Who is Judge Meenu Sasser?

When Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum announced a probe into one of the state’s largest foreclosure law firms for allegedly fabricating legal papers used to speed up foreclosures, Hobe Sound attorney Trent Steele dubbed it “a good beginning.”

That’s because for a couple of years, he and other foreclosure attorneys have been questioning suspicious looking documents lenders have presented to judges statewide to expedite the thousands of foreclosure cases grinding their way through the courts.

“It’s far more than forging signatures,” Steele said about what he and other lawyers have witnessed first-hand. “I have never seen this kind of institutionalized fraudulent behavior going on.

“You hear about individuals, small businesses, where this kind of shenanigans occur,” he added, “but to see it on this broad of a scale, where it negatively impacts homeowners and the public — and seeing them lose their homes — it’s just something I’ve not experienced before.”

The FL Supreme Court has issued this order....which The Honorable Judge Meenu "The Rocket" Sasser apparently either did not receive or chooses to repeatedly ignore.

If bringing attention to a judge who is heavily invested in the parties she rules so expediently in favor of is a "rant"...so be it.

Qui tam (Black’s Law Dictionary pronunciation: kwày tæm) is an abbreviation from the Latin “qui tam pro domino rege quam pro sic ipso in hoc parte sequitur” meaning “who as well for the king as for himself sues in this matter.”

Black’s Law Dictionary defines a qui tam action as “an action brought by an informer, under a statute which establishes a penalty for the commission or omission of a certain act, and provides that the same shall be recoverable in a civil action, part of the penalty to go to any person who will bring such action and the remainder to the state or some other institution.”

Qui tam is a provision of the Federal Civil False Claims Act that allows private citizens to file a lawsuit in the name of the U.S. Government charging fraud by government contractors and others who receive or use government funds, and share in any money recovered.

This unique law was enacted by Congress in order to effectively identify and prosecute government procurement and program fraud and recover revenue lost as a result of the fraud.

The qui tam provision has had the effect of privatizing government legal remedies by allowing private citizens to act as “private attorneys general” in the effort to prosecute government procurement and program fraud. Although most of the early successes in qui tam actions have been against defense contractors, more and more actions are being filed that involve other governmental agencies such as Health and Human Services, Environment, Energy, Education, NASA, Agriculture and Transportation. U.S. recoveries for qui tam cases, as of the end of 2003, has totaled $7.8 billion. During the same period, relator shares, as a result of the recoveries, has totaled $1.3 billion.

The State of Tennesee, more accurately a citizen of The State of Tennessee, wants to recover the recording fees, doc stamp fees, etc. that got blown away in the mortgage securitization scheme.
