Oct 28, 2015
http://www.housingwire.com/articles/35455-dbrs-settles-with-sec-over-misrepresenting-mortgage-bond-rating-capabilities Several things strike me about this event and the reporting on it: A relatively small rating agency has been thrown under the bus and has agreed to pay a fine for something we have known for nearly 10 years --- the ratings of so-called mortgage backed securities were a sham and continued to be a sham.
