Default Re: WAMU to Stop Wholesale Mortgage Lending

There are plenty of stories out there about questionable lending practices but I think this is the first one I've seen concerning an Appraiser speaking out that actually worked for WAMU.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo alleged in a suit late last year that WaMu corrupted that relationship and used the promise of more business to handpick favored appraisers who would sign off on inflated property values tied to WaMu loans.
