This has been brewing for a while, but now it is entering actual legal proceedings.

Testimony in a New Jersey bankruptcy court case provides proof of the scenario we’ve depicted on this blog since September, namely, that subprime originators, starting sometime in the 2004-2005 timeframe, if not earlier, stopped conveying note (the borrower IOU) to mortgage securitization trust as stipulated in the pooling and servicing agreement.

Many other posts popping up rapidly. If there are lots of these, trusts may have to be unwound. Maybe this is another reason The Bernank is printing as fast as possible. I have seen guestimates that an unwinding would cost trillions of USD.
One of my friends said:
"On a real estate transaction... Countrywide ... failed to record on my unit."
Here is a summary diagram.

If this is pervasive, then the question becomes
"Why did they do this on purpose?"
Did they do it just for short term gains?
Did they know that eventually it would be discovered that the notes were not conveyed and the trusts would blow up, and they wanted that to happen?
Some other reason?
