Warren Buffet is fond of noting that when a good manager joins a bad company, it's likely that the manager's reputation, not the company's, will change. (A simplified version is here.)
Apparently, good credits put into bad houses find the same effect. Or, as Tanta put it:
Insofar as FICOs are accurate measures of past performance, high scores indicate borrowers who have managed credit wisely in the past.

Sorry about your global financial crisis.
