July 30, 2024

Irvine, CA – July 30, 2024 – OCMBC, Inc. has filed its answer in court to the baseless lawsuit filed by Home Mortgage Alliance Corp (HMAC), which is purportedly run by Alfred Hanna, the company’s alleged founder. OCMBC vehemently denies all claims against it and its stellar reputation. In addition to addressing the initial lawsuit, OCMBC has also filed a countersuit on behalf of employee Michael Turturro and his personal corporation, Jet Alliance.

Alfred Hannah was barred by the FHFA in 2017 based on prior misconduct involving his company, Affiliated Funding Corporation, dba In-House Lender. He had a duty to disclose those prior bad acts to Michael Turturro before recruiting him and his team to join HMAC. The countersuit alleges that regulated entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, VA, and warehouse banks are barred from doing mortgage business with Hanna. Additionally, Hanna’s actions, including denying employees their due pay and refusing vendors their contractual payments, which left Michael Turturro and his team no choice but to seek other employment.  Despite this, Hannah has continued to defame Mr. Turturro throughout the industry, both publicly and privately, including with Turturro’s own vast book of personal, past business relationships. Employees have every right to choose their place of employment, without fear of reprisal or retaliation. Hanna and HMAC are in continuous violation of various laws.

OCMBC remains committed to defending its employees who exercise their rights and are being unjustly persecuted by disreputable entities.
