Time magazine, citing Countrywide’s loosened lending standards and exotic mortgages, named him one of the “25 People to Blame” for the housing crisis.

Angelo Mozilo should have died in prison. He made $521.5 million selling mortgages he knew would fail and told shareholders to stick with the company while he was busy selling his shares off. His punishment? Settling lawsuits for $45 million in ill-gotten profits and $22.5 million in civil penalties, all while admitting no wrongdoing. That’s a nice $454 million in returns while taxpayers picked up the bill and people’s lives were ruined.

Rot in Hell asshole.
