14 STATEMENT OF THE CASE

15 This case arises because the Plaintiffs were the victims of unlawful and wrongful

16 foreclosures and/or an underlying conspiracy to commit fraud that resulted in

17 foreclosures by the Defendants on the Plaintiffs’ homes or, the Defendants are threatening
18 in the near future to foreclose on the homes of the Plaintiffs. These foreclosures were, and
19
are, based upon a deed of trust and a note in each mortgage that are no longer held by the
20
same entity or party and are based upon deeds of trust that were flawed at the date of
21
origination of the loan because the Mortgage Electronic Registration Service (MERS) was
22
named as the beneficiary or nominee of the lender on the deeds of trust and because the
23
naming of MERS as the beneficiary was done for the purpose of harming the borrower.
24
The beneficiaries were never intended to be the lenders and now the servicer bank
25
Defendants declared the default on these loans even though the true beneficiaries have

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-5


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 1 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 6 of 40

1 not declared a default and have no further interest in the notes and, finally, the

2 obligations reflected by the notes executed by Plaintiffs allegedly secured by the MERS
3 deeds of trust have been satisfied with the result that there exists no obligation on which
4 to base any foreclosure on the properties owned by the Plaintiffs and the members of the
5
class. Defendants have attempted to foreclose and have actually foreclosed when they do
6
not have a lawful right to foreclose.
7
The bank REO Plaintiffs have been subjected to unlawful and wrongful foreclosure
8
of their residential properties and bring this action for emergency injunctive relief,
9
damages and other claims for relief in order to enjoin the Defendants who purport to have
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

acquired title at foreclosure sales on MERS and MERS member Deeds of Trust. Plaintiffs
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

who have been subjected to foreclosure seek damages for the known unlawful foreclosures
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 by Defendants on those fraudulent Deeds of Trust and on obligations that have been

14 satisfied prior to the foreclosure actions by Defendants complained of herein. Other than

15 the REO Plaintiffs, the remainder of the Plaintiffs are at imminent risk of losing their

16 homes because either (1) one or more of the Defendants has served upon those Plaintiffs a

17 notice of default and election to sell the Plaintiffs’ properties or (2) the Plaintiffs are
18 alleged by one or more Defendants to be in default and subject to foreclosure and loss of
19
their homes, and those Plaintiffs hereby seek emergency injunctive relief and damages.
20
Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all other persons similarly situated
21
whose homes have been fraudulently and/or unlawfully foreclosed upon by Defendants
22
on MERS and MERS Deeds of Trust and/or on obligations that were satisfied, each such
23
foreclosure having been commenced and advanced in furtherance of the conspiracy
24
pursuant to which every Defendant herein aided and abetted, and/or participated with
25
and/or conspired with the other named Defendants in the wrongful course of conduct or

residential property of the Plaintiffs and are hereinafter referred to as “Foreclosers.”


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 GENERAL ALLEGATIONS

14 106. In the United States, home purchases are typically financed by mortgages or
15 loans that are secured by a deed of trust and a note which, when executed on behalf of the
16
same entity and held by the same entity as a “note and deed of trust,” entitle the holder of
17
the note and deed of trust to foreclose on the property of the borrower if the borrower is in
18
default without legal excuse or recourse.
19
107. A reported 3 million foreclosures occurred in the U.S. in 2008. Foreclosures
20
to date during calendar year 2009 are at a higher rate than that which occurred during
21
2008, with 1 in 16 homes in the State of Nevada going into foreclosure during the first six
22
months of 2009.
23
24 108. From 2003 through 2008, the Defendants entered into mortgages with

25 deeds of trust and notes that were separated after the execution of the mortgage, the note

was sold to an investor who literally and actually provided the funds for the loan given to
Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-46
Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 7 of 40

1 the borrower. Prior to or immediately after the contract was signed by the borrower, the

