Shared Loss Agreements, the FDIC and someone's hand in your pocket!

This is just a shameful situation of what banks are doing without the consumers/public knowledge.

We don't have to worry about 'The Mob in Chicago', now we've got the banks that are 'takin over'.  The American Taxpayer/Consumer is not aware of the situation so it you can spread to word so others might know of this behavior.

Via Robert G Hertzog (Summit Home Consultants):

OneWest Bank Releases Their First Year Profit Statement $1.6 Billion- You Won't Believe This One!

Kudos to Scott Reckard with the LA Times.  He wrote an article today that is sure to open some eyes.  The article, titled "OneWest Bank Profit: $1.6 Billion" does an excellent job of pointing out some very interesting observations.

According to the article, OneWest paid the FDIC $1.55 Billion for the failed IndyMac Bank, and turned a profit of $1.57 Billion in it's first year.  The article specifically addresses the shared-loss agreement that was also put in place by the FDIC, which is expected to cost the FDIC nearly $11 Billion.

The reason I'm posting this article is that it dovetails perfectly into my blog titled "Is The FDIC Killing OneWest IndyMac Short Sales" in September/2009.  The blog, which ended up being the basis of the recent video produced by Think Big Work Small (without my knowledge or consent, by the way) deals with a transaction I handled for one of my clients with OneWest Bank.  Rather than go into all of the details of the blog you can read it here.  But basically, it centered on shared-loss deals, and how they are creating a disadvantage for consumers trying to accomplish loan modifications or short sales.

The FDIC was so upset with the video that they decided to issue an official press release on Friday, February 12th.  The LA Times article specifically states that the FDIC refused to comment today on the profit statement released by OneWest today.  

So let me get this straight...  The FDIC issues an official press release on a YouTube video, but doesn't want to talk to anyone about the profits OneWest just reported today, and the possible effects of the shared loss agreement they have in place with them?  Interesting.  Anyway, enjoy the article.  This story is beginning to "grow legs", as they say.  With 93 other loss share agreements in place, according to a recent Business Journal article, I'm sure this is something we will all hear more about in the very near future.

Oops, I spoke to soon!  While writing this article, I just found out that the FDIC just issued ANOTHER press release, this time announcing that they just sold La Jolla Bank in La Jolla, CA to, guess who?  You got it, OneWest Bank!  And guess what?  That's right, they signed yet another Loss Share Agreement with them as well.  Well, that makes a total of 95 loss share agreements, and counting!

Folks, it's time to stop this madness.  The LA Times article shows what this program is costing the American Taxpayer.  Some, like the FDIC (and their banker buddies) will tell us time and time again that the FDIC receives no taxpayer dollars, and is funded wholly by the FDIC premiums charged to the banks.  Think about it... When banks have to pay more for increased premiums, where do you think they get the money?  Quite simply, they raise their rates to YOU, the consumer, to cover these additional expenses.  And, when they finally run out of money, they have a nice little $500 Billion "Credit Card" they can use at the U.S. Treasury.  Where do you think this money comes from?  Correct...  YOU, the taxpayer.

So do your part and help spread the word.  It's time to stop asking questions, and start demanding answers from our fearless leaders in Washington.  Don't just read this and get mad.  Read this and share it with all you know.

Most Popular Dogs 2009

For the 19th consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America, but could this be the last year for the Lab’s reign?

According to American Kennel Club® (AKC) 2009 registration rin tin tin,german shephard,most popular dogs,statistics released today during a press conference at Grand Central Terminal in New York City, the German Shepherd overtook the Yorkshire Terrier last year and is now ranked second most popular in the nation for the first time in more than three decades.

An American favorite since the time of Rin Tin Tin, the German Shepherd became the number one breed of the 1920s, but then slipped in popularity until after World War II.

"Labs have been America’s top dog for nearly two decades due to their loyal and gentle nature," said AKC Spokesperson Lisa Peterson. "But the German Shepherd has gained ground recently, quite possibly due to the increased attention they receive for their security efforts at home and abroad. Hailed as the world’s leading police, guard and military dog, this energetic and fun-loving breed is a loyal family pet, ideal companion and dependable K-9 partner when duty calls."
