HomeFHLB-Seattle Sues Wall Street
Posted by Larry Doyle on January 27th, 2010 9:54 AM |
When people lose a lot of money, it’s no surprise that they find a lot of lawyers and a lot of reasons to start bringing lawsuits.
Talking about losses, I first introduced readers to the expected red ink within the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system last May. I wrote “FHLBs: Red Sea, Dead Sea or Both?” and “Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae Deja Vu?” to highlight the embedded losses within the FHLB system. The losses are centered in the massive mortgage portfolios within the system. The toxic waste within a lot of these mortgages is now being realized in terms of actual losses as an ever increasing percentage of the mortgages default. What’s the result? Let’s go to court.
Thank you to a loyal Sense on Cents supporter for highlighting a developing lawsuit. The FHLB-Seattle is effectively suing all of Wall Street. This suit and its underlying roots deserve significant broad based coverage. Why? (more…)
