 million mortgages and Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) representing over 6.2 million Americans, according to U. S. census statistics.
The value of this bankruptcy case, as of today, is well over $400 billion—making it the largest bankruptcy in history.
There has been virtually no press coverage of this bankruptcy that
affects the entire U.S. economy, millions of homeowners and nations who
purchased RMBS securities. It far exceeds, in dollar volume and social
impact, the General Motorsbankruptcy which garnered front page media coverage for months.
68 percent of these mortgages in this N.Y. bankruptcy are either owned,
insured, or guaranteed by Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) of
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Purportedly, a significant
number of the mortgages are owned by RMBS Trusts.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in conservatorship (bankruptcy). Their conservator is the U. S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). $45 billion is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.
It appears this single bankruptcy represents at least 3% of all active U.S. residential mortgages.
Morse’s whistleblower filing package that was received by Judge Glenn
today includes his 279 page jurat affidavit in support of IRS Form 211
and SEC Form TCR. His jurat affidavit is supported by 11,000 pages of
corroborated, publicly sourced and court admissible evidence related to
the mortgage crisis, the 2008 economic crash, his 2011 Racketeer
Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) civil case addressing his
fraudulent mortgage—and the alleged acts ofsecurities fraud, income tax fraud and income tax evasion.
As a court designated creditor,
Morse has had access to documents through the official court-ordered
website for large bankruptcies. He and his team have scoured through
court documents and, to the best of their knowledge, it appears that
these issues have not been introduced or investigated by the bankruptcy
court.
Additional court docket information is available at KCC L.L.C. at their website and at the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors website.
The next hearing in Judge Glenn’s courtroom regarding Morse’s case is
currently scheduled for May 15. It regards his RICO civil case due to a
fraudulent residential mortgage on his Texas home, in which he is the
sole pro se plaintiff. Morse’s RICO civil case is how he became a
creditor in this New York bankruptcy case. Under 18 USC Section 1964
private citizens may seek civil damages due to RICO fraud activities. He
has been in federal court since April 26, 2011 attempting to get the
court to allow the evidence to be brought before a jury of his peers.
Morse’s whistleblower filing to the IRS and
SEC grew out of his RICO case which was originally filed in the U. S.
Federal District Court, Eastern District of Texas, and is currently on
interlocutory appeal in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
In an exclusive interview with this journalist, when asked what he saw
taking place behind the scenes of the mortgage crisis, Morse said, “I
see this RICO fraud enterprise with MERS in the center as being a
well-masked, legally controlled and potentially a judicially assisted
resource, land and asset grab from the American people. Just look at the
publically disclosed evidence. Remember, according to the Federal
Reserve’s own reports, the current value of all residential mortgages in
the country is estimated to be $13 trillion or so. Compare that number
with only the short term federal debt that now exceeds $17 trillion.
That means that the total value of residential mortgages alone
represents 76% of the national debt. This is very serious and the stakes
are high. It doesn’t appear that Judge Glenn is aware of the alleged
securities fraud, income tax fraud and income tax evasion issues related
to a number of the 51 bankruptcy petitioners,” Morse added. “If Judge
Glenn elects to consider our evidence, he could do nothing or he could
place this bankruptcy hearing in abeyance pending the results of my
requestedIRS and SEC investigations. If Judge Glenn allows the
bankruptcy to proceed …”
According to court documents, the second amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan,
approved on December 13, 2013 allows for the liquidation of hundreds of
billions of dollars worth of homeowners’ mortgages to legendary
business billionaire magnate—the fourth richest man in the world,
according to Forbes, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. and
Ocwen Loan Servicing, L.L.C.
The bankruptcy terms allows Berkshire Hathaway and Ocwen to purchase
over $400 billion worth of mortgages and RMBS trusts for less than $5
billion. Once these mortgages are sold, Berkshire Hathaway and Ocwen
will be bankruptcy remote. That means that once the mortgage assets are
sold to them, American homeowners, like Morse, will not be able to
obtain, through discovery, in judicial proceedings, the documents
pertaining to their mortgages to determine if there is an issue with
their property’s chain of title or verify if there is a free, clear and
legally traceable ownership of their homes.
