Dear Mr. Gillespie:
Thank you for the information that you submitted under the SEC's Whistleblower Program. We greatly
appreciate your bringing this matter to our attention. The success of the whistleblower program depends
on individuals providing the Commission with specific, timely, and credible information.
Members ofthe staff ofthe Division of Enforcement may contact you for additional assistance or
information. In addition, we encourage you to submit any additional supporting information or materials
that you believe will assist us in analyzing and fully understanding this matter.
As a matter of policy, the SEC conducts its investigations on a confidential basis. The purpose of this
policy is to protect the integrity of any investigation from premature disclosure and to protect the privacy
of persons involved in our investigations. Accordingly, although working with whistleblowers and their
counsel is very important to us, there may be very limited information we can share with you regarding
what action, if any, we are taking in response to your submission. I hope you understand these
limitations.
The Commission is only authorized to conduct investigations into possible violations of the federal
securities laws. You should not expect the Commission to take any actions to the extent your information
relates to conduct outside the scope or coverage of the federal securities laws. We may, however, in
appropriate circumstances, refer your matter to another regulatory or law enforcement agency.
Thank you again for taking the opportunity to submit your information to us. Efforts by persons such as
yourself are critical to the success ofthis program.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of the Whistleblowec if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
G;~ ,
J ne Norberg~"

RE: SEC Whistleblower Program; APPLICATION TO CLAIM AN AWARD

https://www.sec.gov/about/offices/owb/owb-awards.shtml
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

http://www.consumerfinance.gov/blog/the-cfpb-wants-you-to-blow-the-whistle-on-lawbreakers/
Dear Chief McKessy:

Enclosed is a paper Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Whistleblower Complaint I
made yesterday, March 8, 2016, online to whistleblower@cfpb.gov, and acknowledgment.
Since the SEC and CFPB Whistleblower programs originate with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, can I assume they are essentially the same program?
Please find enclosed my complaint to CFPB/The Florida Bar, which I hereby provide to the
SEC/CFPB as a Whistleblower Complaint. I waive confidentiality. It appears Bank of America,
the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Florida Attorney General, engaged in fraud to show
Bank of America made a bona fide settlement when in fact it did not. See my complaint to TFB:
This complaint concerns two Florida lawyers, Pam Bondi and Mark Hamilton, and Floridas
$1 billion share of a Bank of America (BofA) settlement announced August 21, 2014 with the
U.S. Department of Justice. Mr. Hamilton, and Ms. Bondis office, denied Florida was part of the
BofA settlement in response to my public records request. Later I later found a letter dated August
21, 2014 from Jana Litsey, BofAs Deputy General Counsel, addressed to "Pamela J. Bondi, Esq."
Florida State Attorney General, confirming details of the Bank of America settlement:
"Of the $7 billion consumer relief package, we expect just in excess of $1 billion to be
effected within the state - in other words, one seventh of the entire package - benefiting
almost 17,000 Florida consumers."
Ms. Litseys letter was linked on the Florida Attorney Generals website with a press release by
Attorney General Bondi. Why then did Hamilton, and Bondis office, lie about Floridas $1 billion
share of a BofA settlement benefiting almost 17,000 Florida consumers, and where is the money?
Sincerely,
Neil J. Gillespie

Our office previously issued its response to your public records request. An additional copy is

"The settlement resolves certain actual and potential civil claims by the DoJ, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and State Attorneys General from
California, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland and New York (State AGs), all of
which are members of the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities Working Group of

Consequently, our Office does not have any documents responsive to your specific request. This will
serve to close out your additional public records request for documents.

Floridians to Receive More Than $1 Billion in Relief Under National Settlement with Bank of America
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.The Justice Department has entered a settlement with Bank of
America, which will provide nearly 17,000 Floridians in excess of $1 billion in relief.
Eligible Floridians will receive first and second lien principal reductions, loan forgiveness
and other relief. The total amount of consumer relief of the settlement nationally is $7
billion, and Floridas share equals one-seventh of that total.
"Our office worked closely with Bank of America to ensure that Florida homeowners would
be treated fairly in any settlement, and Im pleased that Floridians will be receiving
one-seventh of the overall consumer relief. As a result of the Justice Department's
settlement with Bank of America, it's expected that Florida will receive just over $1 billion
in homeowner relief, benefiting nearly 17,000 Florida homeowners, stated Attorney
General Pam Bondi.
We very much appreciate the extensive investment of time spent by you and your staff in
discussions with the Bank concerning the types and quantity of consumer relief to be
delivered to Florida residents as part of any settlement with the U.S. Department of
Justice, stated Jana J. Litsey, Deputy General Counsel with Bank of America, in a letter to
Attorney General Bondi.
The federal settlement addresses abuses primarily by Countrywide and Merrill Lynch
which greatly contributed to the mortgage crisis. These companies securitized residential
mortgage loans that had been obtained without ensuring that the borrowers could actually
afford the mortgages. They then sold them to investors as so-called residential mortgagebacked securities without disclosing the significant risk that the borrowers holding the
mortgages were unable to stay current on their loans because many of the loans had been
written without proper review to ensure that the borrowers could actually afford the loans.
Bank of America acquired Countrywide and Merrill Lynch shortly before the financial
crisis that resulted from unprecedented defaults on the ill-advised residential mortgage
loans sold to investors around the country.

The Find a Lawyer directory is provided as a public service. The Florida Bar maintains limited basic information about attorneys licensed to practice in the state (e.g., name, address, year of
birth, gender, law schools attended, admission year). However, through this directory The Florida Bar allows individual attorneys the opportunity to provide for public information certain
expanded personal and professional data. It is the attorney's responsibility to routinely review and update those expanded listings. The information contained in those expanded listings is
presented by the Bar "as is" with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Florida Bar, its Board of Governors, employees, and agents thereof are not responsible for the accuracy of
that additional data. Publication of attorneys' contact information within this listing should not be construed as their consent to receive unsolicited communications in any form. Certain
unauthorized uses of this data may result in civil or criminal penalties. The Find a Lawyer directory is not a lawyer referral service.
