Sehr nützlich information. Fraud RMBS sind wie ein riesiger Eisberg.Niemand weiss genau, wohin diese Reise gehen wird.
Einst aber Klar! Diese Problematik wird schnell wie möglich gelöst werden. http://www.cnbc.com/id/40897240 WHAT OTHER INVESTORS ARE ASKING BANKS TO REPURCHASE MORTGAGES? Some of the biggest U.S. investors, including Pacific Investment Management Co, BlackRock Inc and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are attacking Bank of America and others over parts of the more than $2 trillion market for mortgages in bonds outside of government programs. WHAT IS POTENTIAL COST OF PUT-BACKS FOR BANKS? Banks could face losses of $20 billion to $33 billion from buyback requests from the GSEs, according to Paul Miller, an FBR Capital Markets analyst who said Monday's settlement fits within that loss scenario. Total losses banks may face on loans in private-label mortgage bonds likely start at $35 billion and may rise as high as $73 billion, Miller said. Amherst Securities Group, a specialty mortgage broker-dealer, sees losses on loans in private mortgage bonds issued from just 2005 to 2007 theoretically reaching $98.86 billion -- including $18.82 billion by Bank of America WHAT HAVE PRIVATE LABEL INVESTORS REQUESTED SO FAR? Pimco, BlackRock, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Freddie Mac and others have threatened Bank of America with litigation over $16.5 billion in bonds that they control, citing a failure of BofA's servicing unit to pursue put-backs. In an apparent about-face from earlier intentions to fight, BofA in December said it was negotiating with the investors. Other investors who have aggregated positions on more than $600 billion in bonds through an RMBS Clearinghouse developed by Dallas lawyer Talcott Franklin are pressuring bond trustees and servicers to follow up on put-back requests. WHAT HAS BANK OF AMERICA SAID ON MORTGAGE PUT-BACK EXPOSURE? In October, Bank of America said it was two-thirds of the way through GSE-related repurchases and had bought back $11.4 billion in mortgages from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It said during its third-quarter earnings presentation it had received $8.7 billion in repurchase requests from outside investors and monoline insurers, on $910 billion in mortgage bonds sold to those two groups during the housing boom. BofA has said cases against the bank "generally allege that the offering documents for more than $375 billion of securities issued by hundreds of securitization trusts contained material misrepresentations and omissions. WHAT OTHER BANKS HAVE SIGNIFICANT PUT-BACK EXPOSURE? Along with Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc and Wells Fargo & Co will shoulder about 40 percent of losses to the industry, according to FBR Capital Markets' Miller. The four banks have already provisioned for $16 billion, or 75 percent of FBR's forecast of the banks' losses, he noted. Other financial companies on FBR's list of firms with large put-back exposures are H&R Block Inc, Morgan Stanley , SunTrust Banks, PNC Financial Services, First Horizon National Corp and U.S. Bancorp.

While $3.3 billion -- including a similar settlement last month with Ally Financial -- is a large figure in dollar terms, in percentage terms, the settlements are a tiny fraction of the more than $5 trillion in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the two entities. Fannie Mae has also reserved the right to bring future claims against Bank of America |
