A debate about a $1 million home loan made to a stripper in Charlotte, North Carolina has turned up in the bond insurer MBIA’s case against Credit Suisse.

The loan to the stripper was a “stated income” loan. The stripper apparently claimed to be earning $12,000 a month, for an annual income of $142,000. Credit Suisse bankers ask in emails submitted with court filings by MBIA whether such a figure is realistic.

“Those envelopes could get heavy full of small $ bills,” he writes. “I don’t believe she is making $12k per month."

The stripper reportedly never made a payment on the loan.
