Yes, infuriating and not a surprise.
Argent and Ameriquest were two of the largest subprime houses. They are largely forgotten because Argent was a division of Ameriquest and was later gobbled up by Citigroup.
And Ameriquest is one of the All Stars over at the Mortgage Lender Implode O Meter, and therefore no longer exists.

Yep.
And my observation was that the SEC couldn't find its own arse with both hands and a SQL statement telling them exactly where to find it... and a few thousand Liar Loan applications for which the AAA FICO score had been fabricated.
Largely forgotten? Yeah, fahgedaboudat.
