Mortgage Rate Freeze: A Flim-Flam Scheme to Recharacterize Billions of Fraudulent Mortgages and Trick Investors

ADVERTISEMENTS

Imagine a loan of $100,000 based upon (1) a borrower's true income / ability to repay and (2) the true value of the real estate collateral.

Which type of loan do you think predominated in the United States for the last five to ten years?

Now imagine these "liar loans" were bundled into securities with a few good loans thrown on top to make them smell nice. A little like giving someone a stack of bills with $100 bills at the top and monopoly money underneath. Then imagine those bundled securities are sold to various pension funds and foreign investors. Sound familiar?