2 note was funded by a party other than the originator or servicer of the loan.
3 109. Plaintiffs separately executed deeds of trust naming MERS as the beneficiary
4 and/or nominee of the beneficiary/lender.
5
110. Plaintiffs also separately executed notes payable to Lenders as alleged
6
herein. None of the notes contained any reference to MERS.
7
111. The notes and the deeds of trust require that payment be made to the
8
Lender, not to MERS.
9
112. The notes executed by Plaintiffs were separated from the deeds of trust after
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

the execution by Plaintiffs of those documents, with the note being transferred to
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

investors whose money had funded the loan taken out by the Plaintiff/borrower.
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 113. The Servicer defendants herein furnished none of the funding for the loans

14 but were merely transfer agents for money from the investors to loans taken by the

15 borrowers. Simultaneously with or immediately after the loan was taken out by the

16 borrower, the obligation reflected by the note was satisfied by monies provided by the

17 investor who then obtained ownership of and right to payment under the terms of the
18 note. These investors are the only parties to whom an obligation arose after the loans
19
were securitized, and are the only proper parties to later declare a default and to have a
20
right to direct a sale if the Plaintiffs did not make payments as required under the terms of
21
the note.
22
114. The Mortgage Electronic Registration Service was created by the Defendants
23
identified herein as co-conspirators in relation to the MERS system with the specific
24
intent that MERS, Inc. or MERSCORP, Inc. or MERS (referred to collectively herein as
25
“MERS”) would be named the beneficiary and/or as the nominee of the lender on the

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-47


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 8 of 40

1 deeds of trust which Plaintiffs were induced into signing. However, MERS was not a

2 nominee for the lender because the lender was an investor who had provided the funds for
3 the loan. This fact was known to MERS and the purported lender and the subsequent
4 assignee of any and all rights purported to have been assigned by MERS at the time the
5
note and deed of trust were signed by the Plaintiffs and at the time of each and every such
6
later purported assignment by MERS of any interest in the note and deed of trust.
7
115. The foreclosures complained of herein were initiated against Plaintiffs by
8
parties who have and had no standing to commence or maintain any foreclosure
9
proceeding, both by the express language of the deeds of trust which required that the
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

beneficiary/party owed the obligation declare the default and direct the sale, and by the
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

laws governing the commencement and advancement of foreclosure proceedings which


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 require the true beneficiary to declare such default and direct such sale.

14 116. The servicers of the loans, named as Servicer defendants herein, were

15 strangers to the purported loan transactions and which parties were and are unknown to

16 Plaintiffs and, moreover, did not fund the Plaintiffs’ loans and are not owed any of the

17 funds to be repaid by Plaintiffs, and do not stand to suffer any loss should they be
18 enjoined from foreclosing on the Plaintiffs’ homes or from selling the alleged REO’s at
19
issue herein.
20
117. The foreclosures named as Forecloser Defendants herein, on Plaintiffs’
21
homes complained of herein were initiated by Forecloser Defendants, who had and have
22
no lawful right to initiate, advance or maintain any foreclosure action against the
23
Plaintiffs or their homes.
24
118. All Defendants knew or should have known that prior to the time that the
25
loans were taken out by Plaintiffs at issue herein, the loans which named MERS on the

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-48


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 9 of 40

1 deeds of trust were securitized or intended to be securitized prior to the preparation of the

2 notes and deeds of trust reflecting each such loan.


3 119. Defendants also knew or should have known that the scheme employed by all
4 Defendants involved in the origination, aggregation and securitization of mortgage-
5
backed loans originated from 2003 through 2008 and secured by real property in the
6
United States included financial incentives which were designed to result in the loans
7
being written on terms which were likely or certain to result in foreclosure, and that the
8
scheme described herein included financial incentives designed to motivate appraisers,
9
mortgage brokers, lenders, aggregator banks and securitizing banks to steer borrowers
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

into loans they could not afford and could not repay so that the loans would go into
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

default and the Defendants involved in servicing, aggregating and securitizing those loans
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 could make yet more profits from default, foreclosure and selling the properties at or after

14 foreclosure.

