United States is a stockholder of MERS
FYI – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac became owned by and part of the United States on September 6, 2008 when FHA took them over. Consider the implications to any cause of action(s), constitutional or otherwise, and defenses, if the United States is a stock holder of MERS. In professor Christopher Peterson’s work entitled “FORECLOSURE, SUBPRIME MORTGAGE LENDING, AND THE MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEM” at page 11 he stated:
“Two years after releasing the initial white paper, MERS, Inc. incorporated in Delaware as a non-stock corporation owned by mortgage banking companies that made initial capital contributions ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000.
