Borrowers will also be required to put down a larger down payment.

I merely caught a bit on some random talk radio show while flipping through stations last night at work.

I don't think Jail time is really an option since they didn't really do anything illegal - as far as a new ineptitude is still not a crime. In all fairness, the current situation is not limited to them by any means. It is a result of greed on so many levels. Not just lenders, but buyers as well.

THAT is obscene! WHO is paying that money to them? US that's who. If you are fired from your job for failing to do you job are you given severance packages and benefits? No, neither am I. But these clowns walk away scot free with millions? This is just the beginning and nowhere near the end.
