William K. Black and L. Randall Wray call for putting the Bank of America into receivership!

How about that! Seize the bank and the government go through their books to find out what’s really going on. That’ll stand some CEO’s hair on end. It might get their attention. I’d like to see that.

I’ve talked for the last several days about my suspicion now hardening into belief that the banks do not have proof of ownership tens of thousands of foreclosures. I am not the only one who believes that.

Nothing short of removing all senior officers who directed, committed, or acquiesced in fraud can be effective against control fraud. We repeat: Foreclosure fraud is the necessary outcome of the epidemic of mortgage fraud that began early this decade. The banks that are foreclosing on fraudulently originated mortgages frequently cannot produce legitimate documents and have committed “fraud in the inducement.” Now, only fraud will let them take the homes. Many of the required documents do not exist, and those that do exist would provide proof of the fraud that was involved in loan origination, securitization, and marketing. This in turn would allow investors to force the banks to buy-back the fraudulent securities. In other words, to keep the investors at bay the foreclosing banks must manufacture fake documents. If the original documents do not exist the securities might be ruled no good. If the original docs do exist they will demonstrate that proper underwriting was not done — so the securities might be no good. Foreclosure fraud is the only thing standing between the banks and Armageddon.

I can’t say it better.
