alleging, on personal knowledge or upon information and belief, as the case may be, and denies paragraph 1 in its entirety, putting Plaintiff to its proof as to every element necessary to establish its standing to proceed in this action: a. Denies paragraph 1 and, affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief that Bank of America, N.A. is not the servicer of any loan obligation owed to The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2. b. Affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that Plaintiff and its ThirdParty Defendant law firm, BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., are debt collectors within the meaning of 15 USC sec. 1962, et seq. c. Affirmative alleges, upon information and belief, that Plaintiff is acting solely and exclusively on its own behalf to attempt to collect a debt neither owned by Plaintiff nor owed to Plaintiff by Amy Jo Brown in concert with Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and its employees named and yet to be named herein. d. Denies that Bank of America, N.A. and The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2 is located at 7105 Corporate Drive PTX-B-209 in Plano, Texas 75024. e. Denies that Amy Jo Brown is in default on any payments to the Plaintiff or the entity for which it purports to be acting as servicer. f. Denies that The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York

Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2 has or even can authorize the debt collection attempted herein. The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York did not issue certificates of beneficial interest in the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2. It may be the Trustee of a Real Estate Mortgage Conduit (REMIC) named the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2, but its status as Trustee is not alleged. Whether The Bank of New York Mellon is or is not the Trustee of the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2, the standing of the Plaintiff purporting to be 4

the servicer thereof is not established by Plaintiffs pleading, which fails to identify The Bank of New York Mellon as a Trustee for the Certificateholders. The Complaint alleges that the Plaintiff is the servicer for the certificateholders of certain certificates issued by The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York. Amy Jo Brown categorically denies that certificates were issued by The Bank of New York n/k/a (now known as)The Bank of New York Mellon for the said Alternative Loan Trust. Certificates may have been issued by a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Trust, which may be named the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T and for which The Bank of New York Mellon might be the Trustee, but the entity for which Plaintiff claims to be the servicer is not properly identified as a Trustee for a REMIC Trust. g. Upon personal knowledge, Amy Jo Brown affirmatively alleges that she signed a mortgage note in favor of Americas Wholesale Lender and she further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that the mortgage note taken by Americas Wholesale Lender is not an enforceable instrument because Americas Wholesale Lender has no capacity to enter into a contract and is a doing business as name for the former Countrywide Financial, Inc. and does not exist as a legal entity and lacks the capacity to enter into contract, borrow and lend money or sue and be sued; she further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that Americas Wholesale Lender, lacking the capacity to sue, was a business name created to avoid the laws requiring the regulation of mortgage lenders; she further affirmatively alleges that a party without legal capacity to enter into a contract has no legal capacity to have a bank account in any state in the United States nor can it loan money, sue to collect money or enforce any contract. Further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that Americas Wholesale Lender did not loan the purported Defendant any money which she is obliged to repay and that the copy of the mortgage note attached to the Complaint as Exhibit A is a sham and a fraud. h. Further affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge, that she viewed the purported original mortgage note after the proceedings held before the Honorable Judge Donald A. Hassin in Waukesha County Circuit Court, at the Courthouse in Waukesha County, Wisconsin on February 23, 2012 at approximately 2:00 p.m. and that the mortgage note in the possession of Third-Party Defendant Christina Demakopoulos of Third-Party Defendant 5

BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., then acting as counsel for the (purported) Plaintiff is a forgery on which her signature has been reproduced by highlighting her signature on an imaged note (as only the imaged note is believed to have been retained) and selecting a blue font before the image was transmitted for printing. This form of technology generally called Photoshop technology from the original popular technology, just as the original technology for photocopying was originally known as Xerox machines. Document inspection and expert testimony is required to attempt to determine the most likely type of technology used to create the forgery, but, upon information and belief, the forgery was created with Acrobat Illustrator, the current most popularly used document creation software. i. Further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that the endorsement in blank purportedly affixed to the reverse side of the mortgage note is a forgery and bearing the name of Third-Party Defendant David A. Spector, being a computer-generated photoshopped imported image of the a known robo-stamp used on Bank of America instruments to make it appear that the document was touched by human hands and reviewed by a person with authority to endorse notes on behalf of BAC Home Loan Servicing, LP, which recently merged with its previously concealed parent company, Bank of America, N.A., the purported Plaintiff herein, was lifted from an image of another document upon which the robostamp had once been affixed and printed on the back of the mortgage note to make it appear that the note had been endorsed at the time of the first attempted foreclosure commenced against Amy Jo Brown. j. Affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that the Third-Party Defendant Christina Demakopolous of Third-Party Defendant BLOOMER PETERMAN, S.C., a Wisconsin lawyer and a Wisconsin professional services corporation respectively, acting as debt collectors for the Plaintiff, which is acting as a debt collector for an entity which does not own or hold an enforceable debt obligation, stated that the endorsement in blank on the reverse side of the mortgage note was the reason why the photocopy of the note attached to the Complaint as Exhibit B did not display the endorsement in blank on the second page of Exhibit B. Upon information and belief, Amy Jo Brown affirmatively alleges that the black computer printer ink stamp on the reverse side of the bright white paper and inappropriately aged (newly printed) 6

