The Robo signing was a crime. Just this past week, finally, at last, sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #20
Civil courts can't "land people in jail." They've been given only civil immunity on robo-signing. Robb Feb 2012 #22

These five banks are forking over $26-39 billion. To settle one issue. Robb Feb 2012 #27
They are absolutely NOT forking over anywhere near that MrCoffee Feb 2012 #28
Those five banks are setting aside reserves. Robb Feb 2012 #33
