How high is the water mama?

Some big, big numbers here. According to recent testimony from FBI Deputy Director John Pistole before a House of Reps panel, the FBI is currently investigating 2,000-plus mortgage fraud fraud investigations ongoing in 2009 (up from around 900 in 2006) and 566 corporate fraud investigations 43 of which apparently derive from the current financial crisis.

Three feed high and rising.

Exponentially.

Pistole’s full testimony is right here. Well worth reading
