She probably did the roudnabout test, like this:
Ruth: Mark, do you know anyone running a Ponzi scheme?
Mark: ...No.
Ruth: Good, because you know Bernie.
RIP MH.

So they're OK with the origination of high risk mortgages, it's just the securitization of them that got us into trouble? Because they never would have gone bad if they hadn't be securitized...

I knew one of the investors and he was f'n smug about it. We managed some of this money and everytime something didn't go as planned (ie, down month) he'd said "I got this guy in NY, just churns it out no problem. Why can't you do that?" Gave us a ton of shit for it. I'm not happy he lost his money, but perhaps the entire industry needs to do a better job managing client expectations, so people know what's legit and what's not.

They pay him actual money to write that? Like actual, real US Dollars? Dollars which could have been put to a move productive use, say, lining a bird cage? What a country.

One you write "5'3'' Asian", the "with Spiky Hair" is pretty superfluous, no?
