Amended Counterclaims
Factual Background
Fannie Mae uses contract brokers such as K.O. to sell REO properties under
Master Listing Agreements.
16.
K.O. was originally engaged by Fannie Mae in December 2005 under a MLA to
serve as a Real Estate Broker in the Denver area managing and selling Fannie Mae’s
inventory of real estate owned (“REO”) assets accumulated because of foreclosures
and defaults.
17.
Before any broker becomes a vendor for Fannie Mae, the Broker must first
satisfy certain minimum requirements. These requirements are on Fannie Mae’s
Supplier Registration page on its website. A copy of the Supplier Registration page is
attached as Exhibit 1. For example, a prospective vendor must have been in business
for at least one year and must be able to demonstrate revenue for this period. In
addition, the prospective vendor must have and maintain a minimum of three W-2
employees.
18.
If a company meets these minimum requirements and wants to become a Fannie
Mae vendor it must register and establish a supplier profile in ProcureOne. The
instructions for potential REO brokers in how to do so are set forth in Fannie Mae’s
Supplier Registration Real Estate Broker-Agent Quick Reference Guide. A copy is
attached as Exhibit 2. A prospective vendor’s registration will be accepted in the
system only if there is no duplicate already registered. (Ex. 2, p. 6). This prohibits
Fannie Mae from having multiple vendors registered from the same company.
19.
As noted, K.O. registered with Fannie Mae and entered into a MLA with Fannie
Mae in 2005. Karen Frisone, K.O.’s owner, was the Responsible Broker on these
transactions. Over the years, Fannie Mae periodically required K.O. to execute a new
form of the MLA. K.O. also has both its SBA (Small Business Administration) and
WBENC (Woman Owned Business) certifications. These certifications were important
for K.O. to maintain, as they helped Fannie Mae meet the diversity requirements set
forth by HERA (Housing and Economic Relief Act). Fannie Mae often asked their
Vendors to become certified if they were eligible, so Fannie Mae could continue to meet
those requirements.
20.
Under the MLA, Fannie Mae also offers to list properties with a broker for sale.
When Fannie Mae does so, Fannie Mae issues a Listing Supplement to the company
identifying the broker individually, and identifying the property sale price and terms.
The MLA supplement grants the individual broker the sole right and authority to sell a
property during the time set forth in the Listing Supplement (or any extension to it)
unless the Listing Supplement or the MLA is terminated early under Section 7 of the
MLA.
21.
When Fannie Mae assigns a property to a broker, the property is identified by an
asset number. Each asset number begins with a letter that identifies the Fannie Mae
office that assigned the asset. For example, properties assigned from Dallas began
with a “D”, properties assigned from Chicago began with a “C”, and properties assigned
from Los Angeles (Irvine) began with an “L.”
22.
Once a property has been assigned to a broker, the broker must visit the
property weekly, provide relocation assistance to the occupants, execute sheriff
assisted evictions, prepare repair scopes, work with general contractors to prepare
properties for sale, conduct and supervise necessary maintenance on the home and
property, and pay outstanding liens and utilities. The broker is responsible for giving an
opinion of an appropriate price, negotiating offers and coordinating property closings.
The broker is reimbursed for out of pocket costs incurred in these tasks and paid a
commission as compensation for these services.
23.
Fannie Mae typically makes assignments to brokers based on the location of the
broker’s office to the location of the REO properties. By assigning brokers inventory
geographically convenient to the brokers, Fannie Mae insures its brokers are available
to provide quick and efficient service to the properties in case of an emergency.
24.
During the time K.O. worked with Fannie Mae, brokers had to maintain and
preserve Fannie Mae’s assets while the assets were prepared for and listed for sale.
Fannie Mae’s mission statement was “Neighborhood Stabilization” for a period of time.
A broker such as K.O. was trained by Fannie Mae to act quickly to rehabilitate and
maintain any property after it was assigned to the broker.
25.
Throughout her tenure, Ms. Frisone and K.O. were among Fannie Mae's top
selling contract brokers and regularly received praise for their work. On May 1, 2011,
K.O. executed a new MLA with Fannie Mae. A copy of the MLA is attached as Exhibit 3.
From May 2011 through September 2012, K.O. worked with the REO Disposition
Department in Fannie Mae’s Dallas office.
K.O. discovered Brokers using fake offices and fraudulently obtaining vendor
numbers from Fannie Mae.
26.
In August 2011, two Fannie Mae sales representatives, Karen Vines and Lauren
Purcell, visited the Denver area with their newly assigned sales manager, Chris
Cordina, who replaced Chris Kocks. Typically, when sales representatives visited their
territories, the sales representatives met with all of the approved REO brokers in
interactive sales and training meetings, and, as a group, they all caravanned and
toured listings together. However, that did not occur on this visit. This time, the Fannie
Mae sales representatives, along with their new sales manager Chris Cordina, spent the
two days touring exclusively with a Colorado REO broker, The Powers Team. No other
approved REO brokers were included on the tours.
27.
After being in town for a few days and touring exclusively with the Powers Team,
the Fannie Mae Sales representatives invited the other approved REO brokers to meet
them for a happy hour at the Ship’s Tavern, a bar in the exclusive Brown Palace Hotel &
Spa where they were staying. When Ms. Frisone arrived at the happy hour, it was clear
that the Fannie Mae sales representatives and members of The Powers Team had
been there for quite some time. They were ensconced at a table and did not really
interact with the rest of the REO brokers. After a period of time, Ms. Purcell and Ms.
Vines mingled with the other REO brokers, but Mr. Cordina never left the table where he
sat talking with members of The Powers Team.
28.
Starting shortly after that August 2011 visit, a man named Ross Sheahan was
added to the Fannie Mae REO broker distribution list, and received REO property
assignments in the Highland’s Ranch Douglas County area.
29.
One year later, around August 2012, two Fannie Mae REO brokers told Ms.
Frisone about a strange situation involving The Powers Team. Typically, at that time in
the market, all of the long tenured, top selling brokers such as K.O. had 20-30
properties assigned
However, The Powers Team, a/k/a Colorado Realty Source, had
over 100 listings. The Powers Team was a fairly new team in comparison to the others.
It was odd that The Powers Team would get so many assignments without having had
the benefit of Fannie Mae’s extensive training the longer tenured Brokers had received.
For example, in addition to the discontinued interactive training previously received
during the sales rep territory visits, in November 2008, Fannie Mae required all vendors
nationwide to attend mandatory training at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas in anticipation of
the flood of default inventory. The Powers Team had not participated in that training.
Yet, K.O. learned that newly hired Ross Sheahan and Joe Powers, both on the same
team, had four times the inventory as other historically top producing broker teams. The
members of The Powers Team are white males.
30.
Fannie Mae rules prohibit having multiple MLA’s with the same brokerage office.
As noted, Fannie Mae’s ProcureOne system will not allow a potential vendor to register
if there is a duplicate supplier already. (Ex. 2, p. 6). Thus, Mr. Sheahan could not be
added as a Fannie Mae Broker unless he had an office separate from that of Joe
Power’s office. Mr. Sheahan would need to be in his own brokerage office to obtain an
independent second vendor number, and receive REO asset assignments.
Furthermore, Mr. Sheahan’s office would need to have been in business for over one
year and to have at least three W-2 employees on his company’s payroll to legitimately
quality as a Fannie Mae vendor (Exhibit 1).
31.
Ms. Frisone learned that Mr. Sheahan worked with Mr. Powers. Because she
was always told that having two brokers in one office violated Fannie Mae’s regulations,
Ms. Frisone investigated this issue. As a member of The Powers Team, Mr. Sheahan
would not have had a company in business for over one year or three W-2 employees.
32.
Per the Colorado Division of Real Estate, Mr. Powers and Mr. Sheahan were
both members of Colorado Realty Source at 1225 Logan Street, Denver CO 80203. A
copy of the Colorado Division of Real Estate listing is attached as Exhibit 4. However,
in Fannie Mae’s HomePath.com listing, Joe Powers listed his company named as
Colorado Realty Sources, not “Source.” A copy of a Homepath.com listing with this
information is attached as Exhibit 5. In the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”), Mr.