paper was visible to her when her attorney was initially examining the note and may have been printed in dark enough ink to bleed through as a reverse image on the face of the second page of the computer generated forgery in the hands of her attorney. Document inspection is necessary to determine if the current version of the printed image of her mortgage note bleeds through when copied. k. Affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge, could see the black image on the reverse side of the computer-generated note when she was looking at the front of Exhibit B. l. Affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge, that she observed her attorney, in the course of examining the note, apply her moistened finger to test the black ink purported endorsement in blank, apparently printed with computer ink and that the ink did not bleed onto the page. Observing this preliminary examination, she heard Third-Party Defendant Demakopoulus state to her attorney that the reason that the ink imprint did not react to the moisture test was that the document is old. m. Affirmatively alleges, Amy Jo Brown has a banking, real estate and securities background, has worked in the financial industry since 1983 (with periodic leaves of absence to care for her children) and is presently a commercial lender. In that capacity, she has handled countless financial instruments and can state to a certainty that Exhibit A, which purports to be an original mortgage note purported executed in 2004 and on bright white paper legal sized paper (8 inches by 14 inches) is not appropriately aged and was not folded as would be required to mail the instrument in a conventional envelope (at most 9 inches by 12 inches.) Upon information and belief, the forgery from which the copy of Exhibit B was made was either transmitted to the firm electronically and printed there or, it is hard to accept but possible, created at the law firm itself, under instructions from the purported servicer. All employees of the firm are identified as possible participants in the receipt and/or creation of the forged mortgage note and some of them are, therefore, material witnesses, along with Third-Party Defendant Demakopoulos, who had the forged note in her hands3 on February 23, 2012 and Third-Party Defendant Russell J. Karnes, who acknowledged the firms continuing possession of and reliance

This is called uttering a forgery as a genuine instrument and is a crime in Wisconsin if done with intent as described in Wis. Stats. sec. 943.38.

upon the forged note on April 9, 2012. n. Affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that other yet to be identified employees of Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. have knowledge of the receipt, processing and maintenance of the forged mortgage note in the Third-Party Defendant law firms files.4 Amy Jo Brown believes, from observing Third-Party Defendant Demakopoulos reaction to her attorneys statement that the mortgage note as not the original mortgage note, that Third-Party Defendant Demakopoulos was unaware that she was holding a forgery in her hands and in her case file because Third-Party Demakopoulos appeared to be genuinely surprised at Amy Jo Browns attorneys statement, upon consultation with Ms. Brown, that the note was not the original. A forgery (in this case with a face value of $383,200.00) not only has no value, but the intentional and knowing creation, possession and uttering thereof is a felony under Wisconsin law. The forged note poses a risk to the public if it not immediately surrendered to law enforcement. Amy Jo Brown demands the immediate surrender of the forged document from which the copy of Exhibit B was made to the Waukesha County Sheriffs custody pending scientific examination and testing at the direction of the Wisconsin Department of Justice-Division of Criminal Investigation (DOJ-DCI..) Amy Jo Brown states that she will know immediately if the computer generated forgery displayed to her attorney and in her plain view on February 23, 2012 has been modified or altered. o. Further affirmatively alleges as to Third-Party Defendant Demakopolous, her failure to take remedial action to surrender the forged mortgage note after she was served with the original Answer in this case on or about March 15, 2012 justifies her inclusion in these proceedings as a Third-Party Defendant for participating in the continuation of this action to

These BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. employees who have participated in the criminogenic business model and are yet to be identified will, upon discovery, be named among the co-faciliators John Doe 1-1000 and Jane Doe 1-1000, which designations are also place-holders for intentional, reckless and negligent co-actors from the Bank of America, N.A.; the former BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc., and includes, and will not be limited to, governmental and private banking regulators at the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and possibly, in addition to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas, Texas and Altanta, Georgia which may have been responsible for regulation of the enterprise.

collect a debt not owned by the Plaintiff or owed to it by Amy Jo Brown. p. Affirmatively alleges that on April 9, 2012, Third-Party Defendant Russell J. Karnes is an employee of the Third-Party Defendant law firm BLOOMER PETERMAN, S.C. was directly confronted with a demand to surrender the forged mortgage note and he then and there claimed, upon personal knowledge, that the note is not a forgery. Upon information and belief, Third-Party Defendant Russell J. Karnes continues to rely upon a forged mortgage note as the basis for continuing a debt collection action founded upon a forgery in this Court but he (1) has proceeded in bad faith to attempt to intimidate Amy Jo Brown and her counsel by bringing an unfounded motion to strike Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiffs verified pleadings filed on March 15, 2012 in order to continue the efforts of the Plaintiff, its agents, employees and attorneys to collect a debt not owned by the Plaintiff and to conceal the racketeering enterprise described herein; (2) has proceeded in bad faith in an attempt to intimidate Amy Jo Brown and her counsel by giving notice of demand to withdraw the verified pleadings filed on March 15, 2012 within twenty (21) days in order to suppress the truthful statement that the mortgage note upon which the Plaintiff is attempting to proceed to establish its standing to collect a void debt, which is neither owed to Plaintiff or the party for which it pretends to be acting as servicer nor owned by it. q. Third-Party Defendant Karnes, as an employee of the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has taken the actions set forth at 1.p., above, to further the law firms debt collection efforts on behalf of the Plaintiff as servicer for Third-Party Defendant Bank of NewYork Mellon, N.A. f/k/a The Bank of New York Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2. Third-Party Defendant Karnes knows or should know at this point in the proceedings that the basis for the debt collection action is a forged mortgage note. There is no litigation privilege to use the courts of the State of Wisconsin to collect a debt based upon a forged mortgage note. r. Further affirmatively alleges that the debt collector Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. engaged in the creation of a mortgage assignment to secure the debt represented by the forged mortgage note. The name of Attorney J. Timothy Lovett appears on the assignment of the mortgage (Exhibit D) with what appears to be a Wisconsin Bar number. 9

