``William "Bill" Ashmore is the co-founder and President of Impac Mortgage Holdings Inc. And I have to say that I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to offer my listeners this Mandelman Matters Podcast, because Bill is a true technical expert in the securitization of Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS"), Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs"), and pretty much anything else you could think of related to mortgages and the mortgage meltdown that began in 2007.

Since co-founding Impac in 1995, Bill has been personally... no, intimately involved in securitizing tens of billions of dollars in mortgages, so as you'd imagine, he knows the difference between a tranche... and a trench. He knows how the ratings agencies rated bonds AAA that later were downgraded to BBB and below. He understands what Credit Default Swaps are "swapping," and all the different types of insurance that many people have come to believe "paid off their loans," at least once.''