Sheahan’s address was also listed as 1225 Logan Street, Denver, Colorado, 80203. A
copy of the MLS listing showing this address is attached as Exhibit 6. The Logan Street
address is in Northern Denver.
33.
However, in Fannie Mae’s HomePath website, Mr. Sheahan listed his office
address as 280 Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126. Copies of the Fannie Mae
Homepath.com listings of Ross Sheahan’s office address as 280 Plaza Drive, Highlands
Ranch, Colorado 80126 are attached as Exhibit 7. This address is in Southern Denver
and includes an area not normally assigned to a broker in Northern Denver (such as
The Powers Team or K.O.). Ms. Frisone drove to the 280 Plaza Drive address listed as
Mr. Sheahan’s office and discovered that no building exists at that address. Because
there was no building at 280 Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch, Colorado, Ms. Frisone
investigated further. There is a building at 200 Plaza Drive. Ms. Frisone went into that
building and found it contained executive suites. Ms. Frisone asked for Mr. Sheahan.
The receptionist had never heard of him and told Ms. Frisone she may have been
mistaken. Then, the office manager, overhearing that conversation, stepped in and
stated that Mr. Sheahan was part of the Joe Powers Team up north, and they rented an
executive suite there, but that Mr. Sheahan never actually worked at that address. The
Manager explained they have a number of nonresident Brokers who simply used that
location for mail purposes only, and they do not actually work at that location.
This is
common for traditional REALTORS® who provide services to the public, and work
primarily from home. It is not practical or possible for a volume REO property
management and sales operation, as Fannie Mae was aware when it established its
vendor procurement policies.
34.
Ms. Frisone also realized there was a conflict between how the properties were
listed between Fannie Mae’s Homepath.com website and the Denver MLS site. One
property in Exhibit 7 is 10079 Silvercliff Lane, Littleton, Colorado 80125. In Fannie
Mae’s Homepath.com website listing, Ross Sheahan of Colorado Realty Source, 280
Plaza Drive, Highlands Ranch, Colorado is shown as the listing broker. However, in the
Denver MLS, the same property had the listing agent of “The Powers Team.” A copy of
the Denver MLS is attached as Exhibit 8. According to the Denver MLS records, Mr.
Sheahan has never listed a Fannie Mae REO property.
Instead, 100% of Mr.
Sheahan’s Fannie Mae listings were listed as “The Powers Team” at the 1225 Logan St
address. They were only identified as Ross Sheahan’s listings in Fannie Mae’s
HomePath.com website.
35.
Ms. Frisone realized this fake office scheme allowed Mr. Sheahan and The
Powers Team to fraudulently induce Fannie Mae to issue a vendor identification
number for Mr. Sheahan in contravention of Fannie Mae’s procurement policies. This
allowed The Powers Team to obtain substantially more inventory than what was
normally assigned to any individual REO team. It also resulted in The Powers Team
getting property assignments in the southern sector of Denver’s suburbs, much farther
away from the proximity in which The Powers Team would normally receive
assignments from their north office location.
36.
Because of the volume of properties assigned to Mr. Powers and Mr. Sheahan
combined, Ms. Frisone was concerned that The Powers Team could not properly
preserve and maintain the Fannie Mae assets assigned to it given the size of its official
office roster. Because of the bricks and mortar nature of the industry, and the physical
hands on property management requirements meticulously outlined in the Fannie Mae
REO Broker Guidelines, management of a volume REO practice requires proper staff.
Given what she knew about the size of The Powers Team staff, compared to the
number of assets assigned to them at that time, Ms. Frisone did not believe that The
Powers Team had the resources to properly service and maintain the Fannie Mae
assets as required by the MLA between a broker and Fannie Mae.
37.
The fact that brokers were using false statements and fake office addresses to
fraudulent obtain vendor identification numbers from Fannie Mae was a subject of
concern to many brokers. On August 22-23, 2012, Ms. Frisone attended a Freddie Mac
Regional training meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota. While Ms. Frisone was at the
meeting, the topic of brokers using fake offices to obtain additional vendor numbers was
the subject of widespread discussion among the attending brokers, many of whom (like
K.O.) had relationships with Fannie Mae in addition to Freddie Mac.
38.
In doing some additional research, Ms. Frisone discovered that Mr. Sheahan and
The Powers Team were not the only vendors who used fake offices to get established
as vendors for Fannie Mae. Ms. Frisone discovered many other examples of this
occurring in other parts of the country.
39.
Because numerous Fannie Mae documents (such as the MLA, REO Sales
Guidelines, Supplier Services Rules and Expectations and the Fannie Mae Code of
Conduct) all require Ms. Frisone to report suspected fraud, Ms. Frisone knew she
needed to report this use of fake offices to fraudulently induce vendor relationships, the
circumvention of Fannie Mae policies, and the harm to Fannie Mae’s assets. By using a
fake office address and fake business name to fraudulently obtain his own vendor
number, Mr. Sheahan fraudulently induced Fannie Mae to set him up as a vendor. He
was then able submit claims to Fannie Mae and obtain payment through this fraudulent
scheme. Because Fannie Mae is a government sponsored enterprise chartered by
Congress and under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency
(“FHFA”), this fraudulent inducement scheme caused false claims to be submitted to the
government.
40.
Because of her long relationship with Fannie Mae, Ms. Frisone fully knew of
Fannie Mae’s obligations to make complete and accurate reports to the federal
government about its business practices in order to receive Treasury funding.
As required by Fannie Mae, Ms. Frisone reported the fraudulent activity she
discovered to Chris Cordina of Fannie Mae’s Dallas office. K.O. was immediately
retaliated against by Fannie Mae after this meeting.
41.
Ms. Frisone contacted Chris Cordina, her Sales Manager at the time, on August
31, 2012 to schedule a meeting with him while she was attending the Five Star
Conference in Dallas. However, Fannie Mae’s Dallas office knew of Ms. Frisone’s
concerns about this fraudulent inducement even before Ms. Frisone met with Mr.
Cordina. After Ms. Frisone returned from the mid-August Freddie Mac training session,
Ms. Frisone had a telephone conference with Greg Wood, a Fannie Mae Sales
representative from whom she regularly received property assignments.
Mr. Wood
asked Ms. Frisone if she had attended the recent Regional Freddie Mac training in
Minnesota. When she said yes, Mr. Wood asked her if she was the person running
around talking about the fake offices. This odd conversation reaffirmed to Ms. Frisone
she needed to report this activity to a senior level as soon as possible.
42.
When attending the Five Star Conference in Dallas, TX the following month Ms.
Frisone was randomly seated at table during a 5-Star FORCE event with Bill Cullinan, a
Fannie Mae employee who had been K.O.’s Sales Manager from 2007 through 2011.
Ms. Frisone asked Mr. Cullinan a hypothetical question about whether two brokers from
the same office could have separate vendor ID numbers, and if brokers could be set up
as approved Fannie Mae brokers by using fake office addresses. Mr. Cullinan was
shocked and said that if Ms. Frisone knew of such a situation, she needed to tell
someone. When Ms. Frisone told Mr. Cullinan she had a meeting scheduled with Mr.
Cordina to do just that, he replied, “Good.”
43.
On September 6, 2012, Ms. Frisone met privately with Mr. Cordina to discuss the
fraudulent inducement of vendor numbers by fake offices and other false statements.
During that meeting, Ms. Frisone alerted Mr. Cordina that The Powers Team had two
brokers in the same office. She asked why The Powers Team had two vendor
identification numbers in one office location despite Fannie Mae policies to the contrary,
and pointed out the second office address was a non-existent office address where no
building actually existed. Ms. Frisone questioned why The Powers Team had four
times as many properties as any other Denver broker. When Ms. Frisone showed Mr.
Cordina a copy of the Colorado Division of Real Estate listing that showed Mr. Powers
and Mr. Sheahan worked in the same firm (Exhibit 4), he refused to look at it and
physically pushed the documents back at her. Ms. Frisone provided examples to Mr.
Cordina that the physical condition of the Fannie Mae Assets was suffering and many
were being misrepresented in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
44.
In doing so, Ms. Frisone was reporting fraud and a violation of Fannie Mae’s
policies to Mr. Cordina, as the MLA and other Fannie Mae policies required she do. Ms.
