A Delaware man has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for his role in a fraud and money laundering scheme involving a bank that was a recipient of funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), according to an announcement by the Special Inspector General for the TARP (SIGTARP) and U.S. Attorney General for Delaware Charles M. Oberly III.

MERSCORP Holdings gained yet another legal victory earlier this week, this time in Delaware. In a suit brought about by a disgruntled mortgagor over whether or not MERS had the authority to assign a mortgage, a Delaware court ruled in MERS' favor.

Peter Hayes, a former lender at TARP recipient Wilmington Trust of Delaware, was charged in a seven count indictment in connection with an alleged bank fraud scheme in which he and others benefited at the expense of the bank.
