The way a lot of sub prime loans were structured they didn't require PMI, for example 80/20 loans.

Just more ridiculousness out of this mess.

Exactly, let's say that I get an appraisal at the top of the market at 600k, and then take out a loan for $480k (80%) and therefore avoid mortgage insurance. If the value today is 400k (33% drop in value) and I walk . . . the bank takes the hit for 80k.