Frisone was explaining Mr. Sheahan’s separate vendor number was fraudulently
induced through the fraudulent use of a fake office address and a fake company name
(which closely resembled the correct company name). This resulted in his obtaining a
vendor number fraudulently and being allowed to fraudulently submit claims to Fannie
Mae for payment. Because she knew preservation of assets was a key Fannie Mae
concern, Ms. Frisone tried to explain to Mr. Cordina how this fraudulent activity harmed
Fannie Mae’s assets, increased holding costs and caused lost equity.
45.
Shockingly, Mr. Cordina refused to engage in the discussion and abruptly cut Ms
Frisone off as she tried to explain the fraudulent activity. He was not interested in
hearing about the fake offices and fraudulent inducement of vendor numbers, the
fraudulent circumvention of Fannie Mae guidelines, or the harm to Fannie Mae assets.
Instead, he shouted at Ms. Frisone they were “not going to talk about Joe Powers. Not
now. Not ever.” Mr. Cordina became quite angry and stood up and paced around the
room. He even waved his arms and shook his finger at Ms. Frisone, telling her she
needed to worry about herself and that he would not discuss another broker with her.
When Ms. Frisone pointed to the Fannie Mae Code of Conduct that required her to
report the fake offices, fraudulent circumvention of Fannie Mae’s vendor policies and
the preferential treatment given to The Powers Team, Mr. Cordina told her that if she
brought the issue up again, she would be fired. When he threatened to fire Ms. Frisone,
she responded, “For what, reporting fraud? Aren’t there laws against that?” Ms.
Frisone, who had the Employee Code of Conduct with her in the meeting, pointed out
the anti-retaliation policy to Mr. Cordina and asked how she could be fired for making
such a report. Ms. Frisone noted that K.O. had a spotless record with Fannie Mae and
had never been reprimanded for poor performance or anything else. Mr. Cordina then
referred to an alleged incident with sales representative Karen Vines. When Ms.
Frisone told Mr. Cordina she knew of no incident with Karen Vines and suggested they
telephone Ms. Vines together at that moment to find out what Mr. Cordina was talking
about, Mr. Cordina immediately backed down.
46.
Mr. Cordina then stated he would be happy to discuss any other concerns Ms.
Frisone had, as long as they did not involve The Powers Team. Ms Frisone told Mr.
Cordina of the incident where a former evicted homeowner of property 128 Karlann St.
took up a campsite residence on the vacant lot next door, and harassed all potential
buyers who came to view the property. Ms Frisone had filed a complaint for Fannie
Mae with the local Sheriff and cooperated with local law enforcement to have the former
owner removed for “illegal camping”. The occupant could not be removed by the
Sherriff until 30 days from the complaint had passed. On the 26th day, after getting a call
from a concerned Buyer’s Agent about the threats made to her client, Ms. Frisone
informed her sales representative, Hani Kelly, that the public may be in imminent
danger and K.O. should stop showing the property for four more days until the
disgruntled evicted former homeowner could be legally removed. Ms Kelly immediately
reassigned the property to Joe Powers, and told Ms. Frisone that Mr. Powers would not
be afraid to market the property. The Sheriff was upset and dismayed that Ms. Frisone
could no longer be a witness in his “illegal camping” charges. The case against the
evicted homeowner was dismissed.
Mr. Cordina stated that Ms. Kelly told him of the
incident, and he approved the reassignment of the asset. Mr. Cordina then ended the
meeting.
47.
Ms. Frisone was dismayed by Mr. Cordina’s reaction to her report of the use of
fake offices and false statements to fraudulently induce Fannie Mae to enter into vendor
relationships and how this resulted in false claims being submitted to Fannie Mae. She
was dismayed that Mr. Cordina would not even review the documents she had gathered
to prove a fake office was being used by Mr. Sheahan to fraudulently induce Fannie
Mae into setting him up as a vendor, that a false business name was used that closely
resembled the correct business name, and that Mr. Sheahan was a broker with The
Powers Team who should not have been granted a separate vendor number by Fannie
Mae. Ms. Frisone was dismayed that Mr. Cordina was not interested in learning how
The Powers Team was being given preferential treatment through this fraudulent
scheme to the detriment of Fannie Mae and other brokers. Ms. Frisone was dismayed
Mr. Cordina ignored the safety of the public where the Karlann property was concerned.
In hindsight, after Ms. Frisone recalled how Mr. Cordina socialized only with The
Powers Team during his August 2011 Denver visit, his conduct made more sense.
48.
Ms. Frisone was convinced that K.O.’s long relationship with Fannie Mae had
come to an end and that Mr. Cordina would make good on his threat to fire K.O.
because she made this report of fraud. When Ms. Frisone left the meeting, she was
visibly distraught. Several other conference attendees saw her and asked her how the
meeting went. She told those brokers she believed K.O. would be fired because of the
information she had given Mr. Cordina. She then called her office and told them that
the meeting did not go well, and that she believed she would be fired as a result.
49.
Ms. Frisone’s worst fears proved true. The retaliation against K.O. began
immediately. In the few weeks following her conversations with Mr. Wood and Mr.
Cordina, K.O.’s property assignments declined dramatically. K.O. believes that the
property assignment declined because Mr. Cordina made good on his threat.
Fannie Mae’s retaliation against K.O. continued and even escalated when
oversight of K.O. was transferred to Fannie Mae’s Irvine office. K.O.’s property
assignments fell dramatically.
50.
A few weeks later, Fannie Mae ostensibly transferred oversight of the Colorado
brokers from the Dallas, Texas office to the Irvine, California office and the phase-out of
K.O. began in earnest. Ms. Frisone’s new sales representatives were Kelvin Zelaya,
Kenneth Chow and Linda “Candy” Tompkins. The new Sales Manager was Eileen
Conrad. Although the files being assigned to the Colorado brokers were supposed to
be coming from the California office, the files continued to have a “D” designation
(meaning the Dallas office) instead of an “L” designation for the Los Angeles (Irvine)
office. It is questionable whether the file assignments were truly originating from the
Irvine office. For the first time ever, the sales representatives would not disclose which
zip codes they were responsible for, which made it difficult to ask questions about
territories.
51.
When this transfer occurred, Fannie Mae’s Dallas office retaliated against K.O.
by disparaging Ms. Frisone and K.O. to the Irvine sales representatives to insure that
K.O. got no new property assignments. Shortly after the introductory conference call,
Mr. Zelaya phoned Ms. Frisone and told her that the “Dallas people had nothing good to
say” about Ms. Frisone and that she “was trouble.” He asked her why she thought they
would say that. Ms. Frisone, hoping for a fresh start with the Irvine office, urged Mr.
Zelaya to look at her history of performance so he would understand she was a top
performer. Mr. Zelaya confirmed he had reviewed her file and was impressed with her
numbers and that the Irvine office would give her the benefit of the doubt, in spite of the
warnings from the Dallas Fannie Mae employees.
52.
Despite this promise, the number of property assignments that K.O. received was
just a small fraction of the available inventory the first month and then next to nothing
moving forward. While inventories for all brokers were lower than in the past, The
Powers Team, including Ross Sheahan with his fake office and fraudulently obtained
vendor number, continued to receive an inexplicably high volume of assignments,
allowing the submission of false claims to Fannie Mae.
53.
While frustrated by the lack of assignments, Ms. Frisone thought it best to take a
wait and see approach to see if her inventory volume would increase. During the next
six months (September 2012 to March 2013), Ms. Frisone made no complaints to
anyone at Fannie Mae. However, K.O. received a very low volume of assignments,
particularly as compared to other brokers, including The Powers Team. After six
months of patiently waiting, Ms. Frisone finally had to conclude that Mr. Cordina had
made good on his threat and that K.O. had been effectively fired from the moment Ms.
Frisone had told Mr. Cordina about the fake offices and the fraudulent circumvention of
Fannie Mae policies. As she was selling off her existing inventory, and it was not being
replenished with any new inventory, Ms. Frisone knew it would only be a matter of time
before she had no inventory left at all.
