If you walk in with a loan app that exagerates your income, and have a mortgage, you do still have negotiating power and can get more money by reason of theft.

Coming from the banking side, I can assure you it wasn't always "lying" going on. The banking side lenders would sometimes do all they could do to push through a loan to their underwriters.
Everyone was in on this. Banks, consumers, government... EVERYONE.
