Their internal operations are no better. I know of a particular multimillion dollar expense, the main purpose of which is to pad an executive's resume for a jump into the private sector.

Appraisers inflate property values. Realtors, closing attorneys, et al, grease the process. Straw buyers are paid to pose as qualified purchasers, using phony proof of income, assets, etc. After an inflated loan is obtained, they decamp. The property slides into default.

But the sale remains on the books as a "comparable" for future appraisals, I guess, inflating future appraisals in the neighborhood..