Ms. Frisone reported the fake offices, fraudulently obtained vendor numbers and
other issues to multiple Fannie Mae employees in the Irvine office. None took
K.O.’s claims seriously. One asked Ms. Frisone for a bribe. And, Fannie Mae
continued to retaliate against K.O.
54.
Because she was frustrated by the continued decline in the K.O. assignments,
Ms. Frisone finally raised the fraudulent office situation and the fraudulent circumvention
of Fannie Mae policies with both Mr. Zelaya and Ms. Tompkins. When Ms. Frisone
mentioned it to Mr. Zelaya, he ignored her. Because she had been threatened by Mr.
Cordina with termination if she ever mentioned the fake offices again, when discussing
the fake offices and fraudulent inducement of vendor numbers through this fraudulent
circumvention of Fannie Mae policies with the Irvine office, Ms. Frisone tried to explain
how this harmed the preservation of Fannie Mae assets. When Ms. Frisone mentioned
the net effect of this broker’s fraudulently obtaining a vendor number and how Fannie
Mae assets were being neglected, Mr. Zelaya told Ms. Frisone that asset preservation
issues no longer mattered.
55.
In October 2012, Ms. Frisone suspected (but had no proof) that certain Fannie
Mae employees were soliciting and receiving kickbacks from brokers and vendors. For
example, Ms. Tompkins had directed brokers to use a particular general contractor,
Clearwater Contracting, to prepare repairs on properties even though the MLA makes
the broker responsible for the supervision of maintenance and repairs on REO assets.
Brokers generally selected their own contractors from a list of approved vendors.
Clearwater Contracting opened an office in Denver only after the Irvine Fannie Mae
office assumed oversight of Colorado brokers. After Ms. Frisone told Lisa Hay,
Clearwater’s owner, about the decline in her assigned properties, Ms. Hay told Ms.
Frisone to go to California because Ms. Tompkins loved big expensive dinners and that
if Ms. Frisone treated Ms. Tompkins right, Ms. Tompkins would treat Ms. Frisone right.
56.
On March 1, 2013, Ms. Frisone traveled to Santa Ana, California to attend a Five
Star FORCE meeting. While she was in town, she asked to meet with all of the sales
representatives, but Ms. Tompkins was the only one who agreed to meet her. Ms.
Tompkins met Ms. Frisone for lunch. During this lunch, Ms. Frisone also mentioned the
fake office situation and how two brokers in the same office had fraudulently obtained a
second vendor number, which allowed them both to receive property assignments and
thus submit claims for payment to Fannie Mae in contravention of Fannie Mae’s policies
and regulations. Echoing Mr. Cordina’s threat, Ms. Tompkins urgently told Ms. Frisone
to never bring this up again or she would be fired. Ms. Tompkins made that statement
several times. When Ms. Frisone asked why Fannie Mae would fire her for something
like that and why Fannie Mae would not want to know about it, Ms. Tompkins firmly
stated Ms. Frisone should never bring it up again if Ms. Frisone wanted to keep her job.
When Ms. Tompkins made this threat, Ms. Frisone notified several of her office staff and
other friends of this threat, including Tiffany Baublitz, Nicolette Neuman, Diane
Wermager, Kristin Hayes, Don Delisa, and other Brokers and GCs still employed by
Fannie Mae.
57.
Despite Fannie Mae’s clear guidelines that required Ms. Frisone and Ms.
Tompkins to each pay for their portion of the meal, Ms. Tompkins asked Ms. Frisone to
pay for the entire lunch and additionally suggested that Ms. Frisone give her $100 in
cash. Ms. Frisone was shocked because she thought that Ms. Tompkins was seeking a
bribe. Ms. Frisone did not give Ms. Tompkins the additional $100.
58.
On March 15, 2013, Ms. Frisone reported the fraudulent conduct she had
observed to the Sales Manager, Eileen Conrad, via telephone. During the
approximately one hour long telephone call, Ms. Frisone told Ms. Conrad about how
Kelvin Zelaya often tried to get additional cash funds from buyers, outside of the HUD
documents. Ms. Frisone also mentioned the fraudulent inducement of vendor numbers
through the fake offices she discovered, the resulting steering of work to The Powers
Team, including Mr. Sheahan, the fraudulent circumvention of Fannie Mae’s policies
that allowed two brokers from the same firm to fraudulently get two vendor numbers and
to fraudulently submit claims to Fannie Mae, the steering of contract work to Clearwater
and Ms. Tompkins’ actions that appeared to be a request for a bribe or kickback.
59.
The call started with Ms. Frisone complaining about how Mr. Zelaya refused to
sign an amendment while the buyer sat at the closing table for over three hours
because Mr. Zelaya wanted to collect an additional $500. The closing documents were
already locked in at the title company so the price and terms could not be changed.
However, Mr. Zelaya kept telling Ms. Frisone to “be creative, think outside of the box”
When Mr. Zelaya had Ms. Frisone on the phone, he told her that “These are investors,
surely they can figure out a way to give me the extra $500.” Ms. Frisone immediately
documented this extortionary request in an email. Mr. Zelaya then quickly tried to deny
making such a request.
60.
Because this had been escalated to Ms. Conrad via email, Ms. Conrad requested
that Ms. Frisone call her. When Ms. Frisone reached Ms. Conrad, Ms. Frisone told her
everything. Referring to the fake office issue and how that resulted in two brokers from
the same office each getting a vendor number, Ms. Conrad dismissed it by saying, “I’ll
look into it.” When Ms. Frisone told her of the Candy Tompkins incident and request for
$100, Ms. Conrad stated, “Perhaps you misunderstood.” Ms. Frisone though this
reaction was odd, especially since Ms. Conrad made no further inquiries about Ms.
Frisone’s allegations, and was quick to change the subject. Ms. Frisone noted she had
received proportionally far fewer property assignments since she reported the fraudulent
inducement of vendor numbers through the use of fake offices to Mr. Cordina in Dallas
in September 2012. Ms. Frisone also told Ms. Conrad that the properties assigned to
the vendor with the fake office were not being properly maintained and that Fannie
Mae’s assets were being harmed, resulting in longer holding costs and lost equity to the
federally chartered GSE.
61.
Ms. Conrad said she would look into the matter. Later that same day, Mr. Zelaya
and Ms. Tompkins each gave K.O. two property assignments, which would be the last
properties ever assigned to K.O. by Fannie Mae. K.O. completely serviced and
rehabilitated those four properties, but was never paid for that work as all four were
assigned to different brokers when they were ready for sale.
62.
As it became clear through the lack of property assignments that K.O. continued
to be retaliated against for the complaints of fraud, Ms. Frisone became more vocal in
her protests. On April 20, 2013, Ms. Frisone emailed to Ms. Conrad and the Irvine
Sales Representatives pointing out there was no shortage of REO assets in her area,
as shown by the County records and MLS statistics, and the number of assets assigned
to The Powers Team. She asked for an explanation of Fannie Mae’s refusal to assign
any properties to K.O. This enraged Ms. Conrad, who quickly scheduled a conference
call with Ms. Frisone and the Irvine sales representatives for April 23rd. In that call, Ms.
Conrad berated Ms. Frisone for being unprofessional and then hung up on her.
63.
After the April 23, 2013 conference call, Ms. Frisone called Fannie Mae’s
Compliance and Ethics Hotline. Ms. Frisone reported the abusive and disrespectful
behavior of Ms. Conrad and Mr. Zelaya, the fake offices which resulted in two brokers
from the same office each receiving a vendor number (the effect of which is that they
can fraudulently submit false claims to Fannie Mae for payment), the decline in the
maintenance and preservation of Fannie Mae properties, and the apparent complicity of
Fannie Mae employees in a scheme to circumvent Fannie Mae rules and to defraud
Fannie Mae. Ms. Frisone also reported that Fannie Mae’s management had stopped
caring about asset preservation and was now assigning properties to brokers who did
not conform to Fannie Mae standards and who did not fulfill their contractual obligations.
