Rabu besok, 1 other global concern juga most likely akan settle, sebelum
pertemuan governing council ECB Kamis yang dilanjutkan dengan Obama's job
speech pada Jumat pagi BBWI.

Big U.S. banks in talks with state prosecutors to settle claims of improper
mortgage practices have been offered a deal that is proposed to limit part
of their legal liability in return for a multibillion dollar payment.

According to five people with direct knowledge of the discussions, state
prosecutors have proposed settlement language in the “robosigning” case that
also might release the companies from legal liability for wrongful
securitization practices.

Though the counteroffer attempts to release the banks from liability with
respect to home repossessions, and explicitly states that the release does
not include securitization claims, the language is broad enough in that it
could prevent state officials from bringing securitization claims in the
future should they sign up to the agreement.

If banks are released from liability regarding documentation practices, some
industry officials believe they would be able to evade state lawsuits
directed at how they bundled the loans into securities.
