BostonGlobe reports three potential candidates have been identified as possible monitors to make sure banks comply with any settlement of a nationwide foreclosure probe. In the wake of disclosures that mortgage companies were using faulty documents to seize homes during the foreclosure process, all 50 states began investigations. The monitor would oversee mortgage relief provided to homeowners and set standards for foreclosures. Candidates include Steven M. Cohen, former secretary to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and currently a partner at a law firm in New York City; Nicolas P. Retsinas, former assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), senior lecturer in real estate at Harvard Business School, and director emeritus of Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies; and Joseph A. Smith, Jr., North Carolina’s commissioner of banks. In 2010, Smith was chosen by President Obama to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but his nomination was rejected by Senate Republicans.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “Right Hand Man” Steven M. Cohen Flees Sinking Ship Amidst Iviewit’s Rico & Antitrust Lawsuit, AG Eric Schneiderman Office Admits Conflict of Interest with Iviewit.
New York Times Reports “Governor’s Right-Hand Man Returns to Private Sector” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/22/nyregion/steven-m-cohen-andrew-cuomos-right-hand-man-returns-to-private-sector.html?_r=1
The NY Times reports that Steven Michael Cohen, formerly Chief of Staff for Andrew Cuomo has left public office & taken the revolving door to the Law Firm Zuckerman Spaeder LLP. Did Cohen leave office however due to the Conflicts of Interest & Criminal Complaints filed against Andrew Cuomo & Cohen for RICO & ANTITRUST Violations in the Iviewit Technologies, Inc. Lawsuit? Iviewit’s RICO Lawsuit has been “Legally Related” by Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin to a NY Supreme Court Attorney Whistleblower Lawsuit of Attorney Christine C. Anderson. So you make the call, did Cohen flee Cuomo’s office ahead of the coming implosion of the Whistleblower Anderson’s claims and the Iviewit RICO & ANTITRUST Lawsuit???
