According to the Washington Post article on the death, which in turn quotes biographical data from the Freddie Mac web site, “Kellermann previously served as senior vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer for Freddie Mac, the profile said.”

This guy was Freddie Mac’s chief bean counter. As soon as one can say “accounting irregularities” one comes up with a perfectly plausible reason for this guy to off himself.

Remember, nObama is currently from the Chicago area, although he is temporarily(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) residing in Washington, DC.

My first thought was about how many shots in the back of the head it took for this guy to commit suicide ;)

It’s more than that. He was also the Controller. If he is like most Controllers, the poor bastard ran the “wire room”. He not only knew where the bodies were buried, but he also had their names and a map. It’s not that he was about to find anything, he was in a position to already have known. He was there for 16 years. Some people might speculate that his negotiations with the Board and his Government handlers didn’t go very well. They’d further postulate that he may have asked for some guarantees. The mere notion that you’d be willing to discuss “singing” to anybody in lieu of security when the stakes are that high and at that level would seal your fate, if true.

This should send a powerful msg to CFO’s and Controllers in the banking system. I’d expect the markets to fall significantly today.

Meanwhile I’ll bet that this poor bastard shot himself with a famed “saturday night special”. Where would a major senior officer of any major institution of any kind even get one of those things? Who knows? Right?

How un-suicide like if it’s true.

Everytime the Government is to be exposed in a major corruption scandal, some poor CFO/Controller buys the farm with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Remember CFO Baxter of Enron? Didn’t he shoot himself in the back of his own head while sitting in his car? I think I read that. There was another big gas company CFO/Controller type that ate a bullet at that time too. How strange, right?

If I were a controller at any “soon-to-be-government-owned” investment bank on Wall Street, I’d leave the country and document EVERYTHING that they know and hand it off not to just one attorney, but to ten. Assume a new ID.

Unfortunately, they’d probably still find them and then OOPS!, another CFO bites a bullet by his own hand.

May sound kooky, but I’ll bet more than one CFO or Controller soiled himself this morning when he heard the news.

I’m concerned he might know things are going to get much much worse and couldn’t face it.

This should be an example for Frank and Dodd of what an honorable man does when he commits a crime against society.

Yes we have to wonder maybe he had some type of conscience though who knows and did what some of the orientals do when they have dishonored.

Interesting post I saw today. If you go down to poster RTFG and click on the tickerforum link in his post you will see many posts about Freddie Mac by “BLUMUNKI” who is believe to be Kellerman. Note the date. Kellerman worked for Freddie for 16 years.

Lori, the link doesn’t work. I think this is the legislation that Ron Paul wants to inventory the gold. I think he will be surprised if it happens because I bet the gold is gone or does not belong to us.

The death count in the Obama administration has begun. Who could have predicted it would begin so soon?
