I forgot the other juicy tidbit about Miss Penny
When it began, “subprime lending” wasn’t a term in common usage, let alone understood outside financial circles. One of its late 1990s originators was Obama campaign finance chairperson Penny Pritzker when she served on the Board of the failed family-owned Hinsdale, IL Superior Bank. It cost the FDIC $700 million and depositors another $65 million, while Pritzker made millions on predatory lending now called “subprime” mortgage schemes.
Superior Bank?? It should be Inferior Bank!! What a bunch of slimeballs!!
