Washington Mutual, one of the largest American banks, was officially charged Wednesday of "collusion" and "fraud" for encouraging real estate rating agencies to inflate their estimates, in order to increase its loan activity on real estate property. "Our investigation on the credit loan societies discovered that Washington Mutual illegally made pressure on the appraisers to obtain inflated evaluations. All the companies which repurchased credits in Washington Mutual must check that they are not touched by this fraud ", launched the prosecutor of New York Andrew Cuomo on its Internet site. Mr. Cuomo indicated that the companies of mortage refinancing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "cannot be allowed any more to except buy the mortgage claims of Washington Mutual if they are certain that these appropriations are based on independent and reliable estimates". Mr. Cuomo carried sued First American Corporation and its eAppraiseIt, one of the largest real estate rating company in the United States, for collusion with Washington Mutual. Many e-mail discovered by its services shows how executives of First American and eAppraiseIT provided estimates overestimated - while knowing that that was illegal - in order to obtain more contracts with the bank. Between April 2006 and October 2007, eAppraiseIT provided 250.000 evaluations in Washington Mutual, added Mr. Cuomo. |
