Entire institutions and people whom worked for them were gone before amc’s ever gained dominance. Stop whining about appraisers whom stand up for their careers, casting a blanket and projecting your own insecurities regarding a valid secondary check and balance system.

But the real architects of the disaster were Wall Streets toxic mortgage-backed securities, regulators napping on the job, and lenders peddling predatory loans. Appraisers didnt dream up subprime mortgages or package them into trillion-dollar catastropheswe were just trying to navigate a rigged market.
