Among the Wall Street investment banks, Bear Stearns was the most closely exposed to the mortgage crisis.

I believe these M-F guys invented the concept of giving "stated" (liar) loans, no money down, to grocery store clerks, landscape peons, and people who file bankruptcy every 7 (now 8) years like clockwork.

All the scummiest of the subprime lenders have gone belly up.

I have heard, don't have any idea whether it's true, that the state banks didn't get into this stuff, only the national banks.

I do know that I am not seeing any state bank mortgages in foreclosure yet.
