What is really sad is that this will be used (maybe privately) among certain politicians to further dissuade blame from government interference as a cause of the bubble and collapse. It is easy for some of our partisan leaders to suggest, "See he felt real bad about causing this mess. The stress and guilt drove him to suicide."
And I do mean that is sad. It always amazes me that suicides and deaths of certain folks seem to help the democratic cause when investigations start. I am no conspiracy theorist. But if this guy found damning evidence or if he could show proof of some of the political corruption that was going on, there was probably an immense amount of pressure and ethical turmoil weighing heavy on his heart, his family, his career, etc. For it to drive him to suicide suggests there must have been something he could not deal with.