Each month, in the broker conference calls, Ms. Conrad and her sales team scolded
brokers for failing to follow Fannie Mae guidelines and making mistakes. Although K.O.
and its team did not make mistakes and consistently followed the Fannie Mae
guidelines to the letter, K.O. still received no new assignments. Ms. Frisone reported
that Ms. Conrad, Mr. Zelaya, Mr. Chow, and Ms. Tompkins constantly reassured her
there was nothing wrong with K.O.’s performance, and that the asset distribution was
done by zip code and there were simply no properties in K.O.’s zip code. Ms. Frisone
explained that the statistical data did not support that excuse and even sent in a
spreadsheet to support her argument. Ms. Frisone explained she believed K.O. was
being retaliated against because of Ms. Frisone’s meeting in Dallas with Mr. Cordina in
September 2012 in which she first reported the fraudulent inducement of vendor
relationships.
64.
Fearing she had permanently damaged K.O.’s standing with Fannie Mae, Ms.
Frisone emailed to Ms. Conrad on April 28, 2013 sincerely apologizing for her earlier
comments and indicating additional research now indicated to Ms. Frisone there were
fewer assets to be assigned by Fannie Mae to brokers. However, when Ms. Frisone
sent that email, she did so in a desperate attempt to repair her relationship with the
Irvine sales team as they were responsible for her livelihood and the livelihood of the
thirteen employees in K.O.’s office. Ms. Frisone’s research had not actually convinced
her that fraud was not occurring at Fannie Mae. Ms. Frisone was not convinced that
Fannie Mae did not have inventory in her zip code as the statistics supported her. Ms.
Frisone was not convinced Fannie Mae was not utilizing or favoring brokers with fake
offices in circumvention of Fannie Mae’s policies and procedures. However, Ms.
Frisone was afraid that K.O. would be formally terminated as Fannie Mae employees
had previously threatened.
65.
Ms. Frisone’s apology was apparently not accepted as the Irvine office continued
to refuse to assign new properties to K.O. In fact, K.O. never received another Vendor
Newsletter after April 22, 2013.
Fannie Mae gave K.O. false and pretextual reasons for Fannie Mae’s continued
refusal to give K.O. new property assignments, but allowed her to service
properties that would soon be reassigned.
66.
During the times she had asked for explanations for the lack of assignments, Ms.
Frisone was given a variety of shifting explanations for the reason that K.O.’s inventory
was down, including that inventory was down across the board or that Fannie Mae was
downsizing vendors and giving preference to HERA certified vendors. These
explanations were false and a pretext for the retaliation. Shortly after Ms. Frisone was
given the explanation that inventory was down and there was nothing new to be
assigned, the Irvine sales team announced in a conference call they were “flooded” with
new inventory. None of it was assigned to K.O.
67.
Ms. Conrad also told Robbie McClure that only the HERA certified Brokers would
be retained when he inquired about inventory. To the extent that Ms. Conrad noted
preference was given to HERA certified vendors, K.O. was one of the very few Fannie
Mae vendors with the HERA certification. Yet K.O. received no new property
assignments.
Ms. Frisone escalated her complaints of fraudulent activity to Brandon Lawler,
the Sales Director of Fannie Mae’s Irvine office in May 2013.
68.
On May 22, 2013, Ms. Frisone participated in a mandatory conference call for
brokers. During that call, Brandon Lawler, the Sales Director of Fannie Mae’s Irvine,
California office, stated Fannie Mae was an ethical company that followed the letter of
the law and he assured the call participants his door was always open to anyone who
suspected misconduct. The following week, on May 27th, 2013, an article about
kickbacks at Fannie Mae was published in the Los Angeles Times.
69.
Shortly after this mandatory broker call, Ms. Frisone called Mr. Lawler and
reported all of her grievances, including the unfair asset distribution, the neglect of the
assets, the fraudulent inducement of vendor numbers through the use of fake offices
and other false statements which resulted in payments to vendors who had obtained
their vendor numbers through fraud, the failure to preserve assets, and the apparent
complicity of Fannie Mae employees in a scheme to circumvent Fannie Mae rules and
to defraud the company. Before Ms. Frisone could advise Mr. Lawler of the attempts to
solicit a bribe, Mr. Lawler cut her off. Mr. Lawler quickly dismissed Ms. Frisone stating
he was headed out of town for the Memorial Day weekend, and that he would look into
her complaints when he returned.
70.
Completely unknown to Ms. Frisone at this time, the Irvine office was in the midst
of an investigation regarding sales representatives’ solicitations of bribes and kickbacks
from brokers. Given the Irvine office was in the midst of a corruption investigation by the
FBI and the FHFA OIG, it seems like the natural result of Ms. Frisone’s complaints is
that Fannie Mae would take her reports of fraud seriously and investigate her claims.
Sadly, this did not occur. Instead, Fannie Mae tried to eliminate Ms. Frisone as a
possible witness to the federal investigation.
71.
When Mr. Lawler had not responded to her questions by June 3, 2013, Ms.
Frisone sent Mr. Lawler an email following up on the conversation and asking again if
her dismissal from the Fannie Mae network was in retaliation for her speaking up about
some issues. Mr. Lawler did not respond to Ms. Frisone’s email.
Fannie Mae finally attempted to fire K.O. in retaliation for its complaints of fraud.
Fannie Mae’s termination is not legally effective because Fannie Mae’s notice of
termination terminates a non-existent agreement. Fannie Mae actually renewed
its MLA with K.O.
72.
Instead, Fannie Mae sent the letter attached as Exhibit 9 to Ms. Frisone on June
5, 2013. Ms. Frisone received this letter on June 6, 2013.
73.
This letter is undated and does not identify the drafter of the letter. Although the
letter is signed, the signature is not legible. The letter refers to the “Fannie Mae Listing
Agreement between Karen Frisone and Fannie Mae dated May 1, 2011.” The letter
then states that “pursuant to Section 7 of the above referenced Fannie Mae Master
Listing Agreement, Fannie Mae is terminating” the MLA. The effective date of
termination was June 6, 2013. However, no such MLA exists.
74.
This undated letter did not terminate the MLA between K.O. and Fannie Mae.
75.
Not only did Fannie Mae not properly terminate K.O.’s MLA, Fannie Mae entered
into a new MLA with K.O. On January 22, 2013 and February 5, 2013, Fannie Mae
communicated to its brokers a new MLA was required. A copy of the February 5, 2013
email is attached as Exhibit 10. Fannie Mae asked each Broker to execute the new
MLA using HomePath.com, which K.O. did on February 6, 2013. Fannie Mae executed
the new MLA with K.O. on July 11, 2013.
76.
On July 16, 2013, Fannie Mae notified K.O. that the fully executed agreement
was posted online. A copy of the July 16, 2013 email is attached as Exhibit 11. The
new MLA was signed by John Liszka, Vice President of REO Sales and was posted to
Fannie Mae’s HomePath website, where it is still accessible to this day. When Fannie
Mae uploaded this file, it contained four pages. The signature box on the third page of
the uploaded file is blank. However, the signature box on the fourth page was fully
completed. A copy of the signature pages of K.O.’s executed current MLA are attached
as Exhibit 12. Presumably, before Mr. Liszka, a Fannie Mae Vice President, signed
this MLA, Mr. Liszka would have reviewed K.O.’s vendor file to determine if K.O. was a
vendor in good standing. If K.O.’s vendor file reflected that K.O. was not in good
standing or that K.O. had been terminated as a vendor over a month before, it seems
likely that Mr. Liszka would not have signed the new MLA for Fannie Mae on July 11,
2013.
Fannie Mae’s retaliation against K.O. took many forms, which includes filing this
lawsuit the day after K.O. notified Fannie Mae of claims against it. Fannie Mae
damaged K.O. in a variety of ways.
77.
Throughout the spring and summer of 2013, both before and after Fannie Mae’s
ineffective attempt to terminate the MLA with K.O, Ms. Frisone was reporting fraud
through various channels at Fannie Mae. K.O. continued to be subjected to retaliation.
K.O. received no new property assignments. Fannie Mae attempted (ineffectually) to
terminate the MLA with K.O. Fannie Mae delayed in executing the new MLA with K.O.
Properties previously assigned to K.O. were reassigned to other Denver brokers despite
the Listing Supplement having not expired and Fannie Mae had not effectively
terminated the MLA with K.O.
78.
