We have learned that Amtrust AE's were told in a conference call on Monday, December 22, 2008 that loan locks were being suspended "with new locks to resume after 1/1/2009." Given the bank's year-end deadline to conform to regulatory orders, this could be an ominous development as pertains to Amtrust's wholesale operations.

******AmTrust Update******* AmTrust is alive and doing well!!! I work for the company and the organization has taken a pro-active response to a challenging market and initiated a staff reduction, not unlike many in the financial services industry/sector. Bank of America recently annouced "35,000 will be laid off in upcoming months." The bank eliminated all speculative real estate development and land acquisitions and AmTrust's capitalization is healthy. This does not in any way affect 1-4 residential lending. AmTrust is one of the best places to work as the bank appreciates employees and its wholesale and correspondent customers. Relationships drive the high level of customer service standards and AmTrust is now rated in top 5 wholesalers nationwide. AmTrust will be around for the long run !!!
