More on Countrywide

Angelo Mozilo, the butcher's son from the Bronx who turned Countrywide Financial into a powerhouse of the subprime mortgage market, settled civil fraud and insider trading charges with the SEC today.

Mozilo will pay $22.5 million in penalties and disgorge $45 million in gains, according to Reuters. The deal was struck in U.S. district judge John Walter's court in Los Angeles.
