Since the foreclosure crisis that swept the nation after the 2008 crash, America’s biggest banks have been involved in a never-ending spree of abuse, scams, and crime.

The latest allegation comes from indefatigable housing reporter David Dayen. This time it is about America’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and how it apparently gamed the 2012 mortgage settlement.

But it’s also worth remembering that the settlement itself was a grotesque miscarriage of justice. In a sane world, many top executives and dozens if not hundreds of lower-level employees would have gone to prison for the systematic document fraud. Yet, as Jesse Eisinger details in his excellent book The Chickenshit Club, President Obama’s Department of Justice and his U.S. attorneys were generally too lazy or too scared to prosecute big white-collar crimes. Instead, they preferred “no admit, no deny” deferred prosecution agreements, in which prosecutors didn’t have to press complicated cases, gigantic banks paid a nominal fee and swore to make changes to fix the problem (a promise which was often violated instantaneously), and case closed.

Over the past decade, this kind of settlement was reached over and over and over again without seemingly any change of behavior. Let’s roll a (highly abridged) tape of the five biggest banks, just covering settlements over $100 million since the financial crisis, compiled by the Corporate Research Project:

JPMorgan Chase (assets: $2.55 trillion)

2009: The bank settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $75 million in fines and $647 million in disclaimed fees over allegedly bribing officials in Jefferson County, Alabama.

2010: It agreed to a $6 billion settlement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and $208 million in a class-action settlement over disputes dealing with its purchase of Washington Mutual.

2011: JPMorgan settled another class-action lawsuit for $100 million over allegations that it tricked credit card customers into higher fees and interest rates.

2012: It agreed to a $297 million SEC settlement for allegedly misleading investors.

2013: JPMorgan agreed to a $410 million settlement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission over allegedly rigging electricity markets; two of its traders were charged with securities fraud by the SEC over the London Whale case, for which it settled for $920 million divided between the SEC, the British Financial Conduct Authority, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve, and with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for $100 million in a separate settlement; it shared a $300 million class-action lawsuit settlement with another company for allegedly forcing homeowners into expensive insurance; it was fined $20 million plus forced to refund $309 million in fees by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over allegedly illegal credit card practices; it paid $4.5 billion to settle yet another class-action lawsuit over allegedly misleading investors; it agreed to a $13 billionsettlement with the Justice Department over allegations of mortgage and securities fraud connected to the financial crisis; it was fined about $108 million over allegedly rigging the LIBOR inter-bank interest rate; and it agreed to a $1.7 billion settlement with the Department of Justice over allegedly enabling Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.

2015: It was fined $342 million by the Federal Reserve, as part of the same foreign exchange scam; it was fined $136 million by the CFPB, $30 million by the OCC, and ordered to pay $50 million in refunds over allegedly selling bad credit card debt and document fraud; it agreed to a $267 million settlement with the SEC and to pay $40 million to the CFTC over allegedly misleading investors.

2016: It was again hit by multiple regulators over allegedly bribing Chinese officials: fined $72 million by the Department of Justice, fined $264 millionby the SEC, and $61 million by the Federal Reserve.

Bank of America (assets: $2.25 trillion):

2010: Bank of America agreed to a $108 million settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over alleged fraud associated with the financial crisis; it agreed to a $150 million settlement with the SEC over an alleged failure to disclose losses; and it agreed to a $137 million settlement with the Justice Department for allegedly rigging the municipal bond market.

Wells Fargo (assets: $1.95 trillion):

2009: The bank agreed to buy back $1.4 billion in mortgage securities in a settlement with California over allegedly misleading investors.

2010: It agreed to provide $2 billion more in relief to California.

2011: Wells Fargo agreed to a $148 million settlement with the Justice Department over alleged municipal bond rigging done by a bank it had bought (to which was added a later $37 million settlement on Wells Fargo itself); it paid $125 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over allegedly misleading investors.

Citigroup (assets: $1.82 trillion):

2011: The bank agreed to a $285 million settlement with the SEC over alleged securities fraud; it paid $158 million in a civil settlement over allegedly defrauding the government’s mortgage insurance programs.

Goldman Sachs (assets: $894.1 billion):

2010: This bank agreed to a $550 million settlement with the SEC over the notorious ABACUS deal, in which it allegedly colluded with trader John Paulson to create a security filled with toxic loans that Paulson could bet against, then sold it to a German bank without disclosing Paulson’s involvement.

