Judges Comments

Did the Judge harm many of the American public by not having a criminal investigation? The Judiciary is self policing and must turn in crimes that are brought to there attention.

Bernard; Megan M. Davidson; Eric Ferren; Stephen Fortunato; and Donald Wilhelm
(collectively, the “Defendants”).
Plaintiffs make the allegations in this Complaint based upon personal knowledge as to
matters concerning Plaintiffs and their own acts, and upon information and belief as to all other
matters. This information is derived from the investigation by Plaintiffs’ counsel, which has
included a review and analysis of annual reports and publicly filed documents, reports of
governmental investigations by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (the “FCIC”), the United States Department of
Justice (the “DOJ”), the United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (the
“PSI”), and numerous investigations by other federal and state governmental units, as well as
press releases, news articles, analysts’ statements, conference call transcripts and presentations,
and transcripts from speeches and remarks given by Defendants. In addition, Plaintiffs’ counsel
conferred with counsel for other Plaintiffs who have filed other complaints against these
Defendants based on the same or similar activities. Based on the foregoing, Plaintiffs believe
that substantial additional evidentiary support exists for the allegations herein, which Plaintiffs
will find after a reasonable opportunity for discovery.

SUMMARY OF ALLEGATIONS

1. This action arises out of Plaintiffs’ purchases of certain residential mortgagebacked securities (“RMBS”), as evidenced in the form of “Certificates”, in reliance on the false
and misleading statements that were made by Defendants. Based on these material misrepresentations and omissions, Plaintiffs purchased securities that were far riskier than had
been represented, backed by mortgage loans worth significantly less than had been represented,
and that had been made to borrowers who were much less creditworthy than had been
represented.
2. The securities purchased by Plaintiffs were collateralized against mortgages
originated and/or acquired by Defendants JPMorgan Bank, EMC, and non-defendants such as
Bear Stearns Residential Mortgage Corporation (“BSRMC”); Performance Credit Corp. f/k/a
Encore Credit Corp. (“Encore”); Long Beach Mortgage (“Long Beach”); and Washington
Mutual Bank (“WaMu Bank”), as well as various other third-party originators defined in ¶107
below (collectively the “Originators”).
3. These Originators did not, however, hold the mortgage loans they originated
and/or acquired. Rather, taking advantage of an unprecedented boom in the securitization
industry, these Originators flipped their mortgage loans to investment banks, which then
repackaged the loans and sold the loans as RMBS to investors seeking safe investments, such as
Plaintiffs. In the case of the loans underlying Plaintiffs’ Certificates, the entities that sold the
RMBS were JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns, WaMu and Long Beach. Specifically, each of these
entities pooled the mortgage loans made by the Originators; deposited the loans into special
purpose entities or “trusts”; and then repackaged the loans for sale to investors in the form of
RMBS. In nearly every case, an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns or WaMu was one of
the underwriters that prepared the Offering Documents and sold the RMBS to investors such as
Plaintiffs.
4. The Certificates entitled investors to receive monthly distributions of interest and
principal on cash flows from the mortgages held by the trusts. The Certificates issued by each
trust were divided into several classes (or “tranches”) that had different seniority, priorities of payment, exposure to default, and interest payment provisions. Rating agencies, such as DBRS,
Inc. (“DBRS”), Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), and Standard
& Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”),1
and/or rated the investment quality of all tranches of
Certificates based upon information provided by the Defendants about the quality of the
mortgages in each mortgage pool and the seniority of the Certificate among the various
Certificates issued by each trust. These ratings, in part, determined the price at which these
Certificates were offered to investors.
5. In selling the Certificates, the Defendants prepared and filed with the SEC certain
registration statements (the “Registration Statements”), prospectuses (the “Prospectuses”),
prospectus supplements (the “Prospectus Supplements”, and free writing prospectuses (the “Free
Writing Prospectuses”, and together with the Registration Statements, Prospectuses, and
Prospectus Supplements, the “Offering Documents”). In these Offering Documents, Defendants
repeatedly touted the strength of the Originators’ underwriting guidelines and standards; the fact
that the underwriting guidelines and standards were designed to ensure the ability of the
borrowers to repay the principal and interest on the underlying loans and the adequacy of the
collateral; and that the mortgages underlying the Certificates were originated in accordance with
those stated underwriting guidelines and standards. In addition, in the Offering Documents,
Defendants repeatedly assured investors as to the soundness of the appraisals used to arrive at the
value of the underlying properties and specifically represented that the real estate collateralizing
the loans had been subjected to objective and independent real estate appraisals that complied
with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) and, in some cases,
that they met the even more rigorous appraisal requirements of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”).
Defendants emphasized their quality control procedures such as re-underwriting of a random
