I want to highlight one paragraph from the OP:

“As the hole grew to well over $100 million, Taylor Bean and a handful of Colonial executives concocted a scheme in which Taylor Bean sold hundreds of millions in worthless mortgages to Colonial, mortgages that had already been sold to other investors. More than $1 billion in such phony mortgages were eventually sold to Colonial, which listed them on its books and on its quarterly reports as legitimate assets, prosecutors alleged.”

Waiting for the bank groupies to pile on with....
“So everybody gets to screw the poor honest bankers and get free houses now”.
“It’s the end of capitalism”
“Commies on the jury”
I can’t wait to hear the latest.

Prosecutors said Lee Farkas led a fraud scheme of staggering proportions as chairman of Florida-based Taylor Bean & Whitaker.

I wonder if he is any relation to Scut?

Out of proportion. Jury couldn’t comprehend, and a Florida court makes a house of mirrors look like a cathedral. So they pin everything on one man, cuz that’s what useful idiots do.
