I have filed complaints with the Los Angeles FBI office over and over again. The FBI Office in LA seems to be friends with the Riverside County Sheriffs and the District Attorneys office, and the LA FBI will not look at this case.

Please look at this case. Everything on the case I have posted online so you can view the Sheriff’s reports and evidence. You will see this falls under the color of law.

We have planting of evidence, excessive force, police brutality, filing of false reports and changing reports to fit their lies.   Continue reading “Help Me to Clean Up Riverside County, California”

Bracing for a potential reckoning, the banks and their outside lawyers are quietly using JPMorgan Chase’s record $13 billion mortgage settlement in November to do the math and determine just how much each bank might have to pay to move beyond the torrent of government mortgage litigation that has dogged them since the financial crisis. Such calculations, people briefed on the matter said, have gained particular urgency among the banks’ board members.   Continue reading “Wall Street Predicts $50 Billion Bill to Settle U.S. Mortgage Suits”