15 120. The financial incentives mentioned in the previous paragraphs included

16 without limitation the hiring only of appraisers who were financially incentivized to

17 appraise properties at a value that would justify the loan requested, the payment to
18 mortgage brokers of higher fees for sub-prime and sub-sub-prime loans than for prime
19
loans and the use of novel and unprecedented underwriting criteria such as stated income
20
and 100% or more financing of the purchase price, and the purchase of loans from
21
lenders by aggregators and servicers of loans at more than face value if the loans were
22
sub-prime or sub-sub-prime and in particular if such loans also included an adjustable
23
interest rate and/or a pre-payment penalty.
24
121. All Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the
25
Plaintiffs’ loans knew or should have known at the time of those actions by Defendants

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-49


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 10 of 40

1 that the financial incentives described in the previous paragraph herein were not disclosed

2 to the investor or to the Plaintiffs/borrowers, and that the Defendants who originated,
3 serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the Plaintiffs’ loans also purchased credit default
4 swaps which were essentially bets that the Plaintiffs’ loans would fail, resulting in multiple
5
payments to those Defendants of the face amount of the loan, and knew or should have
6
known that fact was also concealed from the investors and Plaintiffs who were instead
7
intentionally misled by Defendants to believe that the Plaintiffs qualified for the loans
8
under residential loan underwriting standards previously used in the industry.
9
122. All Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated and/or securitized the
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

Plaintiffs’ loans knew or should have known at the time of those actions by Defendants
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

that the more likely or certain the loan was to fail, the more likely that failure was to cause
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 the entire mortgage-backed security pool which included Plaintiffs’ loan to fail, and the

14 more profitable those events would be to Defendants.

15 123. Under the securities and federal banking laws, rules and regulations, the

16 investors and the borrowers were entitled to information regarding all of the profits,

17 payments, kick-backs, fees and insurance and credit default swaps related to the
18 transaction which included the investors providing the funds loaned to the borrower, and
19
the concealment of those facts by all the Defendants who originated, serviced, aggregated
20
and/or securitized the Plaintiffs’ loans was an intentional misrepresentation and/or
21
intentional material omission of fact by those Defendants for the purpose of using the
22
borrowers’ signatures on notes and deeds of trust to defraud the investors, the borrowers,
23
the insurers of loans, the issuers of credit default swaps and eventually the government
24
whom those Defendants, upon information and belief, falsely told that the Defendants
25

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-50


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 11 of 40

1 were in dire need of trillions of dollars in federal funds due to “toxic assets” being

2 allegedly on the books of Defendants.


3 124. The Defendants named as conspirators herein never owned any of the
4 Plaintiffs’ loans or the loans of others similarly situated naming MERS as beneficiary, and
5
the representations from September 2008, to the present, by the Bank Defendants to the
6
government that those Defendants were in dire need of government bailout funds from
7
the Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve due to defaults on mortgage loans
8
were intentional falsehoods designed to defraud the government and the American
9
taxpayers.
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

125. All Defendants participated in a conspiracy to cause Plaintiffs to enter into


11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

instruments that would result in the foreclosure of their homes and to initiate foreclosure
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 on Plaintiffs’ homes without the lawful right to do so or to commence and advance

14 foreclosures against Plaintiffs with knowledge that the Plaintiffs had been deceived by

15 having not been informed that the loans they took out were designed and intended to

16 result in foreclosure and consequently more profits to the Defendants. As a proximate

17 and direct result, Defendants have been unjustly enriched by the payments of the
18 Plaintiffs on the notes and by the profits earned by Defendants from the declaration of
19
default, the commencement and advancement of foreclosure, and/or the foreclosure sale
20
of Plaintiffs’ properties.
21
126. The lenders and investors in mortgage-backed securities, the Defendants
22
Lenders and Securitizers previously named herein, have obtained bailout money from the
23
United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve in the amount of trillions of dollars for
24
the stated purpose of compensating the lenders and investors for losses sustained due to
25
the alleged default in on residential mortgage loans including those of Plaintiffs.

