Mozilo hauled down $97 million over the five years 2001-2005, according to Forbes, and sold off $129 million in Countrywide options in just the 12 months ending in August 2007 (when NOBODY could have foreseen Countrywide's "issues"), according to the NYT (obligatory grain of salt warning, they may have added or dropped a decimal; who knows?). August 2007, of course, is when the newsies woke up and smelled the stink. Big Shitpile was international news by the middle of the month. That’s not shame … that’s buying press.
