Dear Jim,
Below is a link to a video that I know you and your readers will want to watch.
Hank Phillippi Ryan, an investigative reporter at Channel 7 News in Boston, interviewed John O’Brien, the outspoken Register of the Essex Southern District Registry of Deeds in a county just north of Boston, attorney Jamie Ranney from Nantucket, and me about fraudulent documents that have been recorded in Massachusetts registries that resulted in defective foreclosures.
You may view the link at: http://www1.whdh.com/features/articles/hank/BO145706/
Over the past five (5) months, I have been examining documents recorded in John O’Brien’s registry and will issue my findings by mid-June.
This is ground-breaking work and it is going to set the “gold standard” for authenticating title to real property in the county land records.
As I said to Hank in the interview, the extent and scope of the fraud is unimaginable and shocking…even for me, which is saying a lot!
Travel safely and I look forward to speaking with you upon your return.
Warmest regards,
CIGA Marie
