On February 7, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster announced that a grand jury had returned a 136-count indictment against DOCX, LLC, and its founder, for alleged “robosigning” by forgery and false declarations with regard to mortgage documents. The indictment alleges that the signatures on 68 notarized deeds of release submitted to one county recorder were forged and constituted false declarations. If convicted, the founder could face up to seven years in prison per count, and the company could be fined up $10,000 for each forgery and $2,000 for each false declaration.