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-51


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 2 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 12 of 40

1 127. The lenders as referred to above and investors in mortgage-backed securities,

2 including, have used those funds to repay credit default swaps, to repay investors who
3 funded Plaintiffs’ loans and/or to settle the lawsuits of those investors against the
4 securitizing banks for fraud, including those Defendants previously named as securitizers
5
and servicers, with such use of those funds having extinguished the obligation reflected by
6
the notes, the right to collect on the notes, and the right to initiate foreclosures on
7
Plaintiffs’ homes.
8
128. Each and every Plaintiff has a deed of trust that states that the beneficiary
9
and/or beneficiary as the nominee of the lender is MERS, and each and every Plaintiff has
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

been or is likely to be declared in default by a party not entitled to declare the default.

129. The entities that are giving notice that they will foreclose on the homes of the
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 Plaintiffs are not MERS and are not the lenders that originated the deeds of trust and are

14 not the parties that funded the loans of the Plaintiffs.

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-79

1 139. Plaintiffs incorporate each and every paragraph of this Complaint as if fully

2 set forth in this claim.


3 140. An assignment of an obligation under a mortgage, the note, operates as an
4 assignment of the mortgage.
5
141. The assignment of the obligations or notes of the Plaintiffs to the investors by
6
way of mortgage backed securities resulted in a co-mingling of the notes and no interest in
7
the note or deed of trust was retained by the lender or by MERS as beneficiary or nominee
8
of the lender.
9
142. The obligations of the Plaintiffs on which the Defendants have declared a
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

default were discharged when the investors in the mortgage backed securities claims were
11

paid as a result of over-collateralization of the obligations and/or credit default swaps


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 and/or federal bailout funds and other monies paid to the investors who owned the notes

14 and obligations and/or to the Defendants or bank holding companies who disbursed the

15 monies in such fashion as to extinguish the obligations of Plaintiffs to repay the monies

16 they borrowed which are at issue herein.

17 143. Neither the investors in the mortgage backed securities nor any other entity
18 or person who had a right to payment from the borrowers or was a beneficiary under the
19
deeds of trust ever declared a default of the notes executed by Plaintiffs.
20
144. No true beneficiary under the deed of trust ever declared a default under the
21
note and deed of trust.
22
145. No true and no beneficiary under the deed of trust ever directed a sale of any
23
of the properties owned by Plaintiffs in which MERS is named as beneficiary or nominee
24
of the beneficiary/lender at issue in this action.

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-80


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 1 of 30

1 146. The servicers of the notes have no contract with the Plaintiffs, no investment

2 in the mortgage backed securities, and no right to declare a default on the note and the
3 allegations by the servicers including the Defendants herein in the notices of default and
4 election to sell the Plaintiffs’ properties. Therefore, any statement that “the beneficiary
5
has declared a default and directed that the property be sold” is not true, and the
6
Defendant servicers who have made that false representation knew or should have known
7
at the time each and every such notice was executed, mailed and recorded that those
8
allegations were false.
9
147. Foreclosure against the properties of the Plaintiffs cannot commence without
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

a written declaration of default and direction to the trustee to sell the property made by

245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

the persons or entities to whom the obligation under the notes are owed.
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 148. After the debts on the notes were discharged to the investors, the

14 assignments of the deeds of trust and notes, the designations of substitute trustees and

15 substitute beneficiaries, the declarations of default and directions to sell the properties,

16 the notices of default and election to sell, the notices of sale and the foreclosure sales were

17 nullities and transferred nothing to the entities now seeking to foreclose on the Plaintiffs’
18 properties or claiming to own the Plaintiffs’ properties as bank REO’s.
19
149. No person or entity with any legal right to declare a default and direct a sale
20
on any of the Plaintiffs’ notes and/or deeds of trust naming MERS as beneficiary or
21
nominee of the beneficiary/lender ever declared a default and directed a sale of any such
22
property of Plaintiffs herein.
23
150. As a direct and proximate result of the unlawful and wrongful
24
commencement and advancement of foreclosure proceedings by Defendants complained
25
of herein, the Plaintiffs who have been subjected to such actions by Defendants have