2013: Goldman agreed to a $330 million settlement with the Federal Reserve over alleged foreclosure abuses.

2014: It agreed to pay Fannie and Freddie $3.15 billion in a settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Authority over alleged securities fraud.

2016: The bank agreed to a $5 billion settlement with the Department of Justice over allegedly misleading investors; it was fined $120 million by the CFTC for allegedly rigging benchmark interest rates.

This jaw-dropping list leaves out literally dozens of smaller fines and settlements with the government and private businesses and individuals. And yet, all of these banks remain wildly profitable. Finance accounts for about 8 percent of GDP and something like one-third of corporate profits. All these fines, even taken together, are basically a drop in the bucket — indeed, given how top law enforcement has worried about financial instability in the case of personal prosecutions, it’s highly likely that these settlements are designed to not exceed the banks’ ability to pay.

If we want Wall Street to stop committing so many crimes, perhaps it’s time to start personally punishing the perpetrators — and reducing the massive size of these institutions. Source

Since the global financial crisis, the world’s largest banks have agreed to pay close to $60 billion in fines just to the U.S. Department of Justice for creating and selling toxic mortgage-backed investments.

These don’t include the tens of billions that the banks have also paid in connection with lawsuits from investors or other federal agencies.

The web of complex mortgage-based financial products they created are largely to blame for creating the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, which ultimately led to the Great Recession.

The latest banks to be fined just in the last 24 hours are Germany’s Deutsche Bank (DB) and Switzerland’s Credit Suisse (CS), which agreed to multi-billion dollar settlements with the U.S. Department of Justice, worth a combined $12.5 billion.

A majority of that money will go directly towards programs designed to help homeowners and borrowers.

The Justice Department announced Thursday that its next target is British bank Barclays (BCS). It’s accusing the bank of fraudulently selling shady mortgage-backed securities that left its clients with billions of losses.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the biggest banks and their settlements with the Justice Department in the last few years, ordered from oldest to newest:

• JP Morgan (JPM) – $13 billion (2013)
• Citigroup (C) – $7 billion (2014)
• Bank of America (BAC) – $16.7 billion (2014)
• Goldman Sachs (GS) – $5.1 billion (2016)
• Morgan Stanley (MS) – $3.2 billion (2016)
• Deutsche Bank (DB) – $7.2 billion (this week)
• Credit Suisse (CS) – $5.3 billion (this week)

The fines were the result of investigations into widespread fraud and abuse in the mortgage market and were pursued by multiple U.S. government agencies.

The DoJ has said that the banks packaged poor-quality mortgages into investments and sold them to clients globally. When the mortgages soured, investors lost billions.

“Abuses in the mortgage-backed securities industry helped turn a crisis in the housing market into an international financial crisis,” said Benjamin Wagner in 2013, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California.

But these settlements don’t paint the whole picture. Banks have paid out billions from other crisis-era settlements over things like manipulating interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

They have also paid billions more to settle other mortgage-related lawsuits from that period. For example, Bank of America paid nearly $12 billion in 2012 to help settle lawsuits over wrongful foreclosures.

Earlier this year, Wells Fargo (WFC) agreed to pay $1.2 billion for shady mortgage lending practices between 2001 to 2008. This deal was also settled with the Justice Department.

John Wesley who said that what we tolerate in our generation, will be embraced by the next. Wesley is 100% correct! We are living in sick times.

HNewsWire- “All political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.” Just look at some of our modern day examples: torture is “enhanced interrogation techniques”; murder is “collateral damage”; the aggression initiation of war is a “pre-emptive strike”; the theft of taxpayers’ money is a “bailout”; and the theft of depositors’ money in a bank is a “haircut” or “bail-in”.In a blatant example of Newspeak, the New World Order controllers (through the psychiatric DSM V) have tried to rename pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons” and redefine pedophilia as a “sexual orientation”. This makes no sense, since sexual orientation has to do with gender not age, with whether you are attracted to males or females, not how old they are. There are even organizations (like B4UAct.org) which are claiming that pedophiles are being unfairly stigmatized for their feelings!

Justice is a word that stands alone, adding anything to it demeans it….

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

Children are being misplaced or lost in our foster care system, we must demand more openness and accountability from each state.

“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It’s better to stand alone with the truth, then to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, ‘If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

Proverbs 31:8 (NIV)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute

MY MISSION IS NOT TO CONVINCE YOU, ONLY TO INFORM…

Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that’s sacred….
