Yet another scandal was announced Monday regarding Citigroup (C). Last week, Citi announced it was temporarily suspending its mortgage securitization unit – after management “discovered” that it had never stopped buying and packaging fraudulent mortgages (i.e. mortgages lacking appraisal and/or income documentation). I suppose we should applaud management for its 'vigilance' – after all, it's only been two years since the U.S. mortgage Ponzi-scheme was revealed to the world.

Sooner than later, he wrote optomistically, you will find out that it depends on whether you are a FOO. Freind of the Messiah. Don't worry, the relevant "czar" will tell you who gets fanfare and who gets the piano wire.
Just a question, but given that the GSE's will be trading in 125 percent mortgages, won't all MBS be "fraudulent?"
