    Imagine that…the tan man has no regrets.
    Sorta like BM blaming his investors for the Ponzi scheme, calling them ‘greedy b*stards’. Well, at least BM was waxxing nostalgic from the big house, unlike Angelo.

    You really can’t make this stuff up.

    “It had nothing to do with anything that I did at Countrywide or anything I did in my personal life,” Mozilo said. Relatives “were being harassed in school. My name was in the paper every day nationally and internationally, accusing me of things that were absolutely untrue. I could not have my family go through it anymore, and that’s why I settled.”

    Right.

    RE: wreckingbull @ 3 – That guy got away settling for peanuts, most of the settlement was paid by other parties and now he complains? This is what happens when crooks are not prosecuted and sent to prison. They keep coming back to steal more money.
