Los Angeles, January 5 – recent news reports indicate that a “team of Bank of America officials is scrambling to investigate its own documents and executives' hard drives in an effort to be prepared, should WikiLeaks release devastating materials about the bank.” [1,2]
However, evidence of criminality by Bank of America and its senior executives in collusion with the state and US courts is abundant even prior to the WikiLeaks anticipated release. [1, 3]
US media have so far hesitated to report on the matter, and it remains questionable to what degree US media would report the anticipated WikiLeaks release of Bank of America records as well. [4]
In particular, US media refuse to report on the tight linkage between alleged corruption of Bank of America and its senior executives and alleged misconduct in the state and US courts:
The evidence is abundant of misconduct in foreclosure proceedings in the state courts across the United States. Such proceedings are routinely conducted in the absence of valid loan records. [5]
Fraud and abuse are rampant on the part of loan modification consultants and attorneys as well, and the California Attorney General requires that attorneys and consultants, who wish to protect individuals in such allegedly perverted court proceedings, post a $100,000 bond. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against attorneys, who protect individuals against financial institutions. As a result, California homeowners are left with little protection. [6]
In Florida the state courts protect law firms, who filed fabricated loan records in foreclosure proceedings on behalf of mortgage companies, against law enforcement by the Florida Attorney General. [7]
Human Rights Alert has also released compelling evidence of racketeering by Bank of America and its senior executives in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, and the protection of such conduct by the US District Court, Central District of California. Accordingly, Human Rights Alert called for impeachment proceedings against US Judge Virginia Phillips and the US District Clerk Terry Nafisi. [9]
SEC and the US Controller of the Currency also refuse to take action against Bank of America relative to alleged racketeering at the State of California and US courts. [8]
Moreover, Human Rights Alert published evidence of the conduct of pretense litigation in SEC v Bank of America Corporation in the US District Court, Southern District of New York, and accordingly called for impeachment proceedings against US Judge Jed Rakoff and Clerk Ruby Krajick. [10] The litigation was repeatedly covered by US mainstream media outlet, falsely reported as valid litigation. [11, 12]
The April 2010 Human Rights Alert submission to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations focused on financial institutions fraud in the courts (and separately – on large-scale false imprisonments). The submission was incorporated into the official staff report of the HRC with reference to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession”. [13]
Conditions in the state and US courts today are similar to those that prevailed a century ago, during the notorious Robber Baron Era, and the economic and social outcomes are similar as well. [1,14]
