A Missouri Grand Jury last Friday indicted one of the largest foreclosure companies in the nation on charges of forgery. DocX – which has signed millions of foreclosure documents on behalf of the big banks over the last few years – was one of many companies caught using “robosigners” – people hired to sign names to fraudulent foreclosure documents to make it look like banks owned the property they were foreclosing on all along – even though they didn’t. Think of it like writing and signing fake checks.
So far – this is one of the few instances in which criminal charges have actually been sought in the robosigning scandal. Yesterday – only 40 state attorneys general signed on to the nationwide settlement with the big banks over their use of robosigners – meaning there’s still hope that independent investigations in places like California and New York will lead to some banksters being thrown in jail.
Comments
I would like to point out the corporate name DocX means doc exchange. There is a mirror set of paper floating, in something like Credit Suisse, for each robosigned, numbered document. This is a way to launder money.
Unfortunately, the authorities do not know how to find the trail from generator to end-user. They ought to hire some experts in county records, corporate and bank mergers, and financial crime 1893- the Present, so they know who they are after and how they are holding property and laundering money while others are losing.
For example. Docx LLC is a "unit" of Lender Processing Services, Inc. in Jacksonville, FL.
