35 Of 37 Plaintiffs Bail Out Of Pennsylvania Ponzi Scheme Class Action

In eastern Pennsylvania, Lancaster Online reports:
  • Thirty-five homeowners stung in a mortgage scheme operated by bankrupt mortgage broker Wesley A. Snyder have voluntarily withdrawn their claims in a class-action lawsuit filed against a group of banks with which Snyder did business. But attorneys who are seeking to have a federal judge revoke the more than 800 mortgages — which ballooned collectively by about $40 million when Snyder's business collapsed in September — say they are still seeking to establish a class-action suit against the 27 banks that hold the mortgages. [...] A Lancaster attorney said [last week] it's likely Snyder's customers will file hundreds of other lawsuits against the banks.
