Update on the Division of Banks/Gibbons documents.

Apparently some documents are going to be mailed out tomorrow but they haven't yet told her what the documents are, but they want her to sign a confidentiality agreement.

She will do no such thing at this point. She will start reviewing documents and sort through everything and take it from there. Sounds like a bit of a shell game to me. Where is her own file? Where are the DOB's own regulations? What's the holdup? Watch this space for updates.

Black and white in Ohio: Corrupt AG Aide serves 45 weekend days for theft, my old client gets 119 days and put in hole for disrupting a meeting.

Read this. Aide tied to Ohio AG scandal sentenced to 45 days
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
A one-time aide (Anthony Gutierrez) who helped bring about the downfall of former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has been sentenced to 45 days on an unrelated theft-in-office charge and other counts......

He was also involved in a sex scandal that killed Marc Dann, and he also smashed up cars and got them fixed without reporting it.
Take a look to read what happened to Jerry Doyle.

Martha Coakley's Mass Division of Banks refuses to produce documents while moving to permanently revoke Catherine Gibbons' Broker's License.

I sent a copy of this post to the Division of Banks using a link in this story. As noted last Friday, Miracle Mortgage, by and through Catherine Gibbons issued a request for public documents to the Division of Banks approximately 7 weeks ago. With respect to a hearing that the Division is trying to hold on or before January 11, 2010, the Superior Court stated on Friday:
"It would seem to me that production [of the documents] should occur no later than next week."

But when I appeared at today's hearing at the Division of Banks South Station headquarters there were no documents for her but the Division and its attorneys steadfastly held to their position that Ms. Gibbons -- who had a "1" rating before she was punished for doing Stated Income Deals -- should lose her Broker's License forever. The Hearing Officer this morning told Ms. Gibbons
"You've lost your livelihood for 9 months and I don't take that lightly."

Wait until he sees the file, what with them falsely accusing her of being a convicted felon and such.

I read Ms. Gibbons' document requests and they included, inter alia, a request for her own file, and for the Division's policies and procedures. Why these documents have not been produced at this time is beyond me. Last Friday their counsel stated that they did have many of the documents ready to be produced, yet again today there were indeed no documents produced. Be that as it may, the Hearing Officer today ORDERED the Division to provide him a list of the documents that it agrees are public so that Ms. Gibbons may issue her supplemental Answer within the next two (2) weeks. Ms. Gibbons informed me that The Division's Dennis Otis told her that they do allow Stated Deals. The Division of Banks actually had guidelines on how to structure Stated Income Deals, so she obviously wants to know how and why her Stated Income Deals were considered "Fraudulent."

Martha Coakley's Mass Division of Banks defends falsely calling black female broker a "convicted felon" and failing to produce documents.

NOTE: Ms. Gibbons will appear on "The Nation Speaks" radio program tomorrow morning at 6:30am at TOUCH 106.1 FM.
The Massachusetts Division of Banks issued Miracle Mortgage a Cease and Desist Order, along the way alleging that she was a convicted felon. In point of fact, the charges against her were dismissed and the file sealed. The Division still maintained its position despite the dismissal and an accompanying Affidavit from her counsel. Ms. Gibbons had a #1 rating as a broker.

She has been forced to attend conferences and hearings that were adversarial in nature without any paperwork or notice that she could have counsel. She has requested material documents from the Division 6 weeks ago and they have failed to produce a single document or a Good Faith cost estimate. In a hearing this afternoon for Injunctive relief to make the Division produce documents before Monday's scheduled conference the Court held that it did not have jurisdiction because in essence Ms. Gibbons' status as a Respondent in an adversarial administrative action trumps her right to receive even a Good Faith Cost estimate within 10 days of her Public Records Request. Ms. Gibbons will have to wait until the Final Adjudicative Order before joining the current public records lawsuit with one for her Constitutional Deprivations.

So on behalf of the Station I will issue the same requests and their counsel Tory Kim will have to answer me within 10 days, as per Law.

With respect to a hearing that the Division is trying to hold on or before January 11, 2010, the Court stated:
"It would seem to me that production [of the documents] should occur no later than next week."

Furthermore, Ms. Gibbons' separate complaint before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) alleges that the Division of Banks has targeted her as one of only 3 black female brokers, while allowing white owned and operated broker firm and banks to go unscathed even though she was following their own procedures on Stated Income Mortgages.