20 but not limited to: All borrowers who were targeted for and lured into the mortgages sold
21 by Defendants were handicapped in understanding the terms of those loans. This
22
constituted a misrepresentation that caused Plaintiffs to make their monthly payments
23
from the cash that represented the equity in their home to the Defendants. Moreover,
24
upon information and belief, the variety of additional and separate payments charged for
25
services and other items tangential to the loan were prohibitive. The result is that

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-82


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 3 of 30

1 Plaintiffs, and each class member, assumed financial burdens that they would not

2 otherwise have assumed, and paid Defendants funds to which the Defendants were not
3 entitled nor owed.
4 155. The loans made to Plaintiffs and to each class member were then
5
repackaged, reassigned, and/or resold, each with a margin of profit for the assignee/buyer
6
that would not otherwise have existed had Plaintiffs and all other members of the class
7
not been deceived by the original terms of the loan and/or the lack of disclosures as
8
alleged herein. Likewise Plaintiffs would not have continued to make payments on the
9
loans if the Defendants had properly disclosed the discharge of the obligations on the

notes to the investors.


11

156. Plaintiffs and each class member have paid or continue to pay an inflated
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 interest rate that, upon information and belief, would not have been agreed to but for the

14 failure to understand the documents and otherwise disclose the true terms and costs of

15 the loans, tangential services, and out-of-pocket costs.

16 157. Upon information and belief, Defendants, and each of them, retained and

17 continue to retain these ongoing and escalating profits to the detriment of Plaintiffs and
18 each class member, contrary to the fundamental principals of fairness, justice, and good
19
conscience.
20
158. Upon information and belief, all payments made to the Defendants servicing
21
the Plaintiffs’ mortgages are not due to the Defendants who are or were making demands
22
for collection.
23
159. The Defendants who have serviced the loans of the Plaintiffs did not fund
24
the loans, did not loan any money to the Plaintiffs, and are not holders in due course of
25
the notes of the Plaintiffs and have no lawful right to foreclose upon Plaintiffs’ homes if

Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 4 of 30

1 Plaintiffs do not make the payments according to the notes that were executed by

2 Plaintiffs at the time the loans were received.


3 160. Upon information and belief, all sums advanced to Plaintiffs for loans by
4 investors have been repaid, settled, satisfied or otherwise are no longer outstanding.
5
161. Plaintiffs have no contract with the Defendants and Defendants hold no
6
contract rights that constitute an obligation from the Plaintiffs.
7
162. Accordingly, Defendants, and each of them, should be ordered to return all
8
funds obtained as a result of their deceptive scheme to Plaintiffs and class members.

Reno, NV 89501

12
13 166. Specifically, the MERS system was designed to remove the need for

14 recordation of transfers of deeds of trust as alleged herein. This component of the design

15 of the MERS System facilitated the wrongful foreclosures complained of herein by making

16 it easier to transfer the purported beneficial interest in a deed of trust and to appoint a

17 trustee for the purpose of foreclosing on a property, despite the fact that the deed of trust
18 no longer provided security for a note as a result of the note having been separated from

11

underwriting guidelines were inconsistent with underwriting guidelines previously

12
13 considered as standard in the industry and which previous underwriting guidelines

14 included consideration of factors which included, but were not limited to, the borrower’s

15 capacity to repay the loan, the borrower’s credit rating, and the value of the collateral

16 securing the loan.

17 176. All Plaintiffs were advised by the lenders who were acting for the lenders,
18 servicers and sercuritizers on each loan, defined herein, that Plaintiffs were qualified for
19
the loans described herein, although such representations were known to those
20
Defendants to be false, or were made without intentional or reckless disregard to the truth
21
or falsity of the representations.
22
177. The Defendants described in the preceding paragraph intended that the
23
Plaintiffs would rely on the representations related to their qualification on the loans.

