When word of Pizzo’s stories in the Russian River News reached Muolo’s paper, he was sent to California to see if there was more to report. After two meetings with Pizzo and Fricker, Muolo agreed that the subject was of national importance, and the three began working together on what became Inside Job. Muolo is also the coauthor of Chain of Blame, which was named one of the ten best business books of 2008 by BusinessWeek. He also serves as executive editor of National Mortgage News, the leading independent trade publication of the residential finance industry. He is a member of the NMN staff that received the 1990 Polk Award for its coverage of the savings and loan crisis, and his weekly web column, “What We’re Hearing,” is one of the most popular in the mortgage industry. Muolo’s freelance work has appeared in Barron’s, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Euromoney, Playboy, and other publications.view less
