1. So, how many of the criminals are going to jail?

How many of the victims will be made whole in the settlement?

2. Why is Holder announcing it?

7. How so? (eom)

9. $2,000 per instance of fraud. People get in more trouble for unpaid parking tickets.

Suck it up America, you voted for this!

[KansDem]

3. I'll bet the bankers are watching...and smiling

Pop the champagne, fellows...nobody's going to jail!

But, get caught smoking a doobie and you're in prison!!!

6. Not true. From the other thread..

The deal protects banks from state and federal lawsuits pertaining to some foreclosure fraud abuses, including robo-signing. However, Schneidermann’s lawsuit against three big banks for allegedly fraudulent use of a mortgage database will go forward. In addition, “individual homeowners retain private rights of action to sue over foreclosure fraud and other abuses.”