5
of the payments due, and the due dates.
6
180. The Defendant servicers knew or should have known that such
7
representations were false because the note had been discharged through the
8
securitization process or through the note holder’s receipt of monies from third-party
9
sources as alleged herein. Defendants knew or should have known that the
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

representations were material, as Plaintiffs would not have paid money to the Defendant

8
190. Beginning at a time unknown to the Plaintiffs, prior to 2004, and continuing

15 meetings, bilateral and multilateral teleconferences, and bilateral internet

16 communications with potential Shareholders, actual Shareholders, candidates for

18 192. Upon information and belief, the Defendant conspirators have conspired
19
among themselves and with other unknown parties to:
20
a. develop a system of earning profits from the origination and
21
securitization of residential loans without regard for the rights of Plaintiffs, and others
22
similarly situated, by engaging in predatory and deceptive residential lending practices as
23
alleged in this complaint above; and

c. Defendant conspirators intentionally created, managed, operated and

11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

193. Upon information and belief, Defendant conspirators, through creation of the
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 MERS system alleged herein, adopted and implemented residential lending underwriting

14 guidelines for use in Arizona and in other states which:

15 a. were intended to, and did, generate unprecedented profits for the Defendant

16 conspirators and their co-conspirators at the expense of Plaintiffs and other persons who

17 were fraudulently induced by the Defendant conspirators and their co-conspirators into
18 taking out residential loans that were known by the Defendant conspirators and their co-
19
conspirators, at the time the loans were originated, and
20
b. were likely to result in foreclosure on those loans and loss by Plaintiffs and
21
other borrowers of their homes, with reckless disregard and intentional indifference by
22
the Defendant conspirators and their co-conspirators of the likelihood of such foreclosure.
23
212. Removing real estate transaction records from the public record maintained
24
by the county clerks prevents oversight of real estate transactions by the public and by
25
public officials.

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-92


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 13 of 30

1 194. MERSCORP, Inc. informed its co-conspirators that using the MERS system

2 would remove transaction records from the public record.


3 195. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. have publicly stated the following:
4 a. “MERS eliminates the need to prepare and record assignments when trading
5
residential and commercial mortgage loans.”
6
b. “With the recording of the security instrument(s), MERS becomes the
7
mortgagee in the county land records and no assignments are required during a
8
subsequent sale and transfer of the loan between MERS members.”
9
c. “There is no dependency on the corporate name you use on closing
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

documents and the corresponding corporate name on the MERS System because the
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

MERS System is not the legal system of record of ownership of mortgage loans.”
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 196. Upon information and belief, the MERS system was created for the unlawful

14 purpose of hiding and insulating the brokers and originators of predatory toxic loans from

15 accountability and liability by creating an entity which simultaneously informed all

16 lenders who originated loans that named MERS as the beneficiary of the following:

17 a. MERS would never own or acquire any actual beneficial interest in any loan
18 in which it was named as beneficiary under the deed of trust, and that
19
b. MERS could be named as beneficiary for purposes of public notice and
20
notice to the borrower and would act in that capacity if so designated by the lender who
21
originated the loan.
22
197. Upon information and belief, the intent and purpose of the Defendant
23
conspirators and their co-conspirators in the creation, management, operation and
24
control of MERS was, without limitation, to make it impossible for the borrowers, their
25
attorneys, the courts, the government, and anyone other than the Defendant conspirators

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-93


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 14 of 30

1 who created and controlled MERS to identify the actual beneficial owner of any particular

2 loan or the property which was the collateral securing that loan until such time, if any,
3 that foreclosure action was initiated. As a result, Plaintiffs, and other similarly situated
4 individuals, were deprived of the right to attempt to modify their toxic loans, as the true
5
identity of the actual beneficial owner was intentionally hidden from Plaintiffs and other
6
similarly situated individuals.
7
198. MERSCORP, Inc.’s marketing materials also promise Members with
8
assistance with foreclosures. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. have publicly stated:
9
“MERS has assembled a Foreclosure Manual to provide a state-by-state guideline for our
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

Members to follow when foreclosing a mortgage loan in the name of MERS.”

199. Upon information and belief, the Defendant conspirators’ actions in


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 creating the MERS system, which was dependent on fraudulent and deceptive practices

14 that included, but were not limited to, making loans to consumers such as Plaintiffs in

15 created a system to unlawfully deprive Plaintiffs of their interest in their Residences when

16 the Defendants know that the obligations on the notes have been extinguished.

