Thanks for the link.

THIS IS A LAUGH RIOT According to a USA Today report, “In securities filings, Freddie said it will pay a retention award of $1.5 million to Executive Vice President Michael Perlman by March 2010. Perlman, whose base salary is $500,000, already collected $300,000 of his bonus. Interim CFO David Kellermann will get an $850,000 bonus, and Senior Vice President Michael May will get $700,000.”

ROTFL. That’s just for public consumption------to lull the peon taxpayers into thinking their money was being doled out carefully. You can bet FM wire transfers to offshore banking havens were going 24/7. I hope the thieves paid taxes on their piles (stolen money is taxable).

16 Years at Freddie? CFO? He had to know "where the bodies were/are buried"....

The Manes story on Wikipedia seems very plausible. Is it not?

I guess the idea it to basically “give” blacks and hispanics houses and send the bill to others in the form of taxes to cover the defaults.


Reparations.

Very sad, indeed. To get to this point requires a sense that there is no other option. Of course, that’s a lie from the devil who comes to kill and to steal.

If I am not mistaken he and David Moffett were basically new. Brought in to clean things up.

Kellerman has been with Freddie Mac since 1992. He started as an auditor, and more recently headed up "mortgage strategy." He may have been one of the rare honest birds in that criminal menagerie--I have no idea. But he was no outside newbie and the positions he held make it difficult to imagine a sudden and recent awareness that something stunk.

“We’re not to give you details of the condition of the body, except to say it was an apparent suicide”

With Clinton it was two shots to the head.

With Obama.... one to the face?

Like I wrote on another post that was closed,
shades of Vince Foster!!

We can only hope and pray he left a letter in a bank vault somewhere that begins, “In the event of my death...”

Prayers for his wife and family. He was very young! :-(

I agree. I was just about to post that.

Why didn't he leave and select a place away from home?

And how did he die? This seems so odd to me.
