But what the bank may not have known is that Szymoniak is a lawyer and fraud investigator with a specialty in forged documents. She has trained FBI agents. She told Pelley she asked for copies of those documents. Asked what she found, Szymoniak told Pelley, "When I looked at the assignment of my mortgage, and this is the assignment: it looked that even the date they put in, which was 10/17/08, was several months after they sued me for foreclosure . So, what they were saying to the court was, 'We sued her in July of 2008 and we acquired this mortgage in October of 2008.' It made absolutely no sense."

Hopefully someone (several someones) in these Document Mills go to Jails.

Hopefully someone (several someones) on Wall Street who created those Toxic Assets go to Jails, too.



They put people out of their homes -- robbing their Life Savings -- all based on Incompetence, Fraud, and Lies.

How can this be? In America. A country founded on the idea of Equal Justice for all ...



Not only that -- these Wall Street Wizards pawned off their bogus AAA-rated paper, to unsuspecting Institutional Investors -- which ultimately crashed the world's Economy -- as all those Mortgage Resets started to fall like Dominoes.

And they walk away Scott-Free - Pocketing Billions upon Billions in Easy Profits.

No wonder the American People are so disillusioned. Where is the Justice? Where is the help for the thousands upon thousands of families -- Displaced?

Afterall ... They aren't called Banksters -- for Nothing!
