: Chris King's 1st Amendment PageMartha Coakley and Mass Division of Banks finally go after some brokers with apparent validity, as opposed to Cat Gibbons and Miracle Mortgage.
By Christopher King
I wrote to both features:
Martha Coakley's Division of Banks is railroading a black female mortgage broker even though her stated income deals did not put anyone in harm's way and occurred BEFORE the DOB changed its policy in 2006.
They also have improperly accused the woman -- Cat Gibbons of Miracle Mortgage -- of being a convicted felon, which she is most definitely not.
When Ms. Gibbons complained to the DOB about Fidelity Guarantee ripping her off they did nothing, even though Fidelity had been shut down in Vermont. Fidelity Guarantee Mortgage Corporation v. T Reben, 809 F2d 931 (1987).
Martha Coakley's Mass Division of Banks also gave MCAD a totally different reason for issuing the Cease and Desist Order, stating it was credit issues and character of fitness, blah blah blah when I have the video from the hearing and it was only the stated income deals. Her credit issues were fairly petty and certainly not of any substantial nature to merit a Cease and Desist and she had a #1 rating prior to being wrongfully accused of being a felon.
The Division, by and through the following representatives, improperly threatened Ms. Gibbons with a public hearing with media and law enforcement, and she will take a lie detector test on it. They won't.
John Prendergast, Chief Risk Officer
Cynthia Begin, Senior Deputy Commissioner
Gregory Short, Deputy Commissioner
Christopher Pope, Deputy Commissioner
Aimee Desai, Associate Counsel
Erin Berger, Chief Director
Ms. Gibbons will be present on 6 January 2010 for a hearing at Suffolk District Court in which the DOB is going after some other mortgage folks who actually do appear to be involved in criminal activity to spread the word that the DOB is treating her in an arbitrary and capricious fashion -- they claim they don't have her responses to questions that she sent in regarding the issue, it is truly incredible.

I am going to telephone AG Coakley to see if she has a comment, I'm sure she will not, but eventually she will because MCAD and several attorneys are watching Ms. Gibbons' complaint closely. Very closely.
