MERS/MBS/Foreclosure Goes RICO

snip:

See, without standing they can't foreclose, but then we get back to "who can?" And what we find is that the originator was paid, and thus they can't either. Worse, for those originators that are bankrupt, their "assets", such as they are, can't go anywhere without a bankruptcy trustee's signature, and further, even if someone was to acquire that, which nobody has, THE REMICs CAN'T TAKE THE PAPER ANYWAY AS THEIR CLOSING DATE HAS EXPIRED.

So we have a bankrupt originator who was paid in full and can't foreclose, and we have a note that can't be transferred into the REMIC without destroying its tax preference (retroactively, incidentally), which instantaneously trashes the value of the MBS - probably by more than they could hope to recover if they were going to take the note anyway.

In all cases, the lack of acquisition of the Class Members' mortgage loans violates the prospectus presented to the investors and the IRS REMIC requirements.

If an MBS Trust was audited by the IRS and was found to have violated any of the REMIC requirements, it would lose its REMIC status and all back taxes would be due and owing to the IRS as well as the state of Kentucky. As previously stated, one hundred percent (100%) of the income will be taxed.

As the Class Members are identified and the identity of the MBS REMICs revealed through this action, the individual "Trusts"/ MBS REMICs will be turned over to the IRS for auditing



snip:
REMICS were newly invented in 1987 as a tax avoidance measure by Investment Banks. To file as a REMIC, and in order to avoid one hundred percent (100%) taxation by the IRS and the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet, an MBS REMIC could not engage in any prohibited action. The "Trustee" can not own the assets of the REMIC. A REMIC Trustee could never claim it owned a mortgage loan. Hence, it can never be the owner of a mortgage loan.

Portion of Class Action in Kentucky:

57. Additionally, and important to the issues presented with this particular action, is the fact that in order to keep its tax status and to fund the "Trust" and legally collect money from investors, who bought into the REMIC, the "Trustee" or the more properly named, Custodian of the REMIC, had to have possession of ALL the original blue ink Promissory Notes and original allonges and assignments of the Notes, showing a complete paper chain of title.

58. Most importantly for this action, the "Trustee"/Custodian MUST have the mortgages recorded in the investors name as the beneficiaries of a MBS in the year the MBS "closed." Every mortgage in the MBS should have been publicly recorded in the Kentucky County where the property was located with a mortgage in the name similar to "2006 ABC REMIC Trust on behalf of the beneficiaries of the 2006 ABC REMIC Trust." The mortgages in the referenced example would all have had to been publicly recorded in the year 2006.

59. As previously pointed out, the ¡°Trusts¡± were never set up or registered as Trusts. The Promissory Notes were never obtained and the mortgages never obtained or recorded.

60. The "Trust" engaged in a plethora of "prohibited activities" and sold the investors certificates and Bonds with phantom mortgage backed assets. There are now nationwide, numerous Class actions filed by the beneficiaries (the owners/investors) of the "Trusts" against the entities who sold the investments as REMICS based on a bogus prospectus.

61. In the above scenario, even if the attorney for the servicer who is foreclosing on behalf of the Trustee (who is in turn acting for the securitized trust) produces a copy of a note, or even an alleged original, the mortgage loan was not conveyed into the trust under the requirements of the prospectus for the trust or the REMIC requirements of the IRS.

62. As applied to the Class Members in this action, the end result would be that the required MBS asset, or any part thereof (mortgage note or security interest), would not have been legally transferred to the trust to allow the trust to ever even be considered a "holder" of a mortgage loan. Neither the "Trust" or the Servicer would ever be entitled to bring a foreclosure or declaratory action. The Trust will never have standing or be a real party in interest. They will never be the proper party to appear before the Court.

63. The transfer of mortgage loans into the trust after the "cut off date" (in the example 2006), destroys the trust's REMIC tax exempt status, and these "Trusts" (and potentially the financial entities who created them) would owe millions of dollars to the IRS and the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet as the income would be taxed at of one hundred percent (100%).

collectively (“MERS”) and the MERS Shareholders:

7. Defendant Merscorp, Inc., is a foreign corporation created in or about
1998 by conspirators from the largest banks in the United States in order to undermine
and eventually eviscerate long-standing principles of real property law, such as the
requirement that any person or entity who seeks to foreclose upon a parcel of real
property: 1) be in possession of the original note, 2) Have a publicly recorded mortage in
the name of the party for whom the underlying debt is actually owed and who is the
holder of the original Promissory Note with legally binding assignments, and 3) possess a
written assignment giving he, she or it actual rights to the payments due from the
borrower pursuant to both the mortgage and note.


8. Defendant Merscorp, Inc., claims to be the sole shareholder in an entity
by the name of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc., (“MERS”). MERS is the

shareholder of MERSCORP, who will be named as their identities are revealed.

FSB. It is this second mortgage, which is the subject of this action.


11. MERS is not the original lender for any of the class members loans.

14. No promissory Note or other evidence exists which could ever make
the Plaintiffs and the class members indebted to MERS in any way.



15. MERS never had nor will it ever have standing to enforce the illegal

Notes of the Plaintiffs and the class members.
