Blackwell, last week for failing to disclose “a clear conflict” of her dual employment as a foreclosure specialist for Ally’s GMAC unit and as a practicing foreclosure defense attorney, according to court papers filed yesterday in federal court in Philadelphia.



• Prior to her termination, Blackwell allegedly improperly obtained confidential company information including organization charts for Ally’s foreclosure operations, according to the complaint.