Exhibit D shows that it was returned from the Waukesha County Register of Deeds to BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. s. The mortgage assignment is Exhibit D attached to the Complaint was created by the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., by one of its employees, and constitutes a false business record. The mortgage assignment attached to the Complaint as Exhibit D was filed in the office of the Waukesha County Register of Deeds and constitutes the filing of a false business record by the Third-Party Defendants J. Timothy Lovett and BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. The mortgage assignment is one of the two key documents upon which the Plaintiff(s) rely in attempting to create the appearance of standing before the Court, the other document being the forged mortgage note. (See paragraphs 2., 5. and 8., below.) t. Continuously reserving her objection to the subject matter jurisdiction of this

Court for the lack of standing of purported Plaintiff for all the reasons stated above, Amy Jo Brown states unequivocally that standing to sue cannot be founded upon a forged mortgage note and a falsely created mortgage assignment. Furthermore, no debt can be claimed to be owed to an entity without a legal existence, such as, in this case, an assumed name (Americas Wholesale Lender), which has no legal capacity to enter into contracts, loan money, receive payments or sue for performance or foreclosure. u. Bank of America, N.A. asserts that it collects and tracks payments,

distributes collection and pursues legal action when necessary for certificateholders of The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York Alternative Loan Trust Certificate Series 2004-35T2 which does not own or hold Amy Jo Browns mortgage note. Exhibit B is a forgery, generated from a computer image and printed with a blue ink signature created by color computer toner, when the original note was signed in black ink and corresponding mortgage assignment (Exhibit D to the Complaint) is void as a falsely created and publicly filed business record for purposes of creating the appearance of Plaintiffs standing to sue for foreclosure of a secured debt, the evidence of which is a forged mortgage note. v. Amy Jo Brown believes that Third-Party Defendant Lovett, acting as

employee of the third party debt collector, BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. may not have known that he was creating a false assignment of mortgage at the time he did so, but his acts were 10

reckless or negligent as done without verification of the legal status of Americas Wholesale Lender, when it is a basic legal principle that any entity claiming to have a legal existence under corporate law (including limited liability companies, limited partnerships or limited liability partnerships) must identify themselves by using their organizational status in their name, such as corporation, inc., ltd., llc, lp, llp) must use their entity designation on contracts, such as mortgage notes and mortgages. The absence of any corporate or other entity designation following the name Americas Wholesale Lender would demand further inquiry as to its existence before the mortgage assignment from it to another entity could be created. 2. Responding to the allegations in paragraph 1 of the Complaint and affirmatively

alleging, on personal knowledge or upon information and belief, as the case may be, and denies paragraph 1 in its entirety, putting Plaintiff to its proof as to every element necessary to establish its standing to proceed in this action: a. Affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York does not appear on its own behalf in its proper status as Trustee for the Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative loan trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2. It appears through its purported servicer on the case caption. If it is a party to this action or authorized this action to be taken on its behalf, it is not properly identified. b. Further, affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge and as a matter of law, that a fiduciary is prohibited as a matter of law from attempting to administer a trust asset which is founded upon a fraudulent transaction and a forged mortgage note because to do so would be an ultra vires act and a breach of its fiduciary duty. c. Denies that The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York has or is able to authorize the commencement or continuation of these proceedings to collect a debt for which part of the evidence is a forgery. d. Further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that unwaivable conflict of interest arises between it and its purported servicer, who has no asset to administer, because the Trust known as the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2 is required, as a matter of law to operate as a Real Estate 11

Mortgage Investment Trust (REMIC Trust) and is governed by 26 U.S.C. sec. 860D and the Trustee for the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2 cannot accept assets into the trust which are not transferred within 90 days of the closing date of the trust or such additional grace period as is allowed by law for proper transfer of the asset. According to the trust prospectus, the mortgage note must be

endorsed in favor of the trust or endorsed in blank but Exhibit B is a recently created forgery which demonstrates that the original mortgage note was never transferred to the trust. Further discovery would be necessary to ascertain whether or not The Bank of New York Mellon f/k/a The Bank of New York ever authorized the purported servicer to bring this action or retain the Third-Party Defendant law firm BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. as a third party debt collector. Amy Jo Brown reserves her right to engage in discovery, should Plaintiffs Complaint not be dismissed with prejudice for the attempted fraud upon Amy Jo Brown and the Waukesha County Circuit Court. e. Amy Jo Brown acknowledges that the majority of jurisdictions have held that defendants in otherwise lawful foreclosure do not have standing to assert the rights of the investors under REMIC trust instruments because the homeowners are generally not held to be third party beneficiaries of the trusts upon which the loan funds are created. That is not the case here. She is asserting her own rights not to be sued on a note executed in favor of a party with

no capacity to enter into a contract, to transact banking whereby funds could have been transmitted to the make the loan, had no capacity to loan money, has no capacity to enter into a transaction whereby her note could be transferred by signed endorsement or endorsement in blank, could not contract to be a member of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc. (MERS) as nominee for purposes of the purported trusts purported acceptance of the mortgage security. Americas Wholesale Lender, an assumed name, could not own an interest in lands or hold a mortgage thereon in Wisconsin or in any other state in the United States following the Anglo-American system of jurisprudence by statute or common law5 or assign any interest in

She does not know the Napoleonic Code, which is followed by Louisiana, but assumes that French law of the 18th Century from which it was derived and as it developed in the United States of America would not permit a nonexistent entity to engage in conduct for which Anglo-American

