The Farce-Hole Gets Deeper: Obama's "Robo-Settlement For Votes" Cost To Taxpayers: $40 Billion
Plunging deeper into the farce-hole, the FT reports tonight that Obama's foreclosure settlement with the banks over their improper seizure of tax-paying US citizens' homes will in fact be subsidized by those very same US taxpayers. It is a hidden clause (that has not been made public yet) that allows the banks to count future loan modifications under the $30bn (taxpayer funded) HAMP initiative towards their $35bn agreement to restructure obligations under the new settlement. As the FT goes on to note, BofA will be able to use future mods made under HAMP towards the $7.6bn in borrower assistance it is committed to provide - which means, in a (as TARP inspector general Neil Barofsky describes) 'scandalous' turn of events the bank will receive payments for averting a borrower default and be reimbursed by the taxpayer for the principal write-down. We have much stronger words for how we are feeling about this but Barofsky sums it up calmly "It turns the notion that this is about justice and accountability on its head". Are the Big Five banks truly beyond the law?
FT: US Taxpayers to subsidize $40bn housing settlement
US taxpayers are expected to subsidize the $40bn settlement owed by five leading banks over allegations that they systematically abused borrowers in pursuit of improper home seizures, the Financial Times has learnt.
...
However, a clause in the provisional agreement – which has not been made public – allows the banks to count future loan modifications made under a 2009 foreclosure-prevention initiative towards their restructuring obligations for the new settlement, according to people familiar with the matter. The existing $30bn initiative, the Home Affordable Modification Programme (Hamp), provides taxpayer funds as an incentive to banks, third party investors and troubled borrowers to arrange loan modifications.
Neil Barofsky, a Democrat and the former special inspector-general of the troubled asset relief programme, described this clause as “scandalous”.
“It turns the notion that this is about justice and accountability on its head,” Mr Barofsky said.
BofA, for instance, will be able to use future modifications made under Hamp towards the $7.6bn in borrower assistance it is committed to provide under the settlement. Under Hamp, the bank will receive payments for averting borrower default and reimbursement from taxpayers for principal written down.
...
Andrea Risotto, Treasury department spokeswoman, said this system “leverages a way to help more people”.
But people familiar with the matter told the FT that state officials involved in the talks had had misgivings about allowing the banks to use taxpayer-financed loan restructurings as part of the settlement. State negotiators wanted the banks to modify mortgages using Hamp standards, which are seen as borrower-friendly, but did not want the banks to receive settlement credit when modifying Hamp loans. Federal officials pushed for it anyway, these people said.
Alys Cohen, an attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, said that if the arrangement increased help, then it was ”good for homeowners in the long term”.
"But in the end the servicers are not really being punished. They’re getting off easy,” Ms Cohen said.
As if the banks have not been spoon-fed enough over the past three years? We look forward to the mutually assured destruction spin (what would happen if they had to 'spend' that money themselves?) that will be propagandized should this be questioned openly and perhaps a glance at the level of bank reserves sitting on the Fed balance sheet might bring the citizenry off the couch, away from American Idol, and at minimum write a sternly worded text message to their closest BFF on Facebook.
Just to be clear: the guilty party in a fraud against taxpayers has their 'punishment' paid for by the innocent taxpayer who had the crime committed against them? ok, thank you.

Just watch American Idol. All this financial pain goes away. Do what the TV tells you to do. I love Jimbo Cramer.
Shit. I'm short two of those big five banks...assholes. Of course I knew how all this would end, but the part of me that wants, expects, demands justice just wouldn't allow me to let it go.
The banks are not going to pay anything. They are insolvent, have just been bailed out and any fine, that's ANY fine will be funded by tax payers because it has to be. They can do what the fuck they please because they know that government did not bail them out to see them fail in a law suit.
It really isn't that difficult.
Sleazebag politicians need to go.
The Bavarian Illuminatti are fine!
Yes!
The Sheep are that Stupid!
this is going to go on and on and on and on for another 1,000 years!

