Papantonio: How Whistleblowers Brought Down Countrywide
While there isn’t one single company responsible for the subprime mortgage meltdown or the cratering of our economy, but if you did have to narrow that list down to just a few names, Countrywide Financial would be as close to the top as possible.

Mike Papantonio talks about the latest blow to Countrywide with attorney James Kauffman.
