Atlanta Home Loan
Atlanta Home Loan
Al Fiorini had a company called Atlanta Home Loan which offered loans in the Atlanta area. Al decided to return to school and was difficulty with people he hired to replace him in his absence.
His first choice for replacement was a loan officer named Joe with 20 years of experience in the field. After he promoted Joe he was absent several days and missed important meetings with Al. After this Joe convinced Al to give him a second chance and this was met with absenteeism as well as Joe took many of the company’s loan files home and never returned them.
Al’s second choice was Wilbur Washington who had been introduced to him by Joe earlier in the year. Joe was not informed of this decision and demanded his 8400 back which was invested earlier – Al refused until he was returned the loan files. Wilbur also hired more processing staff which upset the ratio that Al had left which was working well, as well as they could not properly pay them. When confronted about this Wilbur told Al he would do as he saw fit. Al had also left 4 blank checks for them to use with his office manager, these were used to take profits made out of the bank which Wilbur claimed to be for paying employees, since they have a payroll system this was most likely false. Al then ordered stop payments on the checks which Wilbur was able to overturn. Al then hired someone to go in and fire everyone but this was unsuccessful. Wilbur then opened another account with another bank and tried to have it frozen which was also unsuccessful. He then informed the FBI and Atlanta Police who did nothing, and Wilbur had warrants put out for his arrest claiming Al was the one taking out the proceeds from the closing attorneys, Al had to go to court to defend himself and it cost him 7500 in legal fees and travel. Al withdrew AHL’s mortgage and banking licence and was later forced to sell his home to pay back creditors.
These problems that occurred could have been avoided in

    Countrywide Financial was a mortgage-banking firm. They had one of the largest market shares in the early 2000s, when the mortgage market was booming. “No company pursued growth in home loans more aggressively than Countrywide” (NY Times 12/10). They were the leader of their industry, with 500 billion in home loans, 62,000 employees, 900 offices, and $200 billion in assets. Everything had been going well for the company and its employees, until the mortgage crisis began to unfold at the end of 2006. In June 2009, the SEC filed a civil suit against the founder of the business and some of his top management for fraud and insider trading. This came at the height of the mortgage crisis in the US. The founder of Countrywide, Angelo Mozilo, finally agreed to pay $45million in profits and $22.5 million in civil penalties, in which he still admits no wrongdoing.…

    I believe Joe took a rout that was in his mind the best way to go, even though he most certainly felt remorse when it came to letting go of workers who needed the job. He may not have been as advanced as to knowing he could have kept the employees he had and hire turnaround workers instead. I believe that it would have been worth the risk of newly joining employees to seek potential in themselves to face a challenge that occurred when it came to hiring the turnaround.…

    It is easy to look back and say what were these people thinking but when you take a closer look at some of the biases involved involved the borrowers, the lenders and the investors are to blame. The system just seemed to lack the necessary checks and balances and finally spun out of control. In the end the borrowers, the highly leveraged banks and the investors (Giant Pool of Money) all lost. By failing to recognize and adjust for these biases people continued down a very slippery slope. This story serves as a great example of how biases can have major large scale negative impacts in our…

    My view to the third and last that asks what is your best speculation with respect to what happened to the working connection between Al Zink and Fred Cutler, would remain as an inquiry since I am of the view that amid the way toward investigating and assessing this case, my comprehension is that Al Zink and Fred Cutler gambled times both ways. In addition, Fred Cutler made Al throbbing by taking the circumstance to a more low-level. Be that as it may, Fred had a nearly not a decent information of the outcomes. To Al, he had more to be won or lost circumstance and acted on it with no help. So I opine that their alliance at work would not have been acknowledged in any event for some time after the finish of this project. It would have been accomplished…

    Its my personal belief that by eliminating the executives involved Bank of America was openly admitting guilty for their lack of disclosure to shareholders. Bank of America appears both unwilling and unable to address the causes of its reputational risks through improved practices and serving customers. Without sound practices, multibillion-dollar legal costs are lurking behind every corner. And without customer service, the company is vulnerable to disruption. (Reeves,…
