Edward Hyne, Nationstar’s Rule 30(b)(6) witness refers to the practice as “preparing indorsement pages”. This is a partial transcript of the deposition. The case was set for trial Monday October 22, 2018:
BY MR. RILEY: Q What is your testimony about the Note, Mr. Hyne?A The Note itself is accurate, but as to the page where the endorsements are, um,there is, actually, um — the original Note has the endorsements on the backside of thesignature page, and this was an alternate second endorsement sheet that had beenprepared by Aurora Bank, it’s my understanding. That’s why there was a discrepancyraised relating to the endorsements.MR. OLIVER: Prepared by?THE WITNESS: Aurora, the prior servicer.MR. RILEY: Would you, please, read back his answer, if you would.BY MR. RILEY: Q Why would there be an alternate endorsement sheet prepared byAurora?A Um, well, I don’t have personal knowledge. I didn’t work for Aurora. It’s myunderstanding that the, um — Aurora had an image of the Note that, um, apparently,when imaging their system, they didn’t have the back page with the endorsements onit, and someone at Aurora had gone in and created a separate endorsement sheet, um,for the purposes of having a complete version of the Note with an endorsement, notknowing that the back of the original Note, um, contained the, um, originalendorsements.Q So it’s your testimony they prepared an allonge, if you’re familiar with the term“allonge”?THE WITNESS: I don’t know if you would call it an allonge, um, but they prepared,um, a sheet that had new endorsements so that it could be imaged, um, with, um, animage of the Note that was, um, different from the original Note that already had theendorsements on the backside of the signature page.Q Let’s go back to the document you’re referring to and that you’re looking at in frontof you. What is that?A This page, um, is a page that has three endorsements on it.Q So is it your testimony this was the endorsement that was prepared by Aurora thatwas attached to Claim 1?THE WITNESS: Yes.BY MR. RILEY: Q Okay. And how do you have knowledge of how this happened?A We have — in our imaging system when the loan came across from Aurora toNationstar to service. We had images with this Note with this endorsement page, anda separate image of the Note as it, actually, appears with the other endorsements. Um,I’ve had discussions with Simon Ward-Brown, who —Q I’m sorry, who?A Simon Ward-Brown. He’s an employee of Nationstar now, but was previouslyemployed by Aurora when this loan — before the loan transferred to Nationstar.Q And he’s the one that informed you how these signatures came to be on the claim?THE WITNESS: We discussed as to how there might be two different, um,endorsement pages.BY MR. RILEY:Q When would you have had that conversation?A I think it was last year, late last yearQ Why was an amended Proof of Claim not filed, if that wasn’t the accurate Note?A I’m not sure why there wasn’t an amended Proof of Claim filed. CertainlyNationstar wasn’t aware of the issue until, I believe, it was raised later on in thelitigation.BY MR. OLIVAR: Q Now, I think you testified you spoke with Mr. Ward-Brown about analternate second set of — alternate second endorsement sheet. Do I have that right?A Yes.Q And the alternate second endorsement sheet, you believe, was prepared by AuroraBank?A Yes.Q Did he know how that was prepared or why that was prepared when you spokewith him?A We had discussed what he believed to have happened, um, to provide anexplanation why there is a second endorsement page.Q When you say you discussed what he believed to have happened, were the two ofyou just speculating as to possibilities, or did anybody know what had happened?A He didn’t say that he was there when it happened physically at the time that it wasoccurring, um, so he was trying — he believed that that is what happened based uponhis, um, knowledge of the servicing policies and processes at Aurora.Q So based on his knowledge of the general policies at Aurora, he posited someoptions as to what might have happened, or was it just one option?A No. I believe that was the one option.Q So based on his knowledge of Aurora’s general policy, he said he believed that’swhat had happened?A Aurora has an imaging system where they image their own documents. Anemployee of Aurora had looked at the images of the Note and saw that there was notan endorsement page image with the Note as part of the Note document. Eventhough the original, um, Note has the endorsements on the back page of the signaturepage, um, it was Simon’s understanding or belief that, um, an employee of Aurorathen prepared, um, a separate endorsement page, um, for the purposes of completingthe chain of endorsements for the image of the Note that they had in their system.Q What was the name of the employee at Aurora who saw there was no endorsementpage?A Um, he didn’t have a name of a person. He believed that’s what would havetriggered an employee looking at the imaging system.Q When did that unnamed Aurora employee create that second page?A It’s not dated, so I’m not sure if he could tell but, um, there’s certainly nothing onthe document that would indicate when it occurred.Q How did the Aurora employee create a second endorsement page?A I don’t know.Q Do you know whether the page was photo shopped?A I don’t know.Q Do you know whether the page was physically xeroxed with a cut-and-pastetechnique?A I don’t know.

