Problem: FDIC Bank Closure Process destroying small businessmen, killing jobs, undermining communities and slowing the economic recovery.

The FDIC and its Wall Street Hedge fund partners like Lennar, Rialto and Multibank and others are using billions of taxpayer dollars interest free to fund for profit real estate investments with all their legal bills paid by the FDIC.

This means that borrowers and landowners cannot compete with Lennar, Rialto, Multibank and others in the legal process. They are up against the deep pockets of the taxpayer competing in the courts.

It is important to understand the most small businessmen facing the attack by Lennar, Rialto and others on their personal assets were in good standing when their bank closed. Their only guilt was being in a bank closed by the FDIC.

The FDIC is continuing to close approximately 2 small local banks a week. They have closed over 100 small local banks each of the last two years. That means that thousands of additional small businessmen, landowners and borrowers are being destroyed putting a huge drag on the economy.

Hundreds of local communities are suffering as a result.

Solution:

Congress must reign in the FDIC and subject them rigorous oversight. The structured loan process must be stopped or FDIC must insist that borrowers with loans at failed banks be allowed to work out reasonable settlements where they have the resources to do so.

ALRA can help provide specifics to facilitate a closer look at the FDIC, its main partner Lennar Corp and it’s Wall Street hedge fund subsidiaries such as Rialto and Multibank.

Bottom line, an agency of the federal government (FDIC) has and is forming numerous For Profit Entities [PPIP] to liquidate notes and related real estate collateral left over from failed banks. On its face, OK, what's the problem?

These new For Profit entities are not authorized, protected or empowered by FIRREA [the federal regulation that gives the FDIC super powers] and the loan transfer documents confirm it.

The FDIC then arranges interest free loans from the US Treasury to capitalize the new private for profit LLC FDIC partners created to own the notes and operate the liquidation process.

They use low-ball fair market value valuations and then borrow 100% of that amount from the Treasury Dept. FDIC corporate guarantees the debt. They then sell a 40% interest to a "winning bidder" for pennies on the dollar, typically to a publicly-traded company like Lennar, Rialto, Multibank etc., who also guarantees their pro-rata portion of the loan.

Now we have a Wall Street company (Lennar, Rialto, Multibank and others) as 40% owner of a For Profit LLC using public funds interest free and a 100% loan with all their legal bills paid by the FDIC to shake down and foreclose on damaged borrowers (damaged when their bank failed) for additional dollars before taking the property away from them to in turn make a profit for themselves and the FDIC.

If that wasn’t enough, Rialto and other Wall Street Hedgefunds are then going after the deficiencies of the borrowers. That means taking their homes, cars and anything else they own because the borrowers often pledged personal assets to the bank to get the original loan.

The FDIC has sicked predator organizations like Lennar, Rialto and Multibank on innocent private citizen borrowers destroying them financially and guaranteeing they cannot come back and hire people and help the economy recover.

Remember that in most cases the borrowers did nothing wrong. They just happened to be doing business with a bank that was closed by the FDIC.

Also keep in mind that most borrowers in the process were making their payments and in good standing before the FDIC closed their bank.

These PPIP's (Lennar, Multibank, Rialto etc) are borrowing billions in interest free dollars from the U.S. Treasury. To make matters worse, all their legal bills are paid by the FDIC. The small businessmen cannot compete in the courts and cannot afford to hire the lawyers to stay in the game.

The FDIC has created a situation where there is no opportunity for the borrower to gain equal access to justice.
