Expect more woes with prime home-equity loans

Appeared on August 6, 2007

Joseph Mason, an associate finance professor at Drexel University, expects to see more problems with mortgages that were disguised as prime. "Much of prime is not real prime. The Alt-A base (has) been found to be really subprime. And much of the subprime has turned out to be flat-out fraud," Mason says.