thanks jesse
I've always known my banks are beyond the law, I never expected my entire country.
Never expected more from Obankster stooge.
I never expected less! They have no other way and the only other plan is that of revolutionists.
Looks like J6P once again, voted for the government he deserves.
The Banksters are richer today
Their Robo fraud fine went away
Watch money be made
With the injustice trade
God Bless the old US of A!!!
There once was a stooge named Obama

Looks like some high priced states are filling the void of Jumbo loan foreclosures in the second tsunami wave. Look for massive price cuts.
Percent of mortgage loans In-Foreclosure by State
"Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, Maine, New York and Connecticut are the top seven states with percent of loans in the foreclosure process. And Vermont, Maryland, Hawaii, Maine, Connecticut and New York saw the largest increases in Q4."
http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2012/02/percent-of-mortgage-loans-in.html
The U.S. foreclosure crisis, Beverly Hills-style"Yet the property on North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California, is no ordinary foreclosure.
A sprawling, Spanish-style estate, fringed by majestic pine trees and located near the boutiques of Santa Monica Boulevard, its former owners were served with a default notice in 2010; they were $205,000 behind in their payments on mortgages totaling $6.9 million.
Some 180 houses in Beverly Hills, the storied Los Angeles enclave rich with Hollywood stars and music moguls, have been foreclosed on by lenders, scheduled for auction, or served with a default notice, the highest level since the 2008 financial crash, according to a Reuters analysis of figures compiled by RealtyTrac, which tracks foreclosures nationwide."

It's a state in complete Shock and Awe.
Well, I'd say it started with the simple deceptively straight question: is the US going to allow an imperial influence of the european powers in the Americas?

They crowd sourced and chronicled the Maine vote fraud in record time to such a degree the MSM had to sit up and take notice.

Maine Republicans Urged to Reconsider Mitt Romney's Win 'The Rachel Maddow Show'

Dear Michael,
Dennis Kucinich was a voice of sanity after 9/11, cautioning against lashing out at the world. He led the effort in Congress opposing George Bush’s Iraq War. His October 2002 analysis of the call for war against Iraq stands today as a statement of clarity of vision and courage which, if heeded, would have spared the lives of US soldiers and Iraqi citizens alike. His was a relentless challenge to the rationale for the war and a call for accountability for those who lied to drag us into the war. You may remember that it was Kucinich who led the effort to try to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney for their fabrications, prevarications, and other misstatements. When others were promising ‘permanent war for permanent peace’ Kucinich was the one who pointed out the idiocy and the hypocrisy.
In the past decade, Kucinich opposed not only the war in Iraq, he voted against every single funding bill for war, whether Iraq or Afghanistan. It was Kucinich who again rose up to create a rare bipartisan coalition to thwart the war against Libya for a time. As the fundamentalists now take hold there, once again the question arises, why did we go into Libya? What was that really about?
Today, the neocons again are attempting to rush America into a war against Iran. It was Kucinich who took to the floor of the House in debate to knock down again and again the false claims that were being made to try to justify sanctions which could lead to still another war.
I am writing to urge your financial support for the re-election campaign of Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who has been our nation’s most consistent voice for peace, economic and social justice. Months ago, Congressman Kucinich’s district was dramatically altered by the Republican state legislature and the primary election is in only 19 days with mail-in balloting well underway. As a result, he is facing a highly competitive primary with a majority of new territory.This champion of peace obviously cannot rely on war profiteers for funds necessary to gain re-election. He must rely on those of us who are peace profiteers, our friends and family, to be his support and his voice as he has been ours over the past decade and more.
I urge you today to go to www.kucinich.us/donate and contribute to Dennis Kucinich’s re-election. We must protect Congress’ most consistent, most courageous voice for peace and for civil liberties which peace protects. Please contribute generously to his reelection. Please help preserve his voice, his vote in the United States Congress.
Thank you,
Gore Vidal
Michael, Kucinich got lucky by being obstinate once during dubya's rein (objecting to Iraq) and, just like a politician, kept doing more of the same. It not easy to become the biggest joke in Cleveland, but this guy managed it early in life. He made such a joke of himself, he fled the state. My experience is that politicians never learn anything other than what gets them votes. Don't confuse that with Paul's anti-war stance. Paul can explain his position; Kucinich will need a speechwriter.
It's really just the rhetoric getting out from him I'm concerned with.
Seems to be acceptable.
He spins a good yarn for his constituents. Apparently, from the number of re-elections, so did Bawney Frank.
Bawney Fwank. Fixed it.
No, it is not a conspiracy theory, It is actual voter fraud.
The incidence of Justifiable Homicide is up 200% in Detroit in the past 12 months.
That's how it's supposed to work.
If the local officials in Detroit are calling it Justifiable, do you need any more evidence?
This is a do it yourself Presidential campaign for Dr Ron Paul.
Looks like that is what it is coming down to for the voters....Just remember folks, Super Tuesday is only a few weeks away. Your last chance to see Ron on the 'official' ballot (unless his campaign guy is right about all those 'closet' delegates). Personally, I hope for Super Tuesday to provide a 'shock and awe' campaign on Ron's behalf that the MSM has to waste 6 months trying to talk down. Anyone care to help?
Already bfore 1920 Robinson Jeffers wrote poetically of America ("Die, Shining Republic" if memory serves) as "thickening into Empire". The astute were always aware that the SPanish-AMerican war was between COMPETING EMPIRES--one (us) on the way up; the other (Spain) on the way down. Sic semper.
We were "waterboarding" the Filipinos by 1900.

