Legalism in Michigan

The Federal Judge in the district in Michigan hearing the case was an Asian American, of Chinese ancestry and values.

The Bankers realized the precedent setting importance of the case and the New York Banks spared no expense on the defense. Besides the largest New York Bank, national banks all-offered assistance-and money. Lobbyists from Columbus Ohio to Hawaii stirred up the pot to promote the banking interests.

One lone defense counsel in Michigan had caused the mess. He pleaded that the largest New York bank had not been prudent in creating and caring for the documentation on his clients mortgage. He asked that all of that large Banks mortgage's filed in Michigan in the last twenty years be declared null and void.

The Judge was listening and considering carefully. As the day of decision on the matter came the Bankers were nervous and they began to fight among themselves over who was to blame and as individuals began to prepare their exit strategy.