selection of mortgage loans, conducting post-funding audits of origination files, and/or reverifying information to assure asset quality.
6. Defendants JPMorgan, Bear Stearns, WaMu, and Long Beach (as defined in ¶¶
33, 49, 71) were obligated to perform due diligence on the mortgage loans they acquired from
third parties. Defendants represented in the Offering Documents, which Plaintiffs relied on, that
they performed such due diligence and undertook certain quality control measures to ensure that
shoddily underwritten mortgages were not included in the Certificates they underwrote and sold.
See, e.g., Prospectus Supplement for WMALT Series 2006-9 Trust (Form 424B5), at S-29 (Oct.
27, 2006): “The sponsor’s credit risk oversight department conducts a credit, appraisal, and
compliance review of adverse samplings (and, in some cases, statistical samplings) of mortgage
loans prior to purchase from unaffiliated mortgage loan sellers.”
7. As set forth below, the Offering Documents contained material misstatements and
omitted material information. Contrary to Defendants’ assurances, the Originators of the
underlying loans had not followed their touted underwriting guidelines and standards when
originating and/or acquiring the mortgage loans. To the contrary, the Originators had engaged in
a wholesale and systematic abandonment of their underwriting guidelines, thereby granting
mortgage loans to borrowers who did not satisfy the eligibility criteria as described in the
Offering Documents. In addition, the mortgages underlying the Certificates had been extended
based on collateral appraisals that were not performed in accordance with USPAP or Fannie Mae
or Freddie Mac, so that the value of the underlying properties had been overstated, thereby
exposing investors such as Plaintiffs to additional losses in the event of foreclosure. Defendants did not apply rigorous quality control procedures to uncover these lapses, and when they learned
of such lapses, they deliberately overlooked them.
8. Defendants’ conduct with respect to mortgage-backed securities has also been
detailed in both the January 27, 2011, Final Report of the National Commission on the Causes of
the Financial and Economic Crisis in the United States (the “FCIC Report”) and the April 13,
2011, report issued by the PSI, chaired by Senator Carl Levin, entitled WALL STREET AND THE
FINANCIAL CRISIS: ANATOMY OF A FINANCIAL COLLAPSE (the “Levin Report”). Both reports and
their supporting testimony and exhibits have shed significant light on the extent to which
Defendants intentionally securitized bad mortgage loans and sold them to investors like
Plaintiffs. Numerous other investigations have been launched by the DOJ, the SEC, and various
state Attorneys General.
9. The practices of financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Bear Stearns, WaMu,
and Long Beach and their role in inflating the housing bubble have been and continue to be the
subject of intense regulatory scrutiny. On May 21, 2011, the WALL STREET JOURNAL reported
that New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman had requested informal meetings with
executives from several financial firms, including JPMorgan, as part of an investigation by his
office into mortgage practices and the packaging and sale of loans to investors.
10. On October 2, 2011, the NEW YORK TIMES reported that the New York Attorney
General rejected a proposed nationwide settlement worth more than $20 billion that would also
grant full immunity, from future prosecution, to financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Bear
Stearns, WaMu, and Long Beach, and their control persons. Attorney General Schneiderman
stated he believes that the losses caused by investment banks are far greater than the proposed
settlement amount and he is unwilling to release these financial institutions from liability
resulting from future investigations. The New York Attorney General’s office has since joined forces with Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden to “pursue a wider-ranging probe into Wall
Street's role in the mortgage meltdown,” and the attorneys general of Kentucky, Minnesota and
Nevada have expressed criticism of the proposed settlement—calling it weak and inappropriately
favorable to the banks.
11. On February 29, 2012, JPMorgan Chase announced that it is under investigation
and may face a civil suit by the SEC regarding whether the firm misled investors in offerings of
mortgage-backed securities. Specifically, the SEC has requested information relating to JP
Morgan’s due diligence and disclosures for certain mortgage-backed securities transactions, and
settlements of claims against the originators of loans that JPMorgan unit Bear Stearns Cos. Inc.
packaged into securities.
12. As a result of the untrue statements and omissions in the Offering Documents,
Plaintiffs purchased Certificates that were far riskier than represented and that were not
equivalent to other investments with the same credit ratings. As the truth regarding Defendants'
misrepresentations and omissions has come to light, the rating agencies have responded by
significantly downgrading the Certificates purchased by Plaintiffs. The Certificates, therefore,
are no longer marketable at anywhere near the purchase prices paid by Plaintiffs. As a
consequence, Plaintiffs have suffered losses on their purchases of the Certificates.
13. Defendants JPMorgan, Bear Stearns, WaMu, and Long Beach knew about the
poor quality of the loans they securitized and sold to investors like Plaintiffs, because in order to
continue to keep their scheme running, they completely vertically integrated their RMBS
operations by having affiliated entities at every stage of the process. In addition, Defendants
JPMorgan, Bear Stearns, WaMu, and Long Beach were aware of lending abuses on the part of
the third party originators they purchased loans from due to, inter alia, their financial ties to the
third party originators and their reviews of loan documentation and performance.
