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.

Thank you ...
Well, if there 1 out of 5 who cannot be helped, that means 4 out of 5 can. So in those 4 out of 5 cases it is indeed a “temporary problem.” Even if the depression comes back again, 4 out of 5 still have good days that make it worthwhile. I know, as clinical depression runs strong on both sides of my family with many members who have been at-risk or attempted susicide. When they came through to the light they were indeed happy that they made it through that “temporary problem” without making the solution permanent. I of all people DO NOT minimize clinical depression, nor do I however think that the taking of one’s own life is a great option for relief. There are many other choices, many of which members of my family have used and are using to deal with it without “finding relief” through completing suicide.
‘Treasury family’????
We are living in some nightmare Godfather administration.
Thanks.
There had to be something that tipped him over the edge.
I wonder what he was so afraid of that could make him take his own life.
What did he find out?
"Oh David-you won't see him no more."

Obvious suicide ......

David B. Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of the troubled mortgage giant Freddie Mac, was found dead Wednesday morning at his home in Northern Virginia, the police said.

Mr. Kellermann, 41, had been Freddie Macs chief financial officer since September. He was named to the position when the federal government seized the company and ousted its top executives last fall. In recent weeks, according to neighbors and company officials, Mr. Kellermann had received a bonus of about $800,000. Such bonuses which totaled $210 million for executives at Freddie Mac and its sibling company Fannie Mae caused some controversy earlier this month, and some lawmakers called for them to be rescinded.
According to neighbors, Mr. Kellermann hired a private security firm after reporters came to his house to ask about his bonus.
Mr. Kellermann was also involved in recent tense conversations with the companys federal regulator over its public disclosures. Freddie Mac executives wanted to emphasize to investors that the company was being run for the benefit of the government, rather than shareholders.
The companys regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Authority, had reportedly pushed to play down that language. Freddie Mac ultimately reported that it made changes to business practices to help the government that have increased our expenses or caused us to forgo revenue opportunities.”

They need a certain number of voluntary tax slaves to buy them their power. They need a certain number of dependent slaves to keep them in votes.
Remember next time you spend on something with an attached tax - - We can live without their money, but they can't survive without ours.
and that's not counting the situational ones, or other medical cases.
"Acceptable" reasons for suicide have changed through Western history. After Christ, for a few centuries, it was okay to show your lack of connection to this world and wanting to be with Our Lord. Then came declining numbers of Christians, political fights, etc., and Augustine of Hippo, the Council of Braga, etc.
Later on, dying for unrequited love was considered romantic and expected, yet dying for poverty was base and ridiculous...but as romanticism waned, the reverse occurred. Love was a silly reason, yet escaping debt was fine.
Now, we're at the "terminal illness only" stage for most of Western Culture. It's a shame we're not at the "personal rights" stage, where a person making this choice can do it in the open and discuss it with his family without fear of being locked up.
Many wouldn’t want to be publicized.
That was my first thought. He hadn’t been in charge for long, but maybe it was long enough to see the writing on the wall. I don’t know but I’m still afraid that we’re hovering at the beginning of some very bad times.

The family lived in Garden City on Long Island, a small, upper-middle-class community with one of the largest shopping malls in the world. William Parente was a tax and estate lawyer with a midtown Manhattan office. Betty Parente was a homemaker and a charity fundraiser.
Wednesday, Newsday reported that a Queens attorney filed a complaint in New York this week alleging he invested nearly $450,000 with William Parente, and never got the money back.
Bruce Montague, 47, an attorney in Bayside, told Newsday that he had asked Parente for his money back, after growing concerned about the uncertainty in the financial markets caused by Bernard Madoff’s multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme.
Montague said he invested in about 20 different deals with Parente, funding short-term, high-interest loans with Parente in an admittedly high-risk venture that yielded substantially quarterly returns of about 10 to 15 percent. On Tuesday, two checks that Parente issued to Montague bounced, and the attorney gave information about his financial losses to the New York Attorney General’s office, which confirmed they were investigating Montague’s complaint, Newsday reported.
Anarchists have been calling for the lynching of CEOs for decades.
They're running low on tax slaves, the tax slaves they have are over taxed already, but they need the social dependents for votes. They're going after private industry money now.
Without funds to buy votes and create dependents, the democrat party has no purpose nor power. They tax and give away. That's all they do. The more they can spend, they more powerful they become.
According to a March 11 company filing, Freddie Mac was being investigated by U.S. Attorney’s Offices in New York and Virginia. It subsequently was notified that the Securities and Exchange Commission was also launching an inquiry — which has since evolved into a “formal investigation.”
The company was subpoenaed for documents relating to accounting, disclosure and corporate governance matters in September 2008, October 2008, January 2009 and February 2009. The filing also says that SEC staff was interviewing company employees.
