A Pew Mortgage Investigations report by primary author, Nye Lavalle, describes the practice of using fraudulent affidavits and methods to assign promissory notes and conceal wrongdoing that some mortgage servicers and lenders are being suspected of. Among other things, this report shines light on the conduct of a certain Ocwen Loan Servicing employee, one Scott Anderson, who has received mention on at least seven occasions(1) by a certain Brooklyn, New York trial judge presiding over foreclosure actions in which Anderson appears to have acted as a multiple corporate hat wearing vice president when signing legal documents on behalf of more than one company having some involvement in various lawsuits.

For the report, see SUE FIRST & ASK QUESTIONS LATER!