Frequently , Ms. Frisone was not told by Fannie Mae of the property
reassignment. Instead, Ms. Frisone learned of some reassignments when she was
contacted by the new broker and asked to assist on the listing. This continued through
May 2013.
79.
On the few properties still assigned to K.O., Fannie Mae improperly interfered
with K.O.’s ability to fulfill its contractual duties by getting those properties rehabilitated
and to market quickly.
80.
K.O. has contractual responsibilities to assess the properties and arrange for
necessary repairs so the properties could be listed and sold quickly . The MLA advised
brokers time is of the essence in performing the duties required by the MLA. However,
Fannie Mae thwarted K.O.’s ability to timely and properly perform its contractual duties
by delaying and refusing to respond to K.O.’s repair requests. Frequently , K.O. had to
make four requests for routine repair approvals. K.O. requested approvals for the
repairs on April 1, 2013 and was still waiting on the approvals as of May 15, 2013. This
prevented K.O. from timely listing and selling the properties and impaired K.O.’s ability
to earn the commission that would compensate K.O. for the work it put in assessing the
properties and getting the properties ready to be listed for sale. Meanwhile, K.O.
continued to maintain the properties.
81.
After June 6, 2013, Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. by removing all properties
then assigned to K.O. even though Fannie Mae had not properly terminated K.O.’s MLA
and the Listing Supplements on those properties had not yet expired.
82.
Even though K.O. was not properly terminated, Fannie Mae treated K.O. as
terminated. Ms. Frisone, not a lawyer, also incorrectly believed that K.O. had been
terminated.
83.
K.O., under the terms of the MLA, attempted to recoup the expenses and time
spent preparing the few remaining Fannie Mae properties for market. K.O. timely
submitted a request for repayment of expenses and a management fee for the listings
removed from K.O. K.O. requested management fees for assets D13051M, D130719,
D13074P, D130517, D130502, D130511, D120VBX, and D120C4S. Despite K.O.’s
timely submission of the request for management fees, Fannie Mae denied K.O.’s
request on July 15, 2013.
84.
On June 6, 2013, after Fannie Mae’s ineffective attempt to terminate K.O., Ms.
Frisone’s suspicions about Fannie Mae employees were confirmed.
Ms. Frisone
learned that Armando Granillo, a sales representative in the Irvine office, had been
arrested in March 2013 for demanding kickbacks from a real estate broker for providing
listings to that broker. One week after Fannie Mae attempted to terminate K.O., Fannie
Mae fired James Tiegen, the Vice President who oversaw the Irvine office and other
regional offices. A former Fannie Mae employee, Cecilia Carter, also allegedly fired for
reporting kickbacks and fraud, and who also has similar pending litigation, has
described the practice of soliciting kickbacks at Fannie Mae as widespread. Armando
Granillo, the former Fannie Mae employee arrested for demanding kickbacks, said it
was a natural part of business at Fannie Mae. These matters were reported in
newspaper articles published by the Los Angeles Times.
85.
After Fannie Mae learned of the corruption in its California office, Fannie Mae
modified its procedures for assigning properties to REO brokers. Fannie Mae no longer
allowed sales representatives to assign properties to brokers. Instead, property
assignment was moved back to Fannie Mae’s Dallas office and began to be handled by
the Vendor Operations department on a rotational basis. Even though Fannie Mae had
not tried to terminate K.O. when this change in procedure took place, K.O. never
received a property assignment from the Vendor Operations department . Thus, K.O.
had already been effectively fired. Otherwise, K.O. should have been in the rotation to
receive assignments beginning May 1, 2013.
86.
After Fannie Mae’s attempted termination of K.O., K.O. retained counsel. On
July 16, 2013, K.O.’s counsel notified Fannie Mae that K.O. had potential claims against
Fannie Mae, including claims under the False Claims Act. Fannie Mae sued K.O. the
very next day.
Declaratory Judgment
87.
K.O. incorporates the allegations set forth in the previous paragraphs as if
restated herein.
88.
A dispute exists concerning whether Fannie Mae properly terminated the May 1,
2011 MLA between K.O. and Fannie Mae. The termination letter sent by Fannie Mae
terminated only a MLA agreement between Karen Frisone and Fannie Mae dated May
1, 2011. No such agreement exists.
89.
K.O. requests a declaration from this court that Fannie Mae did not properly
terminate the May 1, 2011 MLA between K.O. and Fannie Mae.
90.
K.O. also requests a declaration from this Court that Fannie Mae has entered
into a new MLA with K.O, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 12, on July 11, 2013
and that the July 11, 2013 MLA is currently in effect.
91.
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 37.007, K.O. seeks a jury trial on this
declaratory judgment claim.
92.
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 37.009, K.O. seeks its costs and
reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees incurred in pursuit of this claim.
False Claims Act Retaliation
93.
restated herein.
94.
Fannie Mae is a government sponsored enterprise chartered by Congress and is
currently under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. (Plaintiff’s
Original Complaint, ¶ 1, Dkt. 1 and Plaintiff’s Certificate of Interested Persons, Dkt. 2).
Fannie Mae is subject to the anti-retaliation provisions in the False Claim Act, 31 U.S.C.
§ 3730(h).
95.
The False Claims Act discourages fraud against the federal government by
imposing liability on any person who knowingly presents or caused to be presented a
false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval or who knowingly makes, uses, or
causes to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent
claim paid or approved by the government. 31 U.S.C. § 2729(a). Claims, for purposes
of the False Claims Act, include any request for money that (i) is presented to an officer,
employee, or agent of the United States; or (ii) is made to a contractor, grantee, or other
recipient, if the money or property is to be spent or used on the Government’s behalf or
to advance a Government program or interest, and if the Unites States Government (I)
provides or has provided any portion of the money or property requested or demanded;
or (II) will reimburse such contractor, grantee, or other recipient for any portion of the
money or property which is requested or demanded. 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(2).
96.
According to a memo quoted by the Los Angeles Times (article attached as
Exhibit 13), Fannie Mae’s Chief Compliance Officer Nancy Jardini advised employees
that Fannie Mae defines “fraud as an intentional act or omission that affects, or could
affect, Fannie Mae, and that is done for the purpose of securing any improper gain or
benefit for Fannie Mae or anyone else.”
97.
The False Claims Act prohibits retaliation against those who report violations of
the False Claims Act. The anti-retaliation portion of the False Claims Act states:
Any employee, contractor, or agent shall be entitled to all relief necessary
to make that employee, contractor, or agent whole, if that employee,
contractor or agent is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened,
harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and
conditions of employment because of lawful acts done by the employee,
contractor, or agent or associated others in furtherance of an action under
this section or other efforts to stop 1 or more violations of this subchapter.
31 U.S.C. § 3730(h).
98.
K.O. engaged in activity protected under the False Claims Act. Fannie Mae
knew that K.O. had engaged in activity protected under the False Claims Act and
retaliated against K.O. because of lawful acts done by K.O. for K.O. and others in
furtherance of a False Claims action
99.
There is no requirement that K.O. actually file a False Claims Act lawsuit to
pursue a retaliation claim as the 2009 amendments to 31 U.S.C. §3730(h) made it clear
that protected activity includes efforts to stop False Claims Act violations, besides acts
in furtherance of a qui tam lawsuit. Investigating or complaining about fraud, including
through internal reporting, is a step in furtherance of uncovering fraud and is protected
by the False Claims Act.
Internal complaints, investigations, or inquiries that concern
false or fraudulent claims submitted to the government are protected activity under the
False Claims Act.
100.
K.O.’s activity is protected activity for purposes of the False Claims Act anti-
retaliation provision when K.O., acting through Ms. Frisone, notified Fannie Mae she
was concerned about possible fraud and false claims against the government. K.O.,
acting through Ms. Frisone, was not required to use any magic language or words such
as “illegal” or “unlawful” to place Fannie Mae on notice of the protected activity.
101.
K.O. is a contractor of Fannie Mae. Ms. Frisone, the owner of K.O. and an
employee of K.O., served as the managing broker of all Listing Supplements assigned
by Fannie Mae to K.O. As such, Ms. Frisone is also an agent of Fannie Mae under §
3730(h). The provisions of 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h) specifically provide coverage for
contractors or agents.
102.
