John Lawrence – Managing Director of PennyMac.

From the following web-site: http://www.forexhound.com/article/Stocks/Stocks/Watch_Your_Wallet_the_Countrywide_Team_ex_Mozilo_is_Back/150108

His new team at PennyMac includes former Countrywide executives David Spector (a 16-year veteran), Farzard Abolfathi (21 years), Anne McCallion (17 years, ending as Countrywide chief financial officer), Michael Muir, (CFO of Countrywide Bank and head of asset-backed securities trading), Aratha Johnson (Kurland's chief of staff at Countrywide), Julianne Fries (chief of compliance at Countrywide Capital Markets), Brandon Ohnemus (lending finance at Countrywide Bank), Scott Anderson (Countrywide Home Loans), and Lee Trumble (also Countrywide Bank).
It's an all-star team. Anderson was previously at Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual, both of which collapsed. John Lawrence was at IndyMac, ditto.
The $300 million question today: Would you hire Subprime Stan and the team to clean up the mortgage mess?
Anyone tempted to invest in PennyMac needs to look at the fine print first.
Shareholders' money will be used to buy up distressed mortgaged. Investors will take the risks. But they won't get all the rewards.
According to the PennyMac prospectus, these mortgages will be serviced by an outside firm, PennyMac Loan Services LLC. That firm is owned by Kurland and his pals, BlackRock and Highfield. They will collect between 0.3% and 1% a year on the unpaid balances of each mortgage purchased. They will also collect "certain customary market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges, as well as interest on funds on deposit in custodial or escrow accounts."
PLS will also get 1% plus $750 for loans it refinances.
The fees don't stop there. Another 1.5% will go each year to another outside firm, PNMAC Capital Management. That, too, is owned by Kurland, his pals, and BlackRock and Highfield.
And they will also be entitled to a performance fee as well: one-fifth of all earnings over $1.60 a share (That's 8% of the $20 issue price).

The fine print also explains another wrinkle: When calculating whether the fund has earned the necessary profits, the company will ignore the costs of any stock and options in the trust that it grants to staff and executives. Sweet.

And our government who is of the people, by the people and for the people stands by and does nothing.
