Caballero v. FCI Lender Services Inc
(3:22-cv-01578)
District Court, N.D. Texas
JUL 5, 2022 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: JUL 5, 2022
How is there even a Foreclosure Auction?
How did Caballero manage to keep the home and why is the Government not involved in the auction?
It’s clear to LIT from the complaint, that Jose Antonio Caballero somehow managed to keep his house while incarcerated, complaining to the court, via motion, that his home had been unlawfully seized by the US Marshals Service.
That stated, we’re not sure how he managed to keep a hold of the property, considering he was ordered to repay a million dollars in restitution, and his follow-up QWR letter to the servicer states that there’s at least $800k equity in the homestead.
A review of the criminal docket does not show any judge addressing doc. 53, the motion by Caballero or the government’s prosecutors arguing for seizure of the property – after the hearing was reset a couple of times and canceled again per doc 72 – (ORDER granting 69 Agreed Motion to Cancel Hearing as to Jose Antonio Caballero (1). Signed by Magistrate Judge Christine A. Nowak on 06/27/2016. (kkc, ) (Entered: 06/27/2016)), and which was never reset and a new time entered.
The next major event on the docket was Caballero’s release, doc. 77 – Probation/Supervised Release Jurisdiction Transferred to ND/TX, Dallas Div as to Jose Antonio Caballero Transmitted Transfer of Jurisdiction form with Docket Sheet, Indictment, and Judgment. (Entered: 07/25/2017).
Moving onto the 2022 complaint by Caballero, he complains that he personally attended the scheduled foreclosure sale/auction and that no sale happened.
Furthermore he complains that the $104k plus of payments made to his mortgage account (after his arrest in 2015), were never reflected on the mortgage statement.
He submitted this QWR via an attorney, Ryan Daniel, who sent a Qualified Written Request (QWR) to the mortgage loan servicer (but the letter is not dated as far as LIT can tell, perhaps allowing the servicer to ‘ignore’ the letter).
Daniel and Caballero would part ways and Caballero submitted a follow up QWR on Apr 1, 2022 to the servicer, wherein he complains that he’s attempted to sell the property for $800k profit but that has been ‘blocked’.
The name Caballero mentions, and which we understand to be the current owner of the purchased mortgage debt, based on our interpretation of his limited english on the letter, is Ron McMahon of American Mortgage Investment Partners, (AMIP Management) who is the CEO, per his Linkedin profile, for this California-based entity.
AMIP use FCI Lender Services Inc as their servicer, and as you should know if you read LIT, the lenders like Wilmington listed in this civil action are straw men, the debt has been sold to AMIP, a debt buyer.
Caballero’s counsel is sanctioned Wade Kricken, who we assume has performed due diligence before accepting ‘Antonio Caballero’ as his client.

'SEAL BEACH' OF COURSE, COMES BACK TO AMIP MGT
SHERMAN, Texas – A 55-year-old Dallas former mortgage broker has pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales.
Jose Antonio Caballero pleaded guilty to defrauding the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Federal Housing Administration today before U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant.
According to information presented in court, Caballero owned and operated American Processing Center, providing assistance to homeowners with mortgage loan modification programs, including the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).
Between March 2011 and December 2011, Caballero worked with homeowners in Mesquite, Texas to obtain an extension and renewal of a loan and mortgage on their residence on Bayberry Drive, which was insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In the process, Caballero falsified documents, including a Statement of Hardship Letter, a Monthly Income Expense Worksheet, and a Making Home Affordable Program Request for Modification and Affidavit. Caballero did so knowing the documents were fraudulent and for the purpose of defrauding the federal agencies.
Caballero also engaged in similar conduct with respect to 20 other properties located in Carrollton, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Fort Worth, Garland, Grand Prairie, Irving, Little Elm, Mesquite, and Rowlett, some of which were secured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Caballero faces up to two years in federal prison at sentencing. A sentencing date has not been set.
This law enforcement action is part of President Barack Obama’s Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes.
The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources.
The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
This case was investigated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Office of Inspector General and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher A. Eason.

The banks are listed in the sentencing and restitution order, for fraud perpetrated by then mortgage broker Caballero, including OneWest Bank, who took over Indymac, and where NO bankers went to jail for admitted fraudulent loan applications, inflating incomes, valuations and much more.
However, this choice by the US Government to protect the greedy, thievin’ criminality by bankers, none of whom went to jail for their crimes and are allowed to unlawfully steal homesteads from their own citizens, resulted in the persecution of law abiding Texas Citizens and homeowners like the now elder and disabled Burkes, in Kingwood, Texas, who have been in litigation for over a decade fighting judicial and legal corruption in Texas.
It’s abhorrent and it’s criminal.