12

land by nominee or otherwise. In addition to requiring that a REMIC trust accept only lawfully endorsed mortgage notes and properly secured mortgage loans, the timing of the transfer here would require the Trustee to reject the asset as having been assigned too late in time (if it was ever received) or, being an unlawful and void mortgage note and mortgage given to an assumed name without legal existence, it would have to reject mortgage note and corresponding mortgage instrument or be liable for engaging in void and ultra vires acts. f. Upon the discovery of the true facts of this transaction as understood by Amy Jo Brown, the Trustee of the REMIC Trust would be required to locate the party responsible for transferring the void note and mortgage to the trust under the pleaded common form of ownership or, the trust instrument, require that party to buy back the void attempted transfer and refer the party responsible for making the transfer for criminal fraud. g. Further, upon her own knowledge, she does not owe any money to Americas Wholesale Lender, its servicing agent or the purported REMIC trust. When the fraudulent asset transfer is set aside by the purported Trustee, acting in its fiduciary capacity, by identification of the party responsible for this fraudulent sale, if it ever took place, Amy Jo Brown would have the right to raise her defenses and plead her counterclaims against that party. As a banker, she cannot even be sure that the closing check was ever paid to the title companys bank for distribution under the closing statement. She knows that it is possible that the instrument submitted for payment could have been a site draft and returned to the issuer of the instrument for payment and went unpaid. If that occurred, the title companys bank may never have been paid in clear funds. This could have resulted in a loss to the capital of whichever bank received the unpaid site draft and could have resulted in a write-off against its capital reserves. The bank taking that loss would then be the real party in interest to recover the funds from her, but the statute of limitations has expired for that recovery, but for an allegation that she participated in the fraud herself, which she did not, having only recently become aware of the frauds in this transaction and having seen the forged mortgage note presented to her counsel in support of the allegation of standing by Third-Party Defendant Demakopoulus on February 23,

jurisprudence requires legal capacity.

13

2012. There may be a jurisdiction somewhere on the planet which monetized the original mortgage note given to a nonexistent entity (Americas Wholesale Lender, an assumed name) and is circulating it through the international banking system, perhaps as security for a derivative, but she has no experience in international banking and is incapable of researching international banking fraud, although she has recently become aware of such research being performed and will seek to obtain that evidence in the course of these proceedings. g. Amy Jo Brown has already paid $150,000.00 on a void mortgage note and she should she lose her home for refusing to continue to pay on a void mortgage note, not owned by or owed to the party for which the Plaintiff claims to be the servicer, the CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust or its purported Trustee, The Bank of NewYork Mellon. Whatever payments she made on the mortgage note and to whomever those payments were ultimately sent, in the approximate amount of $150,000.00, those payments were procured by fraud upon her and the local bank and should be disgorged by the party responsible for the fraud. She does not know the identity of that party and the Trustee, if it is acting in a fiduciary capacity, has a duty to discover and disclose the fraud to the holder of certificates of beneficial interest. h. Amy Jo Brown affirmatively alleges, as a matter of fact and law, that Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) is a sham organization and front for securitization trusts. i. Amy Jo Brown further alleges upon personal knowledge that the mortgage in which MERS was nominated (Exhibit C attached to the Complaint) was made in favor of a party without legal capacity to lend her money, did not lend her any money and could not record an interest on Wisconsin lands, either in its own name or by nomination of MERS as its mortgagee of record. Further affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge, that Americas Wholesale Lender is not a member of the MERS system (because it cannot be, having no legal capacity.) j. Amy Jo Brown affirmatively alleges, as a matter of law, that the operation of the MERS parallel private recording system in place of the duly-elected and constitutionally authorized Registers of Deeds for counties in the State of Wisconsin (cf. Chapter 59 of the Wisconsin Statutes, particularly at Wis. Stats. sec. 59.49, et seq.) is illegal and void and any 14

mortgage containing the MERS as nominee provision is void as against public policy. l. Amy Jo Brown further affirmatively alleges that MERS violates the sovereignty of the State of Wisconsin and its laws. m. Amy Jo Brown further affirmatively alleges that MERS is not authorized to do business in the State of Wisconsin as a private corporation and that its nominal holding of record title was deliberately created to allow for it to facilitate unlawful debt collection practices by a variety of entities which sought to conceal their true identities from government regulators, homeowners and the courts of the State of Wisconsin and is void as against public policy. 3. Admits paragraph 3. 4. Denies paragraph 4 and affirmatively alleges that she is an unmarried woman. 5. Responding to the allegations in paragraph 5 of the Complaint and affirmatively alleging, on personal knowledge or upon information and belief, as the case may be, and denies paragraph 5 in its entirety, putting Plaintiff to its proof as to every element necessary to establish its standing to proceed in this action: a. Affirmatively alleges, as a matter of fact and law, that Mortgage Electronic Registrations System, Inc. (MERS) is a sham organization and front for securitization trusts, the mortgage in which MERS was nominated was in favor of a party without legal capacity to loan money and could not have been and never was a member of the MERS system. b. Further affirmatively alleges, as a matter of law, that the operation of a parallel private recording system to the duly-elected and constitutionally authorized Registers of Deeds for counties in the State of Wisconsin is illegal. Chapter 59 of the Wisconsin Statutes, particularly at Wis. Stats. sec. 59.49, et seq. preempts and precludes the legal effect of private recording system for lands in the state of Wisconsin. c. MERS violates the sovereignty of the State of Wisconsin and its laws and is further not authorized to do business in the State of Wisconsin as a private corporation. d. The mortgage interest purportedly held by MERS is void and the assignment from MERS is, likewise, void and without any force and effect. 6. Responding to the allegations in paragraph 6 of the Complaint and affirmatively alleging, on personal knowledge or upon information and belief, as the case may 15

