Dozens of variations of the same theme went out to Senator Boxer and Representative Sherman, not to mention most of the parties on this letter's distribution list. For several years we have been attempting to elicit some sort of federal law enforcement response to this company's crimes against us and wide-ranging interstate crimes against millions of families. As you can plainly see, WE REPEATEDLY WARNED of First American's predatory, wild criminal conduct and its potential to literally undermine the foundations of our economy. Tragically, any one of you might have prevented, or at least mitigated, the irreparable damage done by this company to our nation and its financial institutions.</p> <p>Giant First American Corporation inflated and burst the housing bubble for profit in collusion with banks. While many of the co-conspirator financial institutions are now in ruins, First American continues to prosper as they pick the bones of a devastated housing sector as the foreclosures and resale of properties generate assessment, escrow and title business for this vertically-integrated criminal enterprise. They stand to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the financial Armageddon they helped to create. This is particularly ironic since title insurance is now widely held to be a redundant, even fraudulent product.</p> <p>Senators, Representatives, et al, now that the chickens have come home to roost, isn't it time to bring to justice at least one of the prime culprits in the destruction of our way of life? We were the 'canaries in the coalmine'. Would America be on the brink of a complete financial collapse had someone responded to our complaints and warnings years or even months ago? As we've been trying to tell you, our case with its interstate-fraud and RICO elements was, and is the ideal vehicle to expose First American's criminal corporate culture and pattern of subverting checks, balances and due process in every state of the union. You have the power to force them to disgorge of their ill-gotten gains. WE ARE STILL HERE WAITING FOR ONE OF YOU TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP!<br> </p> <p>Sincerely,</p> <p><br> Michael L.
