“Lorraine Brown participated in a scheme to fabricate mortgage-related documents at the height of the financial crisis,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. “She was responsible for more than a million fraudulent documents entering the system, directing company employees to forge and falsify documents relied on by property recorders, title insurers and others. Appropriately, she now faces the prospect of prison time.”

How much prison time for running an enormous nationwide forgery business that resulted in millions of illegal foreclosures?

"Brown will be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than two years and not to exceed three years in the Missouri Department of Corrections."

Under the agreement, Ms. Brown will plead guilty to one felony count of forgery, one felony count of perjury, and one misdemeanor count of making a false declaration.

The banks that used these forgeries to foreclose are not mentioned or charged with any wrong doing.

And have to pay back any money people lost .......... that would be fair

3. It's a start.

A pleasing start at that.
Onward and upward. The more the better. Stiff penalties. Complete disclosure.
The ball is rolling.