be, and denies paragraph 6 in its entirety, putting Plaintiff to its proof as to every element necessary to establish its standing to proceed in this action: a. Affirmatively alleges, as a matter of fact and law, that MERS is a sham organization and front for securitization trusts. b. Further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief the mortgage in which MERS was nominated was in favor of a party, Secured Funding Corporation, which was without legal capacity to do business in the State of Wisconsin (its lending license had been revoked in the State of California at the time this loan was made) and is not and never was a member of the MERS system. c. Further affirmatively alleges that the operation of a parallel private recording system is to the duly-elected and constitutionally authorized Registers of Deeds for counties in the State of Wisconsin is illegal. Chapter 59 of the Wisconsin Statutes, particularly at Wis. Stats. sec. 59.49, et seq. preempts the operation of a private recording system for lands in the state of Wisconsin is void as against public policy. d. Further affirmatively alleges that MERS violates the sovereignty of the State of Wisconsin and its laws and is further not authorized to do business in the State of Wisconsin as a private corporation. e. Further affirmatively alleges that the mortgage interest purportedly held by MERS is void and the assignment from MERS is, likewise, void and without any force and effect. 7. Denies paragraph 7. and affirmatively alleges that Exhibit A is hearsay. Further affirmatively alleges, upon information and belief, that HSBC Mortgage Services, Inc. did not loan her any money as and for a second mortgage on her home and no money is owed by her to it. 8. Denies paragraph 8. and reincorporates her Answer the Complaint herein at paragraphs 2. and 5., as if fully set forth herein. 9. Denies paragraph 9. and reincorporates her Answer the Complaint herein at paragraphs 2., 5. and 8., as if fully set forth herein. 10. Denies paragraph 10. its entirety, affirmatively alleges, upon personal knowledge, 16

that she owes nothing to the putative Plaintiff whatsoever and that paragraph 10 of the Complaint is a fraud upon her and before this Court. In support of this allegation, she reincorporates her Answer the Complaint herein at paragraphs 2., 5. 8. and 9. as if fully set forth herein. 11. Admits that she received correspondence from Bank of America, N.A., purporting to be a debt collector and made a qualified written request under the Real Estate Settlement Practice Act, 12 U.S.C. sec. 2601, et. seq., to which Bank of America, N.A. responded that it had sent the debt collection letter to her by mistake. Thereafter, she was served with the Summons and Complaint in this matter. 12. Responding to the allegations in paragraph 12 of the Complaint and affirmatively alleging, on personal knowledge or upon information and belief, as the case may be, and denies paragraph 12 in its entirety, putting Plaintiff to its proof as to every element necessary to establish its standing to proceed in this action: a. Admits paragraph 12 only insofar as she admits that she resides at her homestead located at 15945 Ridgefield Court in Brookfield, Wisconsin and that the legal description of her homestead appears to be correct, without admitting or denying that the legal description is, in fact, correct. b. Denies that the real estate is subject to this action in any way, continuing to object to the subject matter jurisdiction of this Court to decide any matter related to the putative Plaintiff (or both putative Plaintiffs) by its (their) Complaint for lack of their standing. Both parties have legal capacity to be sued, however, and the purported Defendant accepts their choice of forum, without accepting the jurisdiction of the Court to grant any remedy to the putative Plaintiffs, because it (they) voluntarily invoked the in personam jurisdiction of this Court and the Amy Jo Brown accepts the in personam jurisdiction over the matters which she has standing to raise and chooses to raise because the Plaintiff(s) have wasted the time of the Court and her resources by this action bringing false and fraudulent claims against her. c. There is precedent for this Court to reject subject matter jurisdiction over the

17

claims of the Plaintiff(s) and grant Amy Jo Brown the limited relief she requests herein,6 reserving her other claims as allowed by the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure, allowing for permissive joinder of claims. Wis. Stats. sec. 803.02. d. In the alternative, if the Court finds that it must dismiss this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and that proceeding on the counterclaims could, in any way be deemed to be a waiver of the continuing objection to the Courts subject matter jurisdiction to provide relief to the Plaintiff(s) [which the Defendant does not believe to be the case because even subject matter jurisdiction may be waived if not preserved by motion to dismiss before filing an answer] the Defendant consents to the simultaneous dismissal of her counterclaims and third party complaint, which claims will be brought as a Complaint in a new or new actions, subject to her demand for attorneys fees for the commencement and continuation of an action in violation of Wis. Stats. sec. 802.05 by the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and prosecuted by Third-Party Defendants Russell J. Karnes and Christina Demakopoulos on evidence created by Third-Party Defendant J. Timothy Lovett, according to the patterns and practices of the law firm. 13. Neither admits or denies the statement in paragraph 13 and re-alleges and reincorporates by reference each and every allegation of the foregoing Answer, except for paragraphs 6. and 7. (which are not relevant to the statement in paragraph 13.) as affirmative allegations in the Answer to this paragraph 13., as if fully set forth herein. 14. Denies paragraph 14., lacks sufficient knowledge as to whether Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. and HSBC Bank have been served with process to make them subject to the personal jurisdiction of this Court and affirmatively re-alleges and reincorporates by reference each and every allegation of paragraphs 1-12 of the Answer, as if fully set forth herein and excludes her Answer to paragraph 13., which is irrelevant this paragraph 14.

Although voluntarily dismissed, prosecution of improperly venued actions violated the consumer act, and the defendants were prevailing parties under s. 425.308 entitled to attorney fees. Community Credit Plan, Inc. v. Johnson, 228 Wis. 2d 30, 596 N.W.2d 799 (1999), 97-0574. Note: The Wisconsin Consumer Act provides that commencement of an action outside of the consumers county of residence requires dismissal for lack of a subject matter jurisdiction. So it is here, but the subject matter jurisdiction arises from lack of standing under the constitutional authority of the Wisconsin courts.

AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES 15. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to grant relief to the Plaintiff(s) because it does not have standing to sue Amy Jo Brown as described in paragraphs 1-12 and paragraph 14, above and the foreclosure Complaint must be dismissed. 16. Counsel for the Plaintiff(s), Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. is disqualified from representing the Plaintiff(s) because there is a conflict of interest between it and the Plaintiff(s) based first on the law firms status as a material witness to forgery and its own creation of an assignment of a void mortgage and then, upon its inaction to dismiss these proceedings or withdraw as counsel herein for conflict of interest, which has made it necessary for the Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff to join the BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and its employees, known and unknown, as Third-Party Defendants as now knowing participants in an effort to use these court proceedings to collect a debt now known not to be owed to the Plaintiff(s) and persisting in perpetrating a crime and a fraud in these proceedings. 17. The Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and certain of its employees are Third-Party Defendants in this case. An unwaivable conflict of interest arises between the Third-Party Defendant law firm and the Plaintiff. A corporation cannot appear in Wisconsin courts without counsel and the Complaint must be dismissed. New counsel for the Plaintiff must be retained to answer the Counterclaims. 18. The Plaintiff(s) have unclean hands based upon the conduct described in the foregoing paragraphs 1-12, and 15-17, of the Answer and the conduct described below in paragraphs 19-86, incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. It cannot avail itself of any equitable remedies in these proceedings, including, but not limited to foreclosure on real estate, equitable assignment of mortgage interests, or equitable revision of contract and the Complaint must be dismissed. 19. Americas Wholesale Lender does not exist, has no legal capacity to engage in any business transaction whatsoever and the lack of legal capacity cannot be cured by substituting a real party in interest in these proceedings under Wis. Stats. sec. 803.01, without equitable assignment or equitable revision of the contract, which are not available remedies in this case, as set forth in paragraph 18, above, and the Complaint must be dismissed. 19

Third-Party Defendant Russell J. Karnes is an employee of Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and has engaged in the acts complained of in paragraphs 1 and 2 above and the acts complained of below. 33. In furtherance of the effort to use the Waukesha County Circuit Court in its scheme

to collect a debt not owed to the Plaintiff(s), Third-Party Defendants Karnes, BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., Bank of America, N.A. and The Bank of New York Mellon, N.A. f/k/a The Bank of New York, as (implied) Trustee of the Certificateholders of CWALT, Inc. Alternative Loan Trust 2004-35T2 Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2004-35T2 have attempted to intimidate counsel for Amy Jo Brown in attempt to have the verified pleadings in which the forged note is essential evidence in the possession of the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. withdrawn. 34. It is obvious that Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. is using court processes to attempt to conceal the crimes of the Plaintiff, MERS and its own participation therein. 35. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has engaged in continuing effort to harass and intimidate Amy Jo Brown by mailing letters addressed to Unknown Spouse of Amy Jo Brown after the Complaint was answered, knowing that she is represented, after Amy Jo Brown verified under oath that she is unmarried and having no reason to believe in good faith that such mailings are for a legitimate purposes and are an attempt to harass Amy Jo Brown in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which prohibits debt collectors from contacting parties known to be represented by counsel. 36. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has a business practice of allowing its paralegals to engage in the unauthorized practice of law to increase its profits from its activities as a debt collector. 37. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has a business practice of 21

having its paralegals contact represented parties. 39. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has a business practice of fabricating documents it needs to attempt to establish standing to take homes in foreclosure. 40. Upon information and belief, Third-Party Defendants Deborah Ann Bloomer and James M. Peterman encourage their employees to engage in violations of law to gain litigation advantage or, in the alternative, fail to adequately train, supervise and manage the firms employees to prevent violations of law. 41. Upon information and belief, Third-Party Defendant James M. Peterman created and promoted a business model in which he would execute mortgage assignments from MERS to his own clients and would sign the mortgage assignments as a signing officer of MERS. 42. Upon information and belief, the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. in its foreclosure practice is one of the key organizational components in the management and control of the racketeering enterprise described below, in which Bank of America, N.A. and MERS also perform essential management, control and direction toward the goal of taking Wisconsin homes with fabricated and forged documents, making false claims for losses upon the foreclosures to the United States Treasury in order to receive financial benefits from foreclosing on Wisconsin homes. 43. Bank of America, N.A. neither owns nor holds the mortgage notes or lawfully holds the mortgagee interests through MERS for the homes upon which it forecloses in Wisconsin and MERS and BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., acting in concert with Bank of America, S.C., conceal this fact from regulators, benefactors (such as GSEs and the US Treasury) homeowners and courts at all times in which BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has engaged in debt collection practices for Bank of America, N.A. 44. BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has twice tried to take Amy Jo Browns home for a debt it knows or reasonably should know is not owed by Amy Jo Brown to the Plaintiff and its predecessor in interest, BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP nor is it owned by either the current Plaintiff herein or its predecessor. 45. BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has engaged in the practices described herein in an effort to make it appear that Plaintiff and its predecessor in interest have the right to collect a 22

void debt. 46. 15 USC sec. 1692e provides generally: A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section: . . . and 15 USC sec, 1692e(2) provides, in relevant part: (2) The false representation of (A) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt . . . and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has engaged in numerous acts of false, deception and misleading representation of the character, amount or legal status of the debt it is attempting to collect, not just to the Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff, but to the Waukesha County Circuit Court in two foreclosure actions (including in the currently pending Complaint) and in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, as well as courts and homeowners throughout Wisconsin. 47. Upon information and belief, Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., and its shareholders, Third-Party Defendants Deborah Ann Blommer and James M. Peterman have developed, engaged in and persist in following a business model of creating and having employees of the firm create documents to create the appearance that debts it and they are seeking to collect are valid and enforceable when those debts are, in fact, not supported by the true documentary record. 48. In the alternative, upon information and belief, Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., and its shareholders, Third-Party Defendants Deborah Ann Blommer and James M. Peterman persistently fail to supervise the attorney and nonattorney employees of the firm to assure that the debts which are being collected are valid and enforceable and not fraudulent and/or void. 49. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has routinely filed false and fabricated documents with the Wisconsin Registers of Deeds and files copies thereof in the Circuit Courts of the State of Wisconsin and the Bankruptcy Courts for the Western and Eastern District of Wisconsin. 23

50. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. has, for example, through July, 2011, created over 100 mortgage assignments filed in the office of the Kenosha County Register of Deeds upon which it sought to and, in most instances, successfully prosecuted foreclosure actions against Kenosha County homeowners using mortgage assignments created and/or executed by members of the firm, without sufficient diligence to assure that the mortgage assignments were based on the existence of and ownership of an original mortgage note. 51. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., by Third-Party Defendant J. Timothy Lovett, has, for example, in 2009, commenced and prosecuted a foreclosure action before the Portage County Circuit Court based upon a mortgage assignment created by another attorney at BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., Chaz M. Rodriguez. 52. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. uses unsupervised and undersupervised paralegals to deal with the homeowners who it contacts in its debt collection practice and who purport to have the direct authority from the Plaintiff to settle cases on debts not owned by or owed to it. 53. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. allows its attorneys to create mortgage assignments to be signed by persons in the employ of the assignees and not in the employ of the assignors and executed in the presence of captive notaries who are in the employ of the assignors. 54. The mortgage assignments created as described in paragraph 53 are void as without lawful authority. 55. Where there is no valid mortgage assignment, equitable assignment of the mortgage must be established in an action by the owner or lawful holder of the note with the right to enforce the note. 56. In a large number of mortgage foreclosures7 commenced by Third-Party Defendant

Discovery of the number of these foreclosures on Wisconsin homes generated under the BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. mortgage assignment document creation model will be sought, but it is already known from preliminary research that the number exceeds 100 in Kenosha County alone.

24

BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. prior to July 21, 2011,8 BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. created numerous mortgage assignments in house by signing for or obtaining signatures on mortgage assignments from the assignors to the assignors, without regard to the ownership or validity of the mortgage note. 57. Plaintiff has engaged in direct efforts to collect a debt which it does not own and which Amy Jo Brown does not owe to it in violation of the FCDPA, by making false, deceptive and misleading representation as to the character, amount, or legal status of the debt. 58. Plaintiff has engaged in a pattern and practice of violations of the FDCPA, from which the Plaintiff has suffered actual damages, statutory damages and for which she is entitled to recover her reasonable attorneys fees under 15 USC sec. 1692k, which provides: (a) Amount of damages Except as otherwise provided by this section, any debt collector who fails to comply with any provision of this subchapter with respect to any person is liable to such person in an amount equal to the sum of (1) any actual damage sustained by such person as a result of such failure; (2) (A) in the case of any action by an individual, such additional damages as the court may allow, but not exceeding $1,000; or (B) in the case of a class action, (i) such amount for each named plaintiff as could be recovered under subparagraph (A), and (ii) such amount as the court may allow for all other class members, without regard to a minimum individual recovery, not to exceed the lesser of $500,000 or 1 per centum of the net worth of the debt collector; and (3) in the case of any successful action to enforce the foregoing liability, the costs of the action, together with a reasonable attorneys fee as determined by the court. On a finding by the court that an action under this section was brought in bad faith and for the purpose of harassment, the court may award to the defendant attorneys fees reasonable in relation to the work expended and costs. 59. In June, 2011, before this second attempt to foreclose on Amy Jo Browns home commenced, BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP contacted Amy Jo Brown and instructed that the

July 21, 2011 is the date upon which Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc.(MERS), a Delaware corporation, under severe stress from investigations and litigation throughout the nation, including several of the nations attorneys general, including Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, informed its members, including the Plaintiff, that only the owner of the mortgage note could assign a mortgage out of the name of MERS, which was always the law, but which law had not been followed by MERS members and faux authorized signers for MERS, of which Third-Party Defendant James M. Peterman claimed to be one.

25

servicer was going to change, which notice is required by the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (RESPA) at 12 USC sec. 2601, et seq. 60. Amy Jo Brown then sent a qualified written request under the Real Estate

Settlement Practices Act to the Plaintiff to which the Plaintiff responded that the notice of transfer of servicing rights had been sent to her by mistake. 61. The response provided to Amy Jo Brown is not a proper response to the qualified written request she sent to it and entitles her to actual damages and her reasonable attorneys fees under 12 USC sec. 2605. 62. After the failure to respond to the qualified written request under RESPA, Plaintiff, as debt collector for some unidentified party, commenced this action through the offices of the Third-Party Defendant debt collector, BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. to collect payments on a debt not owned by it or owed to any entity appearing before this Court or known by Amy Jo Brown. 63. Despite the appearance of counsel for Amy Jo Brown, Bank of America, N.A., Bank of America contacted Amy Jo Brown just before Christmas in 2011, who has been represented by counsel since October, 2011, and told her she had to make arrangements to move out of her home, in violation of the FDCPA. 64. Bank of America Home Loans has been contacting Amy Jo Brown in violation of the FDCPA since she has been represented by counsel and informing her that if she will agree to a short sale of her home, she can avoid foreclosure, in violation of the FDCPA. 65. Plaintiff is put on notice that it and the Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and the Third-Party Defendant attorneys and non-attorney staff have committed numerous violations of the FDCPA, the specifics of each are too numerous to mention at this time and the failure to specifically plead each and every violation of the FDCPA, and by providing examples of the violations of the FDCPA at this time does not enumerate all of the instances of FDCPA violations in this case. 66. Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and their employees have engaged in a pattern and practice of creating forged and false business records, transmitting the false, forged and fraudulent documents by US mail in violation of 18 USC sec. 26

