Control Fraud


Control Fraud

By: Jim Macklin
Secure Document Research

The term “control Fraud” was originally coined by Professor William Black, UMKC. A control fraud essentially starts as a core methodology for the exaction of some enterprise or movement, whether in commerce or at law. The instigators of a control fraud typically have their own self-interests as the motivation for participants to either ignore regulations or laws, or worse yet, to politically pressure or lobby for policy change that suits their agenda(s).

It mattered not that “liar loans”, defective underwriting processes, and securitization obviations were the norm during the run-up to 2008. The control fraud was in place to facilitate complete immunity from prosecution for the big money players at the top of Wall St. Every associated business that derived its income from the mortgage-backed bond sales was expected to follow the guidelines, as set by the fraudsters, or suffer the fate of not working. Everyone from bond insurers, hedge fund managers, realtors and property appraisers had to bend to the poisonous curve…or lose their competitive edge, and thus, their livelihood. When lying becomes the standard upon which your paycheck relies, you are a liar by proxy.

3. Steve Yarmy
I started a chapter 11 practice about three years ago to assist businesses and individuals who were hard hit by the drastic decline in property values. I have filed over 50 chapter 11 bankruptcies. I have achieved enormous success in confirming the chapter 11 plans. I attribute my success to building relationships with the creditors attorneys, along with a developed strategy in processing the chapter 11. This process has been duplicated by other chapter 11 attorneys because of my streamlined strategy.
Do to the success achieved in Las Vegas chapter 11’s, I initiated a practice in the Reno area (Yarmy Law Group).  Currently, I associate with the Kidder Law Group which is located in the Reno area. We have over 7 plans on file, and expect a tremendous confirmation rate.
Recently, I have a Pro Hoc Vice with a California attorney in an effort to pass on the success to parties in California. We anticipate working closely with counsel in California to expand the case load there.
Presently, I devote most of my time to chapter 11 bankruptcies and any litigation resulting from lender practices. I plan to continue this trend for sometime moving forward.

Financial Control Fraud

Financial Control Fraud

By Jim Macklin
Secure Document Research

When a person or persons who own or oversee the operations of a seemingly legitimate business or Governmental Agency uses that business or agency as a “weapon”, it is known as a control fraud. The term was coined by UMKC Professor William Black (The Best Way To Rob A Bank Is To Own One, Black, 2005). The “weapon of choice” in a financial control fraud is accounting. More losses occur in financial control frauds than any other form of property crimes …combined!

In the early stages of our most recent financial crisis, the FBI had correctly identified the presence of the type of fraud, yet, the Bush administration failed to effect any real consequences, and so the fraud was swept under the rugs of the administrations’ offices. De-regulation and the advent of hyper-bonuses helped to encourage the practices of the ratings agencies, hedge fund managers, and CEO’s of the Wall Street elite, while the AAA rated “junk bonds” went out for sale with a frenzied push for more paper. Never before, in the history of Wall Street, had a AAA rated bond gone into a default. Remember, these ratings agencies hadn’t even bothered to sample the veracity or viability of the loan files upon which these ratings were issued. This is a control fraud in its’ simplest and purest form, with all of the key players indemnified against losses through trust agreements. This is the smoking gun.