Another quote from that master of mendacious eloquence, Winnie-the-Jew.
But I acknowledge his talent, and do not belittle it--like that of Lincoln, another such master, it has caused enormous destructive complacency in its wake.
We humans have such a propensity to be gulled and beguiled by pretty words. And pretty other things, come to think of it.
This is not to denigrate pretty things--far from it. Just to remind us that critical reason is ALWAYS relevant.
When Jon Corzine and his pirate ship, MF Global, stole over a billion dollars out of customer segregated accounts with no repercussions, it was green light for the banksters. They now are officially above the law. This "settlement" is just more bullshit heaped upon the tax and debt slaves of America. I would be outraged, but since the "money" and "debt" is just a bookkeeping entry on the Treasury and FED's balance sheet why give a fuck? The whole thing will collapse, like Greece on steroids. The urban riots will be epic, hope you are getting prepared.
What a relief. It's at last official. For awhile there I was anxiously paranoid about getting Robo-Phucked.
What a relief....
And here we thought the TBTF Banksters were going to make the MBS bond holders eat shit on this settlement...
That was a close one...
A real win-win for crony fraud based finance capital...
It's not OUR debt, we never REQUESTED it, and oh yeah FUCK YOU!
Oh and Fedbuster I'm not saying FUCK YOU to you mind you. I'm saying fuck you to those who think everyone whom should be indebted for breathing.
Thanks, had to clear that up!

The taxpayers were fine with this arrangement.
You could tell them there was a nuclear disaster in Japan recently and they would not believe you.
Face reality....the city tap water is working quite well
No one will be on the hook for anything. It will all be defaulted upon. The astronomical debt numbers and total devaluation of currency are completely out of sync with reality and are fundamentally unsustainable. The financiers and politicians are just looting the last few bits they can before the system goes completely bonkers.
Damned Gnomes of Zürich
the settlement is also a bailout of state governments. I know that my own state has major budget gaps. the state gov will use this money to fill those gaps for another year, should last until right about after the 2012 election. bankers or politicians, can't decide which group is more theiving and dishonest.