1341 and by wire in violation of 18 USC sec.1343, of which more than two predicate acts occurred in this case alone, for which Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. are civilly liable under the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly known as RICO) at 18 USC sec. 1964. 67. Defendant Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which has operated a scheme to conceal the identities of the owners of mortgage obligations by purporting to operate an electronic data base in competition with the duly authorized public land registries in order to facilitate the debt collection practices of its members. 68. Plaintiff is a member of the MERS electronic data base and used the data base to conceal the true ownership of mortgage obligations by circumventing the statutorily created and lawful recording offices of the Registers of Deeds in each Wisconsin county to permit the fraudulent assignment of mortgages to be filed in the court actions to foreclose on debt which is not secured by a lawful assignment of mortgage from the true owner of the mortgage note (the assignor) to a party lawfully entitled to enforce the mortgage by foreclosure (the assignor.) 69. Plaintiff, Defendant MERS and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. acted in concert to create false business records and to facilitate the creation of false business records, which were transmitted by US mail and by wire to Wisconsin county deed registries and state and federal courts in the state of Wisconsin to make it appear to homeowners and Wisconsin courts that they were engaging in lawful debt collection practices, when, in fact, they were operating a scheme to take title to Wisconsin homes through foreclosure and by bankruptcy court motions to lift the automatic stay and the filing of claims therein toward the same goal without proof of lawful ownership of the underlying debt which being collected through foreclosure, surrender and forced sale of Wisconsin homes. 70. The Plaintiff, Defendant MERS and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. each had management and control of an essential element of the racketeering enterprise and none could not have effectively operated the racketeering enterprise without the participation of the other. COUNTERCLAIMS AND THIRD PARTY COMPLAINT 27

COUNT I. VIOLATION OF THE REAL ESTATE SETTLEMENT PRACTICES ACT 71. Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff Amy Jo Brown incorporates and re-alleges paragraphs 1-61. 72. This Court has concurrent jurisdiction with the United States District Courts over the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (RESPA) at 12 USC sec. 2601, et seq. 73. Paragraphs 59-60 above constitute a violation of RESPA for which Amy Jo Brown is entitled to damages and her reasonable attorneys fees upon successful proof of the violation of federal law. COUNT II. VIOLATIONS OF THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT 74. Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff Amy Jo Brown incorporates and re-alleges paragraphs 1-70 as if set forth herein in their entirety. 75. This Court has concurrent jurisdiction with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to provide relief under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) at 15 USC sec. 1692, et seq. 76. Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. have engaged in numerous counts of attempting to coerce the Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff to pay a void debt and a debt not owned by it, under threat of taking her home, in violation of the FDCPA. 77. Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. have a pattern and practice of attempting to coerce homeowners in the State of Wisconsin into surrendering their homes for invalid claims that the debt is secured by their homes, supported by falsely created mortgage assignments out of MERS prepared by BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and executed by persons acting at the direction and with the consent of Plaintiff, Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and Defendant MERS. 78. Pursuant to 15 USC sec. 1692, et seq., Plaintiff and Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C., through their employees, have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and are liable to the Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff actual damages, statutory damages for each proven violation of the FDCPA and reasonable attorneys fees for the successful prosecution of the FDCPA Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint. Count III. VIOLATIONS OF THE RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT 28

ORGANIZATIONS ACT 79. Defendant and Third-Party Plaintiff Amy Jo Brown incorporates and re-alleges paragraphs 1-78. 80. This Court has concurrent jurisdiction with the United States District Courts over the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) at 18 USC sec. 1964. 81. Unlike the United States District Courts, the Waukesha County Circuit Court lacks nationwide service of process to enforce violations of RICO. 82. Plaintiff has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court to attempt to use its false and forged documents in furtherance of its corrupt business plan to deceive Wisconsin courts and take Wisconsin homes for debts not owed to it or owned by it and is properly before this Court. 83. Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and its employees named herein, are engaged in business in the State of Wisconsin and are within the jurisdiction of this Court for service of process. 84. Defendant MERS was joined by the Plaintiff in this action and the record does not show that it has been served with a copy of the Complaint. MERS, however, has substantial ties to the State of Wisconsin, having allowed itself to be the mortgagee of record on thousands of Wisconsin land titles, having formerly used Wisconsin courts under the pretext that it was the owner of Wisconsin mortgages and having done business in Wisconsin since at least 2002, despite the fact that it was secretly acting as a debt collector for unidentified parties and never registered to do business in the State of Wisconsin. MERS is properly before the Court. 85. Plaintiff, Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and its employees and MERS acted in concert to engage in mail fraud and wire fraud to take Wisconsin homes with forged and fraudulently created documents, including that of Amy Jo Brown and other homeowners. 86. There are more than two predicate acts of mail fraud and wire fraud in Amy Jo Browns case alone, without producing evidence of more that 100 other cases in which the racketeering parties (Plaintiff, Third-Party Defendant BLOMMER PETERMAN, S.C. and MERS) have acted in concert to defraud homeowners, the Wisconsin Registers of Deeds and the Wisconsin courts. 29
