I am happy that Quicken decided to make this move. The Wall St. Journal has documented numerous cases where the DoJ has threatened their way to a settlement. Here's an interesting one:

I'm glad someone is finally fighting back. Keep in mind that, if Quicken DID improperly document a loan, and the borrower DID default, then Quicken has to buy the loan back. The investigation is out for more. It follows this inaccurate theme that the fault doesn't lay with the borrower who lied about income, assets and employment, it's the lender who didn't catch the borrower's lies who is at fault. Unfortunately for the DoJ, that's not how the law works.

Good for you, Mr. Gilbert.
