The acting head of Freddie Mac, David Kellermann, has apparently committed suicide, Fairfax County Police tell WTOP. Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Mary Anne Jennings says Kellermann, 41, was found at his Hunter Mill Estates home Wednesday morning.
Jennings says police responded to the home after family members called police around 5 a.m.
"We were called from inside the house to come investigate an apparent suicide," Jennings says.
Because of legal ramifications, Jennings says she can't describe the nature of the suicide.
"We're not to give you details of the condition of the body, except to say it was an apparent suicide," Jennings says.

After reading this thread, this “suicide” is very suspicious indeed.

Evidence? We don’t need to stinking evidence! Crime scene analysis? Forget it!! Facts? Useless!
There is ZERO information that would allow any sort of conclusions thus far. For heaven’s sake people, shut up already. Only an A$$wipe or nutjob would begin making conspiracy claims at this point.
Sometimes the blind ignorance around here is simply stunning. Let’s pray for the family.
WASHINGTON -- Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who benefited from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deregulate Fannie Mae throughout the 1990s. So did Frank’s partner, a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions.
Now that Fannie Mae is at the epicenter of a financial meltdown that threatens the U.S. economy, some are raising new questions about Frank's relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie’s assistant director for product initiatives. Moses worked at the government-sponsored enterprise from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie.
Both Frank and Moses assured the Wall Street Journal in 1992 that they took pains to avoid any conflicts of interest. Critics, however, remain skeptical."It’s absolutely a conflict," said Dan Gainor, vice president of the Business & Media Institute. "He was voting on Fannie Mae at a time when he was involved with a Fannie Mae executive. How is that not germane?
"If this had been his ex-wife and he was Republican, I would bet every penny I have - or at least what’s not in the stock market - that this would be considered germane," added Gainor, a T. Boone Pickens Fellow. "But everybody wants to avoid it because he’s gay. It’s the quintessential double standard." A top GOP House aide agreed.
"C’mon, he writes housing and banking laws and his boyfriend is a top exec at a firm that stands to gain from those laws?" the aide told FOX News. "No media ever takes note? Imagine what would happen if Frank’s political affiliation was R instead of D?
Imagine what the media would say if [GOP former] Chairman [Mike] Oxley’s wife or [GOP presidential nominee John] McCain’s wife was a top exec at Fannie for a decade while they wrote the nation’s housing and banking laws."
Frank’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Frank met Moses in 1987, the same year he became the first openly gay member of Congress.
"I am the only member of the congressional gay spouse caucus," Moses wrote in the Washington Post in 1991. "On Capitol Hill, Barney always introduces me as his lover." The two lived together in a Washington home until they broke up in 1998, a few months after Moses ended his seven-year tenure at Fannie Mae, where he was the assistant director of product initiatives.
According to National Mortgage News, Moses "helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs." Critics say such programs led to the mortgage meltdown that prompted last month’s government takeover of Fannie Mae and its financial cousin, Freddie Mac. The giant firms are blamed for spreading bad mortgages throughout the private financial sector.
Although Frank now blames Republicans for the failure of Fannie and Freddie, he spent years blocking GOP lawmakers from imposing tougher regulations on the mortgage giants. In 1991, the year Moses was hired by Fannie, the Boston Globe reported that Frank pushed the agency to loosen regulations on mortgages for two- and three-family homes, even though they were defaulting at twice and five times the rate of single homes, respectively.
Three years later, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development tried to impose a new regulation on Fannie, but was thwarted by Frank. Clinton now blames such Democrats for planting the seeds of today’s economic crisis. "I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was president, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Clinton said recently.

