On the eve of the merger by Bank of America to bail out the shareholders of Countrywide, even more evidence of greed, self-serving, and morally bankrupt behavior from the nation’s largest lender reared its head. In the following NBC video, a Countrywide employee pretty much confirms the worst fears of borrowers across the country; that their mortgage institution could not have cared less about them. Closing deals was the only thing that mattered, regardless of who was placed in financial jeopardy to accomplish this. For the record, Countrywide founder and Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo is being sued from every direction he turns. From borrowers in California and Illinois looking for restitution, to the US Government looking for answers on how he had the “foresight” to sell millions of dollars in shares just before the bottom fell out and their value plummetted.
