|---|
| Judge Bianco ruled against a motion filed by the United States Department of Justice to ban Ideal Mortgage Bankers Ltd., operating as Lend America, to originate FHA loans.
The Justice Department filed the motion since the mortgage company has a civil lawsuit pending. The company is accused of falsely certifying $14 million in mortgage payments. With the decision, Lend America can still originate loans while the separate lawsuit is still pending trial[3]. |
