  • Real Estate Title and Escrow Companies: a BSA Filing Study
    Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Real Estate Title and Escrow Companies: A BSA Filing Study Assessing Suspicious Activity Reports and Suspicious Form 8300 Filings Related to Real Estate Title and Escrow Businesses 2003–2011 July 2012 Real Estate Title and Escrow Companies: A BSA Filing Study i Table of Contents Introduction 1 Executive Summary 4 Methodology 8 Research and Analysis 11 Appendix 47 ii Introduction The mission of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is to enhance the integrity of financial systems by facilitating the deterrence and detection of financial crime. One tool FinCEN uses to accomplish this mission is a series of statutory authorities commonly referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”). Consistent with the BSA, and other authorities, FinCEN’s regulations require financial institutions to submit to FinCEN certain records or reports that may have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory investigations or proceedings, or in the conduct of intelligence or counterintelligence activities, including analysis, to protect against international terrorism. FinCEN oversees the maintenance of a database with approximately 180 million records of financial transactions and other reports filed by institutions subject to the BSA. This data represents the most broadly relied upon and largest source of financial intelligence available to law enforcement and regulatory authorities at the Federal, State, and local levels. FinCEN’s own use of these filings to identify trends and patterns and to provide feedback to the filing public often leads to published reports such as this one dealing with the nature of the filings that pertain to real estate-related title and escrow companies.

  • December 21, 2016 Ambiguity and Ignorance in Mattson Ridge, LLC V
    December 21, 2016 Ambiguity and Ignorance in Mattson Ridge, LLC v. Clear Rock Title and Ticor Insurance Company By RONALD P. MURPHY, LS EMERITUS I have been requested to provide an opinion as to whether the legal description of concern in the Mattson Ridge, LLC v. Clear Rock Title, LLP case was ambiguous or not. My opinion is in four parts. Part one will include extrinsic evidence, the deed of 1891, the incipient deed, and review the instrument from the point of view or the parties at the time it was executed. It will look at the marketable title issue as cited in City of North Mankato v. Carlstrom N.W. 2nd 130, 133 (1942). A marketable title is “one that is free from reasonable doubt; one that a prudent person, with full knowledge of all the facts would be willing to accept.” Mattson Ridge deemed the title unmarketable because the description was ambiguous. Part two is the location of the original trail or township road on the ground. Part three is based on the face of the document, all of the deed of 2005, and not just a part of it. That opinion is limited to the rules of construction in interpreting instruments, the meaning of words and the difference in, and the value to be applied to, directory calls and locative calls, as well as the intent of the instrument, none of which were used by the attorneys or the courts. Any one of these three methods is sufficient to prove the descriptions of record were not ambiguous, and if not ambiguous, then marketable.

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Government Green Procurement Spillovers: * Evidence from Municipal Building Policies in California Timothy Simcoe Michael W. Toffel Boston University School of Management Harvard Business School 595 Commonwealth Ave. Morgan Hall 497 Boston, MA 02215 Boston, MA 02163 (617) 358-5725 (617) 384-8043 [email protected] [email protected] May 14, 2014 ABSTRACT We study how government green procurement policies influence private-sector demand for similar products. Specifically, we measure the impact of municipal policies requiring governments to construct green buildings on private-sector adoption of the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard. Using matching methods, panel data, and instrumental variables, we find that government procurement rules produce spillover effects that stimulate both private-sector adoption of the LEED standard and investments in green building expertise by local suppliers. These findings suggest that government procurement policies can accelerate the diffusion of new environmental standards that require coordinated complementary investments by various types of private adopter. JEL Codes: L15, Q58, Q55, O33. Keywords: Public procurement, green building, quality certification, environmental policy. * We thank Melissa Ouellet and Mark Stout for their outstanding research assistance and Tom Dietsche for providing and interpreting data from the US Green Business Council.
