(Reuters) -Angelo Mozilo, who propelled Countrywide Financial Corp to become the largest U.S. mortgage lender before its crash in the 2008 financial crisis, has died, his family foundation said.
Mozilo, 84, died of natural causes, the foundation said in a statement on July 16.
He became the face of the mortgage meltdown when the subprime crisis surfaced in 2007. He was the son of a Bronx butcher who embodied a rags-to-riches success story.