17 200. MERSCORP, Inc. and/or MERS, Inc. offered Members increased profit.
18 MERSCORP, Inc. has publicly stated:
19
a. “The MERS web site enables you to target directly your MERS® Ready
20
products and services to MERS members.”
21
b. “Commercial originators and issuers save hundreds to thousands of
22
dollars (in the case of cross-collateralized loans) in preparing and recording
23
assignments. Where the originator has not recorded a MERS as Original Mortgagee
24
(MOM) security instrument, the issuer saves the costs of assigning to the Trust by having
25
the originator assign to MERS.” (Emphasis added).

1 c. “It will reduce risk and generate more profits for lenders because the Notes

2 registered on it will be in electronic format. It shortens the timeframe between the


3 closing and the securitization of the loan, enabling the Note to move instantly,
4 creating faster funding.” (Emphasis added).

5 203. The times, dates, and locations of the various meetings and

6 communications among and between the conspirators are solely within the knowledge of
7 the conspirators and have not been made public by MERS or its co-conspirators.
8 204. In addition to the allegations made related to the shareholder, director,
9
and creator conspirators, the MERS system conspiracy consisted of:
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

a. The Lender conspirators who agreed to procure loans by means of violation


11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110

of state and Federal lending laws, as further described in the previous claims
HAGER & HEARNE

Reno, NV 89501

12
for relief.
13
b. The Lender, Securitizer and Servicer conspirators who agreed to use the
14
MERS system unlawfully and in violation of state and Federal laws to deceive
15
homeowners and securities purchasers by misleading them to believe that the
16
17 conspirators had legal authority to foreclose when in fact, the conspirators do not

18 have legal authority to foreclose on loans which were made part of the MERS

19 system, as further described in the previous claims for relief.

20 c. The Securitizer conspirators who were aware of these violations of law

21 during procurement and agreed to purchase the loans knowing that the law had
22 been violated.
23
d. The Securitizer conspirators who, upon information and belief, packaged
24
and sold loans knowing that such loans were based on deeds of trust that had been
25
split from the notes, and based on loans that had been sold as part of the

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-97


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 18 of 30

1 securitization process before the loans were finalized with the borrowers.

2 Thereafter, the purported interest in the obligation, the note as evidence of the
3 obligation, and the security interest for the obligation were transferred multiple
4 times without recording the change in ownership of an interest in real property in
5
the appropriate county records. This was accomplished by the creation of the
6
private parallel record keeping service known as the MERS system, whereby
7
MERS, Inc. is named in the deed of trust which is supposed to be the security for
8
the underlying loan obligation. MERS is named as the nominee of the lender, but
9
not as the holder of the note or the actual lender. Rather, MERS is named as
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

beneficiary for the purpose of deceiving the borrower and the clerk’s office where
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

the deed of trust is recorded.


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 e. A securitization process that was based on loans that were made based on

14 residential loan underwriting guidelines that were designed to generate as many

15 loans as possible to fuel the securitization process to feed the demand for

16 mortgage-backed securities, the faulty and toxic nature of which loans was hidden

17 by the MERS system. As a result of MERS being named the beneficiary, and
18 through the processes described herein, the note and deed of trust are "split."
19
When the note is split from the deed of trust, then the note becomes unsecured and
20
a person holding only the note lacks the power to foreclose and a person holding
21
only a deed of trust suffers no default because only the holder of the note is entitled
22
to payment on it. The monetary effect of utilizing the MERS system, in addition to
23
the allegations set forth otherwise herein, was to hide profits and fees that were not
24
disclosed to the borrower or to the investor in the note, which, in some cases, upon
25
information and belief, were in excess of the principal value stated on the note.

Complaint/DALTON etal v. Citi etal-98


Case 3:09-cv-00534 Document 3 Filed 09/14/2009 Page 19 of 30

1 f. The Securitizer conspirators who violated state and Federal securities laws

2 through their descriptions of the financial derivatives created by the conspiracy.


