I’m guessing he was lynched? I suppose Obama could protect him like the bankers?
The tastelessness of the Obomber administration...they didn’t even have the courtesy to take him to a lovely park setting and blowing his head off, and try to make it look like suicide...how much trouble could that have been? Say what you will, but The Clinton’s knew how to off a guy...a lovely walk in the park and BOOM...
Could be he was about to exopose Barney's (criminal) role.
Unintended suicide? What, kinky sex?
There was an illegal immigrant who hanged an indie actress and tried to make it look like suicide.

Didn’t make sense to me either.
If he wasn’t wearing clothes, it could be like the INXS death...
Wow. He must have been getting ready to squeal.
“...never let a good crisis go to waste...”
Ahhh, the sweet fruit of the obama administrations’ labors
Pinata ping!
While he was currently the CFO is has duties (worked for them for 16 years) was: senior vice president, corporate comptroller and principal accounting officer. He joined the company originally as an analyst. According to his biographical information on Freddie Macs website, as acting chief financial officer, David Kellermann “is responsible for the company’s financial controls, financial reporting, tax, capital oversight, and compliance with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. He also oversees the company’s annual budgeting and financial planning processes.” Prior to his CFO position, David Kellerman’s roles were “senior vice president, corporate controller and principal accounting officer. In this position, his primary responsibility was to support the business with the production of timely, accurate, and well-controlled GAAP, fair value and segment earnings financial statements and external disclosures.”
That means he had a lot of inside info on what went on.
Um, don't mean to point out the obvious but our sitting president has even LESS experience.
Who’s that?
Last month Freddie Mac controversially paid 92 staff $100,000 or more in return for staying with the lender while it dug its way out of financial trouble. Mr Kellermann received $850,000 as part of the scheme.
The payments incensed politicians, who were already furious over a $165 million bonus handout at AIG, the insurer that owes US taxpayers $80 billion.
Congressmen pointed to the $108 billion loss made by Freddie Mac and its partner company, Fannie Mae, last year.
His family could have been threatened if he did not cooperate..
I had a friend with unpaid debts who commmmitted suicide to protect his wife and baby from the mob
Auto-erotic asphyxiation, ya think? Well, that would fit with the government bureaucrat profile...
The police said that suicides by hanging often tie their hands behind their back.
