Robosigners Bryan Bly ofNationwj-de Tit1e Clearing

Action Date: llovember 8, 2070

Location: PaIm Harbor, FL

The video-tapeddepositions of employees of NationwideTitle Clearing in Palm Harbor, Florida, were made

available on the website Stop Foreclosure Fraud. Thedeposition of Bryan B1y is particularLy startling andstraiqhtforward. Bryan B1y signed documents and witnessedor notarized other documents. Bly testified that he didnot witness the signatures he notarized. B1y signed inbatches of 200. Bly signed app::oximately 5,000 mortqageassig,nments each day. Bly also signed as an officer ofmany lenders. Bly sigrned as an officer of over 20 banksand mortgage companies. His supervisors told him therewere corporat.e resolutions authorizing him Lo sign usingthese titles. Bly had no knowledqe of the information on

the documents. Bly did not know what was meant by amortqaqe assignment or an attorney-in-fact although hesigned mortqage assignments as an officer of CitlFinancial as attorney-in-fact for Argent Mortqage. He didnot verify any information other than to make sure co-employees had signed their names so there were no bl-anklines on the documents. He has done this work forapproximately 10 years. One of the titles not discussedin the deposit ion, but used on Lens of thousands ofmortg,age assignments signed by B1y was Attorney-In-Fact,Federal Deposit Tnsurance Corporation, as Receiver forIndyMac Federal Bank FSB, successor to TndyMac Mortgaqe

Holdings, fnc. Bly continued to sign as Attorney-In-Factfor the FDIC as recently as.Tune 25, 2010. A copy of anassignment signed by B1y as Attorney-In-Fact for the FDICis available in the "Pleadings" section of Fraud Digest.

Not only does your post summarize Mr. Bly's deposition post which is in violation offudge DeFuria's injunction as stated above, your website falsely implies that it was

improper for Mr. Bly to sign numerous mortgage assignments each day as an officer of over

20 banks and mortgage companies, even though he was told there were corporateresolutions from those companies authorizing him to sign as an officer of those banks and

mortgage companies. You go on to falsely imply that Mr. Bly was guilty of wrongfulconduct because he did not read the assignments before signing them and had no

knowledge of their contents. All of this of course, is posted under the heading "Mortgage

Fraud."

As I am sure you know by now, NTC has duly-executed resolutions or powers of

attorney for the financial institutions on whose behalf Mr. Bly executed the assignments.Assignments simply need to be executed; the signer is not required to read them before

signing, and your posts suggest otherwise. It is false and misleading and must be removed

immediately.

3. Your post of October LI,2010, entitled "Pigs Ass" wrongfully implies that any

documents created by NTC, Bryan BIy, or Crystal Moore should be presumed to be

false. The post states:

The statement that Mary Jo McGowan of NTC is a "fraudulent signer" and that the"fraud . . . is coming out of Pinellas Counl5/" (where NTC has its offices) is false andmaterially misleading. It must be removed immediately.

Complete copies of these website posts are attached hereto for your review.

As I am sure you know from NTC's suit against Matthew Weidner fwho also postedmaterially misleading information on his website, but has since retracted the posts indapologized for them), NTC has duly-executed corporate resolutions or po*"ri of attorney

for the financial institutions on whose behalf Mr. Bly, Ms. Moore and its other employeesexecute assignments. Most of those resolutions or powers of attorney are confidential, butI am attaching one from Citi Residential Lending, Inc., that is in the public record and that issimilar to others that NTC has obtained for its business purposes. You will note that theresolution states, inter alia:

RESOLVED, thal each of the employees of NationwideTitle Clearinq, Inc. 1"NTC") listed below be, and theyhereby are, named and appointed as a vice president andAssistant secretary of the Corporation solely for thepurpose of acting as duly aut.horized signatories on it.sbehalf, such that any of the listed personnel fldy,