As previously set forth in detail, K.O., acting through Ms. Frisone, reported to
numerous Fannie Mae employees that brokers were fraudulently obtaining vendor
identification numbers by using false records and false statements. In particular, Ms.
Frisone reported that at least one broker obtained a vendor identification number in
contravention of Fannie Mae polices through the use of a fake office address and
fraudulent business name. This is a report of fraudulent inducement of a contract which
led to false claims being paid. Ms. Frisone also engaged in protected activity by
reporting the fraudulent circumvention of Fannie Mae policies, the attempt to solicit
bribes, the attempts to steer contractual repair work to favored contractors, and the
apparent complicity of Fannie Mae employees in these schemes to circumvent Fannie
Mae rules and to defraud the company.
103.
When Ms. Frisone reported the fake office scheme, she reported this scheme
fraudulently allowed two brokers from the same office to obtain vendor identification
numbers and falsely and fraudulently submit claims for payment as if they operated two
different businesses. Because Fannie Mae is in conservatorship and funded by the
Treasury, the claims for payment resulting from this fraudulently induced vendor
relationship are false claims within the scope of the broad definition of “claims” in the
False Claims Act. Courts have repeatedly held False Claims Act liability attaches to all
payments made under a contract procured by fraud. See United States ex rel. Longhi v.
Lithium Power Tech., Inc., 575 F.3d 458, 467-68 (5th Cir. 2009). FCA liability can attach
even when the defendant does not submit a technically false claim for payment, but
when the claim for payment results from a contract procured on the basis of false
statements or fraud. Id. See also United States ex rel. Porter v. HCA Health Services
of Oklahoma, Inc., 2011 WL 4590791, *5 (N.D. Tex. 2011); United States ex rel. Long v.
GSD&M Idea City, LLC, 2013 WL 214590, *6 (N.D. Tex. 2013).
104.
When Ms. Frisone reported the request for a bribe made to her by Ms. Tompkins,
she was reporting activity that would have resulted in additional assignments to K.O. (or
another broker) because of fraud and that would have led to payments to K.O. (or
another broker) because of fraud if the demand for a bribe was accepted. This too
would be a false claim and is fraudulent activity, as Fannie Mae’s own Chief
Compliance Officer defines fraud.
105.
K.O, through Ms. Frisone, made these False Claims Act protected reports to
numerous Fannie Mae employees including Chris Cordina, Kelvin Zelaya, Linda
Tompkins, Eileen Conrad, Brandon Lawler and the Fannie Mae Compliance and Ethics
Hotline. Ms. Frisone’s reports began in September 2012 and continued through 2013.
All of these employees had the authority and ability to affect property assignments to
K.O. K.O. believes these employees caused the reduction and ultimate cessation of
property assignments to K.O. because of her reports of this fraudulent inducement of
vendor relationships and other fraudulent activity.
106.
After the ineffective attempt to terminate K.O., Ms. Frisone also reported to the
Fannie Mae Board of Directors that Fannie Mae had terminated K.O. 1 in retaliation for
her reports of fraudulent activity that included the fraudulent inducement of vendor
numbers through false statements and fake broker offices (which led to the false claims
submitted under that fraudulent scheme), Fannie Mae employee complicity in violating
1
As noted, because Ms. Frisone is not a lawyer, Ms. Frisone did not understand that Fannie Mae’s effort
to terminate her was not effective. Thus, Ms. Frisone operated under the mistaken belief that the MLA
with K.O. had been terminated for a period of time.
Fannie Mae rules and regulations, solicitation of bribes, and efforts to steer contract
repair work to favored contractors in violation of Fannie Mae rules and regulations.
107.
After K.O. and Ms. Frisone engaged in this protected activity and after numerous
Fannie Mae employees knew of the protected activity, Fannie Mae retaliated against
K.O. in a variety of ways. The retaliation began in September 2012 and continues to this
day.
108.
This retaliation began immediately after Ms. Frisone met with Mr. Cordina in
September 2012 and reported the fraudulent activity and fake offices that allowed a
broker to falsely submit claims to the government. The retaliation took the form of the
Dallas office’s refusal to give K.O. additional property assignments although K.O. was a
top performing broker in good standing. As Sales Manager, Mr. Cordina had the
authority to influence and impact the REO assignments to K.O.
109.
The retaliation included disparaging K.O. to the Irvine office when the Colorado
brokers were ostensibly transferred to the Irvine sales representatives.
110.
The retaliation continued as the Irvine office continued to phase K.O. out from
new property assignments. This resulted, in whole or in part, from the disparaging
comments made to the Irvine office by the Dallas office.
111.
The retaliation continued as Fannie Mae’s Vendor Operations department
refused to assign files to K.O. after property assignments were transferred to that
department because of the corruption in Fannie Mae’s California office. Once the
property assignments were to be made on a rotation schedule, K.O. should have been
placed in rotation to receive assignments. It was not.
112.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. before June 6, 2013 by reassigning K.O.’s
property listings to other brokers despite the Listing Supplement having not expired and
the MLA between Fannie Mae and K.O. had not been terminated.
113.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. by failing to timely approve property repair
requests for properties then assigned to K.O. This prevented K.O. from timely bringing
the properties to market and selling the properties. This prevented K.O. from receiving
the commissions that would compensate K.O. for the work it performed in assessing the
properties and rehabilitating the properties to get them ready to be listed and sold.
114.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. with its ineffectual attempt to terminate the
MLA between K.O. and Fannie Mae.
115.
While Fannie Mae’s attempt was not effective (because the termination letter
terminated a non-existent MLA between Karen Frisone and Fannie Mae) and while
Fannie Mae eventually executed a new MLA with K.O., Fannie Mae continues to refuse
to give K.O. any property assignments to this day. Fannie Mae continues to retaliate
against K.O. on an ongoing basis each day it refuses to assign any properties to K.O.
116.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. after June 6, 2013 by improperly reassigning
all Listing Supplements K.O. had in effect as of June 6, 2013 to other brokers despite
the Listing Supplements having not expired and the MLA had not properly been
terminated.
117.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. by failing and refusing to pay K.O. a
management fee for the property listings it improperly removed from K.O.
118.
Fannie Mae retaliated against K.O. by suing K.O. the day after Fannie Mae
received a letter from K.O.’s counsel advising Fannie Mae that K.O. had legal claims
against it under the False Claims Act and requesting Fannie Mae preserve all evidence
relating to those claims.
119.
If Fannie Mae attempts to terminate the MLA currently in effect between K.O. and
Fannie Mae, that termination will be an additional act of retaliation.
120.
K.O. has been damaged by Fannie Mae’s retaliation. K.O. seeks to recover all
relief available to her under 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h), including reinstatement, monetary
damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable and necessary
attorney’s fees, expenses and costs.
Breach of Contract
121.
restated herein.
122.
A valid contract exists between K.O. and Fannie Mae. The current valid contract
is the July 11, 2013 MLA. However, prior to the July 11, 2013 MLA, the relationship
between K.O. and Fannie Mae was governed by the May 1, 2011 MLA. The MLA
incorporated Fannie Mae’s REO Sales Guide into the MLA. (MLA, ¶ 4(A)). K.O.’s
breach of contract claim relates to the May 1, 2011 MLA (Exhibit 3).
123.
K.O. is a proper party to sue for breach of the May 1, 2011 MLA.
124.
K.O., as a Fannie Mae broker, had contractual duties to perform each time K.O.
received a Listing Supplement from Fannie Mae. Those duties including completing
property occupancy checks, issuing brokerage price opinions, and certain property
management and various repair and maintenance services, all as set forth in the REO
Sales Guide. (Ex. 3, MLA ¶ 4(A)). Per the MLA, time is of the essence and the broker
must perform all services promptly. (Ex. 3, MLA ¶ 4(G)(2)). Per Fannie Mae’s REO
Sales Guide, which is incorporated into and part of the MLA, Fannie Mae endeavors to
review and approve repairs within one to five days of receiving a broker’s repair bid
package submission.
125.
As a party to this contract, Fannie Mae had a duty to comply with the terms of the
contract.
126.
In the Spring of 2013, Fannie Mae assigned several properties to K.O. K.O.
performed its contractual duties by inspecting the properties for occupancy and
determining the reasonable repairs that would be required to bring the properties to a
satisfactory condition for listing.