In effect, mortgage records of millions of American homeowners would be destroyed.
Last March, Ocwen, was found guilty of breaking laws in 49 states.
As the Los Angeles Times’
Scott Reckard reported: “California victims of alleged foreclosure
abuses will get $268 million in relief from a $2.1-billion national
settlement with Ocwen Financial Corp.,
the nation’s largest non-bank provider of mortgage customer service …
The announcement … also spotlights a growing controversy as major
lenders outsource their mortgage servicing operations to Ocwen and other firms that specialize in collecting payments, pressuring delinquent borrowers and foreclosing on defaulted mortgages.”
Berkshire Hathaway and Ocwen did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
“The result of this massive sell-off of mortgages is that this effective
destruction of documents could contribute to covering up, and making it
more difficult to corroborate the alleged acts of securities
fraud, income tax fraud and income taxevasion. This is the endgame exit
strategy and cover-up I warned about four years ago,” Morse explained to
this journalist. “For obvious reasons, it was necessary to ensure that
Judge Glenn was made aware of the evidence otherwise he could go down in
history as the man who unknowingly destroyed the rights of millions of
American homeowners.”
In October, 2010 Morse wrote an article that
was well circulated on the Internet where he forecasted and warned that
this exact set of bankruptcy proceedings and results would occur and
prove to be the endgame exit strategy for those banks and participants,
like MERS, in the RICO fraud enterprise at the heart of the mortgage
crisis.
“The light speed rate at which this bankruptcy, on behalf of the money
changers with their Fortune 125 law firms, is being pushed through is
breathtaking. For the last 3 years, I, as a pro se plaintiff, have been
following the rules and have not been able to present the evidence
before a jury. Unlike my savings and loan days in the late 1980’s, where
the rule of law still applied in America and the guilty were held
accountable, I have witnessed acts of perjury and misrepresentation on
behalf of the defendant’s attorney’s made to the court with no redress
or accountability.” Morse said.
James Kidney, a SEC trial attorney, is also concerned about the lack of accountability in the 2008 economic crisis. As Bloomberg News’
Robert Schmidt recently reported, Kidney warned during his outgoing
retirement remarks, “The SEC has become an agency that polices the
broken windows on the street level and rarely goes to the penthouse
floors. On the rare occasions when enforcement does go to the penthouse,
good manners are paramount. Tough enforcement, risky enforcement, is
subject to extensive negotiation and weakening.”
Because of the scope and volume of evidence Morse has uncovered and
documented, in addition to the IRS, SEC and Judge Glenn, his
whistleblower filing was submitted to over 500 other recipients including:
President Barack Obama, the Secretary of the Treasury, all Supreme
Court Justices and other members of the U. S. Judicial Branch, Chairmen
and Ranking Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Standing
Committees, Inspectors General of numerous federal agencies, G20 Summit
members, members of the U. S. Senate, the national and international
media, attorneys from the Birmingham, Alabama law firm of Bradley Arant
Boult Cummings, LLP, who are representing both debtors and creditors in
the N.Y. bankruptcy case, and the New York law firm of Morrison &
Foerster, LLP.
According to Morse’s whistleblower jurat affidavit: “The IRS and the SEC
are the last remaining hopes for justice in disclosing the complete and
truthful facts regarding this RICO fraud enterprise that is the
mortgage crisis and are the federal agencies with the experience,
capability, jurisdictional authority and congressionally mandated tasks
of investigating, stopping and prosecuting fraud. Justice and the rule
of law must be maintained in these legal actions or the rights,
homesteads and financial lives of millions of Americans will be
destroyed. The results, positive or negative, will directly affect
millions of Americans today and in the years to come.”
Morse’s fight is everybody’s fight. His legal battles affect millions of American homeowners and beyond.
As I have been reviewing the court records, whistleblower filing package
and evidence for weeks, also included within Morse’s whistleblower
filing is a media query from me in my capacity as a journalist. I have
requested that the recipients respond directly so I can report their
responses verbatim and in their entirety to preserve the integrity of
the IRS and SEC investigations prompted by Morse’s whistleblower filing.
Non responses will be reported as well.