Java — Freddie Fannie, since crisis was exposed (2008), were required to put on website if they “owned” the loan – regardless of whether it was by direct or indirect investment in private label mortgage backed securities. Since about 2013, F/F have sold off “distressed” debt in bulk portfolios., Before that, loans were sold individually. SLS is a debt collector for someone, but it is not Freddie. Freddie will not tell you how it go to SLS. Freddie will tell you nothing, and neither will SLS.
Your answer can be found. “Identity theft”. Nobody knows who has access to the electronic database. I doubt it is even monitored. The draftsmen of ESIGN and UETA warned of this.
Anon.
Specialized Loan Servicing as Plaintiff trying to fraudclose after assignment from BOA NA, who really should have been Bank of Home Loans.
But Freddie website lookup says they own the mortgage since Day 1 of origination in 2008.
Of course. I keep asking who are these liars and frauds called Specialized Loan Servicing , they lend me nothing and ive paid them nothing. So how do they now use the NOI and name themselves creditor and not Freddie ??????
JAVA — if you have any non-bank involved, the only way F/F is involved is by indirect investment in the Private Label Mortgage Backed Securities. They purchased the top tranches — which were all paid out by the bail-out.
By way of FHFA
Fed. Nat’l Mortg. Ass’n v. SFR Invs. Pool 1, LLC
This is one of more than a dozen cases in this district in which Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac seek to avoid the costly impact of the SFR decision on their portfolios of mortgages on foreclosure properties by invoking 12 U.S.C. § 4617(j)(3), which precludes foreclosure on these government-sponsored enterprises’ assets while they remain under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
….
But Fannie Mac—with its conservator the FHFA—challenges that foreclosure as a violation of 12 U.S.C. § 4617(j)(3), which states that “[n]o property of [FHFA] shall be subject to . . . . foreclosure, or sale without the consent of” the FHFA.
Where does Fannie and Freddie come into this tangled Ponzi web ??
Who is the alleged “imaged” endorsement to? Aurora? Nationstar? The “Trust”? The “Trustee?” There should be no endorsement to servicers – or the Trust. The trustee holds the note. They may grant authority to servicer to hold the note for them during litigation, but the note must then be returned to trustee. This is clear in Prospectus and PSA.
The problem is — the “Trustee” doesn’t have a clue. They hold nothing – never did. .
This is outright servicer fraud. And, what do they do to keep the money? Fees and more fees. Until there is nothing left for investors – and foreclosure is insured for them. . And how? There were never valid notes to begin with -no one was watching. No one cares. They act for undisclosed debt buyer. Who was the original debt buyer? The securities underwriters themselves. From who? We know who.
OH and Aurora — who were they a part of ? Lehman Brothers – the first security underwriter of the purchased “default” debt – from you know who – before anyone even defaulted. People have a problem understanding this, but that is what is happened., . .
Judges will approve anything, with very rare exceptions.
Banks SHARE their profits with the “right” people – Government, Judges, Title Companies, ect.
Maybe only power of 35 million illegally foreclosed and displaced Americans can change this genocide
BTW, Nazi displaces about 20 million….during the War time

Back in 2009, the Florida MBA said in commercial practice, they deliberately destroy the paperwork after the party signs and after the documents are scanned and stored in an electronic database. So, if people have not figured this out yet, they should look at state UETA and ESIGN because according to the law that governs the electronic registry is ESIGN. And ESIGN clearly states they must keep the originals even though they, the MBA, use electronic records in securitization. So, the question could be “how do they file a lost note affidavit”? And how can they use electronic records per ESIGN as replacements if the originals were deliberately destroyed? ESIGN deals with original electronic transactions, not converted transactions.
Here is a link to the MBA source mentioned https://www.floridasupremecourt.org/content/download/328731/2952172/09-1460_093009_Comments%20(FBA).pdf:
How about a note with a STAMPED signature (not ink) of blank endorsement and it’s stamped ABOVE the borrowers ink signature. VOID ???????