127.
K.O. performed these inspections, prepared repair scopes, and supervised the
contractors’ repairs. K.O. regularly visited and inspected the properties assigned to it as
required. These actions required significant investments of time by K.O.’s employees.
Under the MLA, K.O. gets paid for this type of time investment once the property is sold
and K.O. receives its sales commission.
128.
In March and April 2013, K.O. submitted numerous repair approval requests to
Fannie Mae for the properties still assigned to K.O. Fannie Mae unreasonably refused
to respond to the repair requests. K.O. submitted additional requests to have the
repairs approved. For many properties, K.O. had to submit as many as four requests
over a six week period of time to approve the property repairs. Fannie Mae refused to
respond to these requests despite its contractual commitment to approve repair
requests within one to five days of receipt from the broker.
129.
Because Fannie Mae would not approve the repair requests, K.O. could not
finalize the property repairs and then list and sell the properties. This prevented K.O.
from earning the sales commission on the property listing that would compensate K.O.
for the work K.O. put into rehabilitating the properties.
130.
Fannie Mae materially breached its duties and obligations under the MLA to
timely respond to and approve K.O.’s properly submitted request for repairs.
131.
When this was occurring, , Fannie Mae had effectively terminated K.O. in
retaliation for K.O.’s protected activity.
Fannie Mae knew it would soon formally
terminate K.O. (as evidenced by its failure to send K.O. any vendor newsletters after
April 22, 2013) and wanted to prevent K.O from receiving a sales commission on these
properties. Because Fannie Mae had not yet formally terminated K.O. and because the
Listing Supplements had not expired, Fannie Mae could not lawfully avoid paying K.O. a
sales commission if the properties were sold. So, Fannie Mae did the only thing it could
to prevent K.O. from earning a commission, which was to refuse to approve the properly
submitted repair requests and to prevent the properties from being able to go to market.
132.
Fannie Mae’s material breach of its obligations under the MLA and incorporated
REO Sales Guide caused K.O. damage. This material breach prevented K.O. from
earning a sales commission because it prevented K.O. from listing and selling the
properties before Fannie Mae wrongfully removed the properties from K.O. K.O. was
damaged by this material breach. K.O. employees expended significant amounts of
time in evaluating and rehabilitating the properties without the opportunity to be
compensated for this work.
133.
K.O. seeks to recover the damages it has suffered because of Fannie Mae’s
material breach of contract, including its reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees
under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 38.001 et. seq.
Quantum Meriut
134.
restated herein.
135.
K.O. asserts a claim for quantum meriut. Recovery under quantum meriut is
permitted despite the existence of an express contract that covers the subject matter of
the claim when a plaintiff has partially performed an express contract, but because of
the defendant’s breach, the plaintiff is prevented from completing the contract. Truly v.
Austin, 744 S.W.2d 934, 936 (Tex. 1988). See also Balfour Beatty Rail, Inc. v. Kansas
City Southern Railway Co., 2012 WL 3100833, *9 (N.D. Tex. 2012). This scenario
applies here.
136.
K.O. provided valuable services to Fannie Mae regarding the properties assigned
to K.O. during the spring of 2013. K.O. regularly inspected the properties assigned to it,
determined the repairs that were necessary to bring the properties to an appropriate
listing condition, and got the repairs completed so that K.O. could list the properties for
sale. However, Fannie Mae breached the contract by refusing to timely approve repair
requests and to allow K.O. to finalize these properties for listing and ultimate sale. This
breach prohibited K.O. from earning a sales commission by listing and selling the
properties.
137.
Fannie Mae accepted these services from K.O. Fannie Mae had reasonable
notice that K.O. expected to be compensated for the services provided to Fannie Mae
by K.O.
138.
Fannie Mae failed and refused to compensate K.O. for the services K.O.
provided to Fannie Mae.
139.
K.O. seeks to recover the damages suffered because of Fannie Mae’s refusal to
compensate K.O. for the services provided to it.
Jury Requested
140.
K.O. seeks a jury trial on the claims asserted in this lawsuit.
Prayer
141.
Wherefore, Defendant K.O. Realty, Inc. requests this Court deny Fannie Mae’s
request for declaratory judgment, award K.O. the declaratory judgment sought in the
counterclaim, find for K.O. on the additional claims asserted, award K.O. damages as
requested and award such other and further relief to which K.O. is justly entitled.

Fannie Mae exec fired amid kickback scandal
James Tiegen, who oversaw Irvine and other regional offices, was not suspected of
criminal behavior, according to two people familiar with his departure.
By E. Scott Reckard, Los Angeles Times
6:18 PM PDT, June 13, 2013
Fannie Mae has fired the executive who headed its Irvine office amid a federal investigation
into alleged kickbacks from real estate brokers.
advertisement
One former employee of the home-finance giant has been indicted on charges of soliciting illegal
payments from a broker, and another former worker has alleged that such conduct was common at the
office. Federal investigators are trying to determine whether the alleged corruption extended to other
employees, according to two people with knowledge of the probe.
James Tiegen, a vice president who oversaw Irvine and other regional offices where foreclosed
properties are sold, was not suspected of criminal behavior, according to two people familiar with his
departure. The people were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity;
one said Tiegen was fired for "performance issues."
The Times attempted to contact Tiegen, who lives in Coto de Caza, by phone and electronic messages
starting last week but could not reach him. His phone line at the Irvine office was disconnected, and
employees there said they had no forwarding address for him.
Fannie Mae officials said they aren't allowed to comment on personnel and legal matters. But the
taxpayer-owned company, which was bailed out during the financial crisis, said in a statement that it
does not tolerate wrongdoing, and has "controls and procedures in place in order to combat fraud."
"When we determine that our controls can be strengthened further, we implement changes," the
statement said. "For example, we have changed our property assignment process so that our sales
associates will not make assignments to brokers, reducing the potential for conflicts of interest."
The procedural overhaul is intended to curtail the likelihood of kickback demands by having a Fannie
Mae squad in Dallas assign listings of foreclosed properties to the brokers, who earn commissions by
selling them.
The assignments previously had been handled by foreclosure specialists in the regional offices,
including more than 50 who worked in the high-rise near John Wayne Airport where Tiegen had
overseen operations. The specialists will continue managing foreclosed properties and approving sales
but will no longer assign listings.
One former specialist, Armando Granillo of Huntington Beach, was arrested March 5 in an early-

morning sting near MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.
Court documents said he was clutching $11,200 in cash as he stood in a Starbucks parking lot - money
he allegedly had demanded in return for providing foreclosure listings to a broker, who alerted federal
authorities. Granillo has pleaded not guilty and is free on bail pending trial, scheduled for August.
An affidavit filed in federal court said Granillo had told the broker that kicking back a slice of
commissions on foreclosed properties was "a natural part of business" at Fannie Mae.
Another former foreclosure specialist in Irvine, Cecelia Carter, also described the kickbacks as
widespread.
Carter alleged in a lawsuit last month that she was fired for trying to expose the involvement of several
employees, including Granillo, in such schemes. One of her attorneys, Peter Whelan of Washington,
said Fannie Mae had not yet replied to the suit.
The investigation continues, headed by the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, working with agents from the
inspector general of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, according to two sources who requested
anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.
The accusations, reported two weeks ago by The Times, touched off a flurry of concerned memos to the
staff from Fannie Mae officials, including Chief Executive Timothy J. Mayopoulos and Brandon
Lawler, director of foreclosure sales in Dallas, according to Fannie Mae employees and lawyers familiar
with the case.
One memo obtained by The Times, from Fannie Mae Chief Compliance Officer Nancy Jardini, warned
employees that the company "defines fraud as an intentional act or omission that affects, or could affect,
Fannie Mae, and that is done for the purpose of securing any improper gain or benefit for Fannie Mae or
anyone else."
Carter said Fannie Mae officials altered findings to make themselves look better in reports that
ultimately were passed up to Congress. She said she began alerting Tiegen to kickbacks as far back as
2009, and that she identified Granillo as involved in 2011.
An internal Fannie Mae investigation said it could find no evidence to support her allegations.