She cites the case of Fidelity Guarantee Mortgage Corporation v. T Reben, 809 F2d 931 (1987) as illustrative. Vermont put them out of business with a Cease and Desist Order. In that case, the Court of Appeals affirmed a finding that the lower court held that a Civil Rights Conspiracy lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. 1985 was frivolous, and it taxed costs against Fidelity for a frivolous appeal as well.

Further, I am verifying an allegation that Fidelity Principal Herb Jacobs was convicted and sentenced to jail time.
*******
But what happened when complaints were filed with the Division of Banks against Fidelity (a Caucasian-owned business) in the Greater Boston area after these problems?

Answer: Nothing, really. Fidelity filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy during Ms. Gibbons' trial against them and East-West Mortgage for Fraud. But the Division did set out to issue a Cease and Desist against HER The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination complaint will be hosted at this post upon receipt.

Here is Martha Coakely testifying in October in favor of passage of SB 1848, a bill she co-sponsored to promote fairness and accountability in the Mortgage industry. Perhaps she should review the existing case file on Catherine Gibbons/Miracle Mortgage and go from there.

Senate hopeful Mike Capuano visits Grove Hall -- unlike his opponents or the major media, they stay away in droves.

I cannot directly endorse anyone on behalf of the station, but let's just say I like Mike for his stance on open government, Civil Rights and liberties. As to major media it's odd that a 6-Term Congressman and Contender for U.S. Senate shows up to meet the people and the only motion picture cameras are the ones shown here.

I just happened to be across the street at the station for my weekly KingCast Cases so I had my iPhone with me to capture the essence. Councilor Arroyo at large paid a visit and you can see Senator Owens and Councilor Yancey as well. It was a decent turnout, I took the camera picture early on so the seats filled up, actually.

TOUCH 106.1 continues investigation into malfeasant government agencies: The Division of Banks.

Fidelity Guarantee Mortgage Corporation v. T Reben, 809 F2d 931 (1987).
"Fidelity, a Massachusetts corporation authorized to do business in Maine, opened an office in Portland, Maine, in February of 1980 for the purpose of dealing in residential mortgage loans. In July 1980, the superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection, Barbara Reid Alexander, notified Fidelity pursuant to Me.Rev.Stat.Ann. tit. 9-A, Sec. 6-108 that it was in violation of Maine law prohibiting charging interest in excess of 12.25% on consumer loans without Bureau approval. Alexander issued a cease and desist order at the same time. Between June and September 1980, thirty consumer actions were brought against Fidelity in the federal district court based on its violation of Maine law."

In the above case, the Court of Appeals affirmed a finding that the lower court held that a Civil Rights Conspiracy lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. 1985 was frivolous, and it taxed costs against Fidelity for a frivolous appeal as well.

Further, I am verifying an allegation that Fidelity Principal Herb Jacobs was convicted and sentenced to jail time.

But what happened when complaints were filed with the Division of Banks against Fidelity (a Caucasian-owned business) in the Greater Boston area after these problems?

Answer: Nothing, really. But the Division did set out to issue a Cease and Desist against a black female broker (one of only 3 in the State) who complained about Fidelity. She alleges retaliation and has filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. Stay tuned for details when we receive a copy of the Complaint and her request for public information that was drawn last week.

High Court Single Justice orders Prosecutor Scheibel to hand over five (5) years of allegedly racist prosecution files at UMASS Amherst.

See: justiceforjason.org.

Here is the background on how two drunken white men shattered UMass student Jason Vassell's window, taunted him with racial slurs and threats of violence, stormed in his dorm building, broke his nose and got a slap on the wrist while Mr. Vassell has the proverbial book thrown at him for using a pocket knife to fend them off. Read the comments for more, and a comment from Vassell's Attorney David P. Hoose.

Here's today's WBZ coverage.

Boston (AP) -- A single justice on the state's highest court has ruled that a former University of Massachusetts student charged with stabbing two men in his dorm can see five years worth of prosecutor's records.

Lawyers for Jason Vassell requested the records from the Northwestern District Attorney's office to determine whether there is a pattern of racially-tinged prosecutions.

NOTE: This is all part of an ongoing investigation and report that TOUCH 106.1 FM will be conducting into the discriminatory and otherwise malfeasant properties of high level government agencies, including Prosecutors and the Division of Banks. We will be at every Court hearing and we will tell the Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth.
