Email Correspondence with California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office

When Wells Fargo’s EVP and General Counsel Jim Strother and Major Business Unit General Counsel David Moskowitz defined that intentional appraisal fraud, loan origination fraud, mortgage-backed securities fraud, wrongful foreclosure and tax evasion is acceptable business practice to Wells Fargo. I don’t see how you can determine that it is an isolated, out ofjurisdiction event and be absolutely certain that Wells Fargo has done nothing wrong in California within your jurisdiction?
2008 housing crisis happened for a reason. Recent articles on Wells Fargo’s predatory lending practices published for a reason. California is ground zero offoreclosure crisis for a reason. When evidence shows that Wells Fargo has built a business based on fraud, do we do
something to curb its offense or do nothing?
AG Harris vowed to protect middle class and be tough on financial crimes. We are patiently waiting.

This relates entirely to the Nevada foreclosure which Frances and I refused to accept when we spoke last week because this office has no jurisdiction over events of this sort which took place in another state.

Dear Mr. Troncoso, Mr. Diehl and Mr. Gillette,
Please find the enclosed evidence, which clearly points that Wells Fargo executives here in its SF headquarter authorized its systematic and intentional appraisal fraud, loan origination fraud, mortgage-backed securities fraud, wrongful foreclosure and tax evasion.
Wells Fargo’s EVP and General Counsel Jim Strother and Major Business Unit General Counsel David Moskowitz authorized Wells Fargo employees to defraud homeowners, investors and taxpayers. Both Mr. Strother and Mr. Moskowitz are familiar about the laws and what constitutes financial fraud. They are located in your jurisdiction. They chose to violate the laws and gave orders to Wells Fargo employees to commit systematic and intentional financial fraud.
Please help to hold Wells Fargo accountable for its promises to my family.
Donna
Letters received from Attorney General Catherine Masto’s office.
Re: Complaint Concerning Wells Fargo
Dear Ms. Vieira:
An inquiry has been received by this office concerning your current action before the Nevada Supreme Court. I have reviewed the entire file at the Supreme Court and it appears that it has already issued a ruling in your case. An amicus brief would have had to be filed within 7
days of your Civil Proper Person Appeal Statement which was filed on April 19, 2010. See NRAP 29(f). Unless the Supreme Court requests that the state file an amicus brief, the State of Nevada cannot do so in this case. At this point there is nothing this office can offer to you.
Sincerely,
CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO, Attorney
General ERIC WITKOSKI , Consumer Advocate
Footnote: AG Masto suspended Wells Fargo’s appraiser T.J. Magee’s real estate appraiser’s license for committed appraisal fraud against my family in 2008. However, AG Masto refused to hold Wells Fargo accountable for committing mortgage lending fraud and wrongful foreclosure against my family. We demand justice. We demand that Wells Fargo be held accountable!

You didn’t really think either of these phony politicians was going to don anything to actually hurt the banks, did you?
Thanks for posting these e-mails. I wish this kind of public business was posted by default on these state attorney generals’ websites, perhaps with an option for correspondents to request public posting or private answer. So many shoes we can see ourselves in, kind of a FAQ body that develops itself from the ground up.
In your case, though, it’s not clear to me what your issue is with both Nevada and California, and what the Nevada Supreme Court’s ruling was. I’m in California and I don’t understand what Kamala Harris is doing. I had high hopes for both these AGs and now I’m trying to see if there’s even any low hope left.
