Mortgage Fraud Task Force Opens Command Center. According to the Plain Dealer, "The office, opened within the last two weeks, is the only one of its kind in Ohio. It is in downtown Cleveland, but officials asked that the location be kept secret." Is mortgage fraud in the Cleveland area so rampant they have to form a special Mortgage Fraud Task Force to conduct tactical counter-mortgage-fraud operations out of a command center in a top secret location? What are they using, smoke bombs and tear gas to fight off mortgage fraud? Do the accountants really wear gas masks and carry automatic weapons when they rappel down the sides of the buildings they raid, or do they just hang out and analyze the mortgage documents in the secret command center? On the one hand, characterizing mortgage fraud investigators as a task force operating from a secret command center probably goes a long way toward assuaging public outrage over the problem.