I recommend basing your decision on scientific analysis. Gather a large sample of them, burn them at the stake, and make a record of how long it takes for each to combust completely. If there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups, then clearly more research would be called for.
If we dunk a banker underwater and he drowns it means he is not a witch.
either that or you could build a bridge out of them...
I suggest a control study for your scientific analysis.
Gather 100,000 of each and throw them off the top of the Sears tower and record the free fall time of each group.
If the rusults prove inconclusive, maybe 100,000 lawyers could be added to the experiment to add perspective.
Then the states are morons for not holding out for more.
Makes you wonder whose d*ck's up whose @ss...
I agree with this. In effect "they're simply wards of the State" and as such you and I and the Durden's here need to start "flying over the Cuckoo's Nest" on this one. The more we give it press the more we give reason to the Hyman Minsky'ied Wall Street to think they matter to anyone or anything other than the political classes who they toady up, corrupt but ultimately live off of. "Move along, no capitalism here to see anymore." Just another bunch of clowns ready to be picked off one by one by 4000 years of Persian Imperial history.
H~
You nailed it.
"The banks are not going to pay anything. They are insolvent,"
Bingo. Anybody who thought for one minute that fines were going to be paid by a bunch of banks with no money, has not been paying attention.
Justice is reserved for the little people. You smoke a joint you go to jail. The banks steal trillions they get a bail out.
Justice is not reserved for anyone. Going to jail for smoking a joint ain't justice. It is like everything else in this fiat world, bullshit.
You're twisting my words. I think going to jail for smoking pot is a perversion of justice just as bailing out the theives is a perversion of justice. My point was the "crime" that does no harm is the one who gets punished.
Hell Doc I think the rule now is THEY smoke a joint, YOU go to jail.

Anyone who votes for Either party should just STFU.
Long torches and pitchforks. We're gonna need a lot of rope, too, a whole fucking lot of rope. Oh, and tar and feathers for their children; after all, we must think of the children.
Look. We are replete with corruption. Do not joke about punishing innocent children for their control-freak parents' sins. It's too dangerous.
Lest any of the Reichland Security monitors viewing this discussion get the wrong impression, let me state uncategorically that, unlike your political bosses, the Kindermörder-In-Chief, or their banker parasite overlords, I cannot and would never condone or advocate harming any innocent children, not even the brown ones that the aforementioned categories of human filth seem to delight in incinerating and exterminating.
What I would advocate is stripping all assets and wealth from the guilty and their heirs, and in order to prevent their pestilence from rising like a malevolent phoenix, forbid their next five generations of descendents from acquiring any wealth above a minimum wage level. Since these fuckers wipe their asses with the Constitution and pervert the entire concept of rule of law, they do not deserve the rights guaranteed by the Constitution nor any protection offered by a properly functioning justice system.
I suppose technically, treachery is still a crime punishable by swinging the perpetrator from the end of a long rope... too bad the system seems to have lost the will to enforce it.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is

it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost

So was it slaves that penned the Declaration of Independence then? And now that they are free...do they teach us something about freedom and how to expand our own? Our greatest leaders has seen their own flaws...and tried to expand us out as a consequence. Hypocrite? Yes. But bad words as well? FDR was no commoner...yet he espoused "the 4 freedoms" for what we win when WWII was over. What do we win when this war is over? "A new form of enslavement and nothing more?"

But a handful of scattered holdouts won't have a significant effect. Not only that, but it's a good way to get your ass thrown in jail.
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you, but action needs to be coordinated. People would be more willing to act if they knew they were part of a larger movement.
Imagine - If 20% of the population stopped paying their taxes, credit card debt, mortgages, and student loans for the same 3 consecutive months, the entire corrupt system would be gasping for breath.
I say we shoot for July-Sept to create a nice surprise for the November election.
Shit Corzine was a piker. He only stole 1.2 billion.These fuckers stole trillions in broad daylight and we are going to give them a check for doing it. Fucking amazing.
It's only $40 billion. Just a rounding error.
Pretty sure they are off by a factor of 10 just like all govt estimates so it's really $400 billion. I guess we load up on FAS!!

still not enough. Who do they borrow it from? And how DO they keep those rates so low? Have they EVER made money????!!!!!!!

Folllow the Fukushima folks...that thing is melting down BIG TIME this time.
Mmmm. The farce hole. My favorite one!
TD needs to do an article about how banks collect Obama money for homes that they keep in the shadow inventory - and that the reason for having those homes in the shadow inventory is NOT to wait until the market finds a better price, but rather, so that banks can keep collecting tax payer funds for defaulted properties... nice
