The problems in the subprime mortgage market have led to extensive litigation. The Washington Post had an article this week on the topic. Meanwhile, The D&O Diary has been keeping a running tab on subprime-related securities class actions.
Quote of note (Washington Post): “A consortium of investors is going after the collapsed Bear Stearns hedge funds. Home buyers, shareholders and investment banks have filed suits against more than a dozen mortgage lenders. A working group at the Securities and Exchange Commission is examining accounting and disclosure issues, as well as stock sales earlier this year by executives at companies that since have been ensnared by the subprime mess.”
