Hello and welcome to Planet Money, I'm Jeff Guo.
As Jack and Hallie started to follow the trail of those hundred million dollars, they would soon realize that they had stumbled across a story that went far beyond just Baltimore.
Today on the show, there is a new type of loan that is sweeping through the country right now.

In recent years, Wall Street has been funneling billions of dollars into these loans.
But these loans are also raising questions.
Are they a financial innovation that's helping the housing market?
Or a sign that Wall Street might be forgetting some of the mistakes of the past?
