Freddie Mac chief financial officer David Kellerman was found dead in his home today. (April 22, 2009)
Freddie Mac chief financial officer David Kellerman — who became a celebrity because his company's risky real estate loans helped to fuel the mortgage crisis — was found dead in his home this morning. Police said he committed suicide.
Police didn't disclose the specific cause of death, according to the Associated Press, but they did say they found him in the basement of his $900,000 suburban Virginia home, where he lived with his wife and 5-year-old daughter.
Neighbors say he had lost a lot of weight and seemed to be stressed out. You would be too, if federal prosecutors were investigating your company's business practices.
The government seized Freddie Mac after it bled more than $50 billion of red ink. More than $45 billion of taxpayers' money was used to try to shore up the failed mortage giant.
Though Kellerman himself was not targeted in the investigation, he was in line to get bonuses totaling $850,000 over the next year, according to the AP report. Lawmakers don't tend to be happy about huge executive bonuses when the money is coming out of taxpayers' pockets.
Freddie Mac and sister company Fannie Mae plan to pay more than $210 million in bonuses in 2009 and 2010.
God rest the man's soul.
Is it confirmed suicide ... or could it be Obamacide ?
WHY the HELL would he commit SUICIDE???? What was he doing...what was he HIDING/// Who was he protecting?? Who was THREATENING him???
At least he didn’t go for a stroll in any parks near DC.
Too bad Barney and company don’t feel compelled to do the same thing.
Wonder if he left a note...a very long and detailed note.
I don’t know many people with 5 year olds who off themselves.
Allegedly......
I would NOT have a problem with certain anti-American MSM heads and politicians start committing the honorable act of Hari-Kari ... I’d even donate one of my katana’s
Gotta be an obamacide.
C'mon. An $850,000 bonus would make anyone suicidal.
or one of my tanto’s
What are the details?? Was he home?? Hanged....Shot???
Lezsee now, Rahmbo was on the Freddie Mac board for quite a while, paying out big bucks to political friends from the Freddie Mac coffers. Rahmbo had this dead fish routine and knife stuck in the table schtick to frighten his enemies. I wonder where Rahmbo was last night.
He probably shot himself 4 times in the back of the head
He was home. I read a report early this morning that his wife called the police at about 5am.
Haven’t read anything since.
2 threads in breaking. Seems to be some dispute over the method used.
