Home Owners Across the Nation Sue All Bank Servicers and Their Offshore Havens; Spire Law Officially Announces Filing of Landmark Lawsuit

Largest International Money Laundering Network in History Formed During Obama Administration; U.S. Banks' Theft of Home Owners' Money Laundered Through Cayman Islands, Isle of Man and Numerous Offshore-Based Affiliates

NEW YORK, NY, Apr 23, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- In a lawsuit alleged to involve the largest money laundering network in United States history, Spire Law Group, LLP -- on behalf of home owners across the Country -- has filed a mass tort action in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Kings. Home owners across the country have sued every major bank servicer and their subsidiaries -- formed in countries known as havens for money laundering such as the Cayman Islands, the Isle of Man, Luxembourg and Malaysia -- alleging that while the Obama Administration was publicly encouraging loan modifications for home owners, it was privately ratifying the formation of these shell companies in violation of the United States Patriot Act, and State and Federal law. The case further alleges that through these obscure foreign companies, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank, Citigroup, One West Bank, and numerous other federally chartered banks stole hundreds of millions of dollars of home owners' money during the last decade and then laundered it through offshore companies. The complaint, Index No. 500827, was filed by Spire Law Group, LLP, and several of the Firm's affiliates and partners across the United States.

Far from being ambiguous, this is a complaint that "names names." Indeed, the lawsuit identifies specific companies and the offshore countries used in this enormous money laundering scheme. Federally Chartered Banks' theft of money and their utilization of offshore tax haven subsidiaries represent potential FDIC violations, violations of New York law, and countless other legal wrongdoings under state and federal law.

"The laundering of trillions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money -- and the wrongful taking of the homes of those taxpayers -- was known by the Administration and expressly supported by it. Evidence uncovered by the plaintiffs revealed that the Administration ignored its own agencies' reports -- and reports from the Department of Homeland Security -- about this situation, dating as far back as 2010. Worse, the Administration purported to endorse a 'national bank settlement' without disclosing or having any public discourse whatsoever about the thousands of foreign tax havens now wholly owned by our nation's banks. Fortunately, no home owner is bound to enter into this fraudulent bank settlement," stated Eric J. Wittenberg of Columbus, Ohio -- a noted trial lawyer, author and student of US history -- on behalf of plaintiffs in the case.

again.

I've been reading further and, from what I understand, this is only the state of NY lawsuit. Every state needs to file a suit like this and everyone should copy this article and sent it to your state attorney general. I just did.

Mods - Could we get a pin on this for a few days please?

Spire Lawyers' representation of wealthy individuals and large corporations continues to this day as an important legacy and current reality of the Firm's practice. Its representation of the masses across the Country is another reality created by the worst decade of bank and governmental corruption in world history. This corruption is a part of the public dialogue in 2012 and has been recently reported on in sources ranging from the New York Times to small Internet publications.

The New Millennium Banking Crisis

In 2008, Spire Lawyers began representing masses of American home owners in connection with the largest economic meltdown in the history of the world banking system. Having previously represented the United States government with regard to the 1990 Savings & Loan crisis, Spire Lawyers have immense and unparalleled experience in the kind of corruption and misconduct that has historically come from the power and access to capital possessed by banking institutions. Through investigations conducted throughout 2008, Spire Lawyers filed the very first lawsuit attacking bank misconduct after the new millennium. This was filed on March 12, 2009 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Size of Banking Scandal Has Increased After 2008

In 2009, in its prophetic lawsuit filed on behalf of clients against Bank of America,, Spire Lawyers predicted that all banking institutions would begin falsifying documents and otherwise hiding the actual investor sources behind their lending practices. Spire Lawyers predicted in open court that the bank crisis was not caused by a "housing bubble" or by "involuntary" forces, but in reality was caused by massive and intentional money laundering schemes in violation of the United States Patriot Act and related state and federal laws. In 2010, Spire Lawyers worked directly -- in person -- with representatives of the United States of America (at their request) and educated them about what was about to occur and why.

In 2010, banks throughout the world began practices such as "robo-signing" and "backdating loan documents" that were specifically predicted by Spire Lawyers and which have been reported on in detail. At that time, reports were issued by the FDIC, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Department of Homeland Security that specifically incorporated information imparted to state and local officials by Spire Lawyers. Also at that time, the United States of America was at a crossroads: Was it going to actually prosecute the banks for such illegal practices, or was it going to enable to banks to expand these practices?

Spire Lawyers’ Investigation Reveals Global Money Laundering Network of U.S. Banks

Following 2010, the public discourse is now filled with public evidence and revelations of the unbelievable answer to this question. As a result of recent revelations of governmental and corporate corruption, Spire Lawyers have used their investigative and technological experience to unmask the size and scope of the banks' international money laundering scandal. As it turns out, the scandal did not cease in 2008, but, rather, was expanded to thousands of companies now owned by federally chartered U.S. banks and located in "money laundering havens" like the Isle of Man, the Cayman Islands, and Luxembourg.

On April 17, 2012, Spire Lawyers -- on behalf of home owners nationwide -- filed the largest money laundering and theft lawsuit against all of these "bank servicers," and their foreign partners, in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Kings. The suit names more than a thousand foreign entities affiliated with Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank. One West Bank and countless other "bank servicers."

Additional lawsuits, including qui tam actions (lawsuits brought on behalf of whistleblowers), shall be filed by Spire Lawyers as a result of this unbelievable and brazen time of governmental and corporate corruption against United States citizens.

How do we join into it?

I'm not sure yet, MF. I believe this lawsuit is ONLY for the state of NY and that we need to bring suits from every state. However, I'm not positive about that. If you go to the Spire Law Group website, it gives lots more info but I haven't had time to look into it much yet.
