Metamorphosis 1
A carrion eater is a creature, such as a hyena, that comes along and eats the remains after a predator, such as a lion, had finished with it. Lions seldom morph into hyenas in the wild.
In nature, defrocked lions seldom re-invent themselves as hyenas. Not the case in what passes for busine–oh, I give up. If I write any more, I shall break my own ban on raving profanity.
So it may come as a surprise that a dozen former top Countrywide executives now stand to make millions from the home mortgage mess.
Stanford L. Kurland, Countrywide’s former president, and his team have been buying up delinquent home mortgages that the government took over from other failed banks, sometimes for pennies on the dollar. They get a piece of what they can collect.