Let The Inquisition Start With Barney Frank

Congressman Barney Frank says he wants some of those responsible for our current financial meltdown to be prosecuted. And we couldn't agree more. First up in the court dock: Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
Even by the extraordinarily loose standards of Congress, it takes some chutzpah for someone such as Frank to suggest that he'll seek prosecutions for those behind the housing and financial crunch and for what he called "a strongly empowered systemic risk regulator." Frank: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's point man in Washington.
For Frank, perhaps more than any single individual in private or public life, is responsible for both the housing market mess and subsequent bank disaster. And no, this isn't partisan hyperbole or historical exaggeration.
But first, a little trip down memory lane. (Excerpt) Read more at ibdeditorial.com ...
Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, but in June 2008, Kellerman donated $1,000 to Spencer Bachus(R). I was just wondering which side he was on politically speaking.
You know all of this crime and corruption going on and no one is going after these people. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Pelousey, Harry Reid, Charles Rangel, Chuck Schumer, William Jefferson, Dianne Feinstein, etc......I could go on and on. AND THIS TRASH is running things.
Every day more and more is exposed, yet it goes on and we have to watch it, know it, and take it.
I am so sick of it.
It is a shame when the laws do not apply to those in government as they do to an average citizen. Makes you wonder why anyone cares about the laws.
I’m very sorry.
The Chinese have a much better plan.
They simply drag those responsible for serious errors or embarrassing the Government into the street and shoot them...
The Chinese plan has a FAR HIGHER rate of success, since most of the bastards we have in Washington, lack the sense of honor or possess the courage necessary to accept responsibility and kill themselves...
Haven’t seen that list in a really long time. As I was reading through it, I wondered if the 2 kids from the train tracks would be mentioned. Had no idea about all of the bodyguards! Do you know if the new reports about their deaths are still out there, somewhere?
The GOP was in control of Congress after the 2002 election and until the 2006 elections. We have to be truthful...there is blame to go around...both parties took much money from the Wall Street crowd and let them do what they wanted to.
This is the second post I’ve seen of yours encouraging large groups of people to kill themselves.
I find it most despicable.
Hanging? Gunshot wound? Reports are all over the place.
Regardless, interesting timing with release of highly distractive CIA “torture memos”........

We have no idea of how much he was personally leveraged or what his personal fears were, nor his personal grit and fortitude.
It’s telling how weak and spoiled these current generations are, with the rash of family murder/suicides, etc.
Our generation and those of our parents were hardier folks, who endured so much struggle and suffering. Look at the greatest generation .. Korea, WWII .. what our immigrant families did to make a new life here, starting with nothing but a dream. They all hung in there, putting one foot in front of the other every day, with almost none of the conveniences we have today and making the best of their lot, while raising their children to have all they didn’t.
But now, we are a spoiled and weak lot. Sad commentary.
I agree, that is an excellent question.

Geithner Issues Statement On David Kellerman Death
April 22, 2009 10:52 AM EDT
U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner issued a statement on the death of acting Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) CFO David Kellerman from an apparent suicide.
“On behalf of the Treasury family, we are deeply saddened by the news this morning of David Kellermann’s death. Our deepest sympathies are with his family and his colleagues at Freddie Mac during this difficult time.”
I know. And I know.
It's literally an impossible job, a goodly fraction of accidents are undetected suicides, and even when it is a known suicide, deaths of serfs are unlikely to get much press coverage.
Any help FReepers can give to make the list more comprehensive would be greatly appreciated...
"Mmmmmm....that sounds yummy. By boys in leather restraints I hope (shiver)."
"Yippy, I am one happy plie-ing little sucker. I control the census, US foreign
policy, Medicare/aid billions via my bro's appointment. I got a tax-free Chi house
by forming my own tax-exempt foundation......and I even sucked-up last
year's (cough) earmarks."
" Anybody got a rolled-up sock handy?"
Do you have the Parente family who died in Towson MD this week. He was an attorney from Long Island, who did financial advice and whose checks were bouncing.
Here's a link to a current article posted here that you may have not seen:

Discusses going back to the Gold Standard...and makes an off hand comment that, gee, the powers that be will defend the current fiat money system because they derive so much benefit from it. YA THINK !!!
We have been naive as a people to think the corruption and evilness of powerful people would not visit these shores. Ha ! Teacher Barrack will open our eyes.
The "suicides" and "accidents" have only just begun.
Send in the Clowns!
Sometimes maybe ignorance is bliss...
