Fractals Of Deception

The government tricked its investors, banks tricked the government, brokers tricked banks and borrowers tricked the brokers. Although everyone was willfully complicit in this multifaceted slight-of-hand when it crumbled only a handful of people went to prison for mortgage fraud. I was one of them.

You are about to be thunderstruck and, if not already, overwhelmingly skeptical of your government.