3 g. The Lender conspirators who agreed to supply loans to the Securitizers
4 despite knowledge that the Securitizers would sell them in violation of the law.
5
h. The Servicer conspirators who agreed to unlawfully foreclose on loans
6
despite the separation of the loan from the deed of trust which made the
7
foreclosure unlawful because the debt was no longer secured.
8
205. All of the conspirators agreed to the participation of the other conspirators
9
in their individual roles in the conspiracy. The loan files of each of the loans disclose the
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

legal violations and document that the Lenders agreed to purchase loans from third party
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

originators and to sell them to the Securitizers. The Securitizers agreed to purchase the
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 loans and pool them with full knowledge of the contents of the loan files. The Servicers

14 agreed to foreclose with full knowledge of the loan file for each loan.

15 206. All of the conspirators continued to agree to the conspiracy over the course

16 of thousands of transactions.

17 207. Defendants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
18 GMAC Mortgage, L.L.C., and National City Mortgage acted as Creators of the conspiracy.
19
They created MERS to hide their own unlawful activity as well as the activities of the co-
20
conspirators.
21
208. Defendants Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., First Franklin, and Bank of
22
America, N.A. acted as Lenders in the conspiracy.

6
conspiracy.
7
211. For the purpose of forming and effectuating this conspiracy, Defendants
8
and co-conspirators did the following things, among others:
9
a. The Defendants acting as Lenders described above systematically and
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

repeatedly violated Federal and state lending laws in order to originate mortgages, as
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

described in the previous claims for relief;


Reno, NV 89501

12
13 b. The Defendants acting as Securitizers knowingly and by agreement

14 purchased the unlawfully obtained mortgages from the Lenders;

15 c. The Defendants acting as Lenders, Securitizers and Servicers utilized and

16 benefited from the MERS system as a means of preventing detection by law enforcement

17 or by the public and as a means of unlawful foreclosure to the detriment of homeowners;


18 d. The Defendants acting as Lenders and Securitizers, with knowledge and
19
agreement of the co-conspirators, utilized the MERS system in such a manner as to split
20
the promissory note from the mortgage or deed of trust and thereby destroy the note
21
holders’ security, nevertheless proceeding with unlawful foreclosure actions to the
22
detriment of homeowners;
23
e. All Defendants named herein as co-conspirators profited from their
24
respective roles in originating loans, selling them, and pooling their MERS registered

1 home loans together in large bundles which were sold and turned into financial derivative

2 instruments;
3 f. The mortgage securitization process became known in financial industry
4 parlance as “slicing and dicing.” The slicing and dicing results in a pool of mortgages
5
which have lost their individual characteristics but which have a high value to those who
6
create them;
7
g. The Defendants acting as Securitizers named herein purchased mortgages
8
from the Defendants acting as Lenders named herein for securitization;
9
h. The Defendants named as Securitizers herein sold the securitized and
10
(775) 329-5800, FAX (775) 329-5819

pooled mortgages as asset backed financial derivatives with affirmative claims that
11
245 E. Liberty St., Ste 110
HAGER & HEARNE

Defendants were unaware of any legal issues which would affect the value of the assets
Reno, NV 89501

12
13 backing the securities, which was untrue, as Defendants actually knew or should have

14 known that the mortgages were unlawfully obtained and subject to rescission, and knew

15 or should have known that the mortgages and promissory notes had been split and

16 therefore the note holder no longer had the right to foreclose, assuming that it ever did;

17 i. The Defendants described herein as Servicers unlawfully foreclosed on


18 homeowners’ properties. The Servicers misrepresented that they had the legal right to
19
foreclose, when, in fact, they did not. The Servicers’ foreclosures wrongfully deprived
20
homeowners of property;
21
j. All Defendants named as MERS members agreed to promote MERS, an
22
ostensibly lawful business, and to utilize MERS in an unlawful manner to deprive
23
Plaintiffs and those similarly situated of property.
24
212. The securitization process took distinct loans, deeds of trust, and mortgages,
25
and pooled them together in such a manner that they lost their unique identity. Hundreds

1
230. There are common questions of law and/or fact common to the class,
