The Justice Department plans to bring mortgage fraud cases against several financial institutions early in 2014,
using as a template the case that ended last month in JPMorgan Chase's
$13 billion settlement, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on
Wednesday.
In an interview with Reuters, Holder would not say which companies or how many could face lawsuits but said the Justice Department was in contact with them and it was hard to say whether the talks would lead to settlements.
"We have a number of investigations that are coming to a head at the
same time," he said. "It is my hope that the next round of these cases
will be filed soon after the new year." http://www.nbcnews.com/business/ag-holder-more-mortgage-fraud-cases-against-banks-2D11691631
