Angelo Mozilo was the President of Countrywide Mortgage, which specialized in sub-prime and Alt-A loans. Those loans were sold to Fannie and Freddie, and sometimes re-sold to predators like Bear Stearns, Lehman, Goldman Sachs, (etc.) who re-sold them to ....ah.....rubes.
The U S Taxpayer will pick up the pieces, which will run between $200Bn and $1Trillion.
Angelo Mozilo also arranged for "sweetheart" loans to his Extra-Special-Government Pals.
