Who knows sometimes. The search function defaults to “keyword”, so freddie probably didn’t come up.
I think his wife found him and called police. She reported a suicide, so I assumed he hanged himself. Don’t know for sure.
...our first Vince Foster under Obama. How sad for his family
If only we could find out what he really knew...
I believe that he committed suicide about like Vince Foster committed suicide.
In Japan, this would have been normal. It's what Chuck Grassley referred to about a month ago.
One word...Vince Foster
“Neighbors say he had lost a lot of weight and seemed to be stressed out.”
Sounds depressed to me
Is it me or are they trying to spin it as if the bonuses had something to do with it? I find his pending bonus totally irrelevant to his suicide.
Exactly! Fox said “someone” called 911 at about 5 a.m. “Someone”? A family member? Who else would be in the house at that hour? Who would be looking for him at 5 a.m. (if not a family member)? And I wonder what the actuaries say about suicide by hanging, at home, in the basement, at that hour if there were family members at home.
You have specifics of what he should be ashamed of? Or are you just smearing a dead person on the anonymous internet?
oooohhh ....hanging yourself at home in the basement does sound like a suicide......geesh....he lets his family find him?? YUK...
Frankly, I wish it were Franklin Raines. I know that’s ghoulish, not charitable, and un-Christian, but nobody is going to hold the filthy crooks at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac accountable because they are complicit with Congress in creating this mess, so the least they could do is dispatch themselves.
The bonus didn’t have anything do to with it, but capitalism certainly did. Capitalism is evil and drives people to suicide. Even though it’s a Government Sponsored Enterprise, it’s close enough to capitalism to smear it with a broad brush.
Oh please. As long as the money is going into their own pockets or those of their friends, they are thrilled.
Shades of the Clintons.
Jamie Gorelick (yes, THAT Jamie Gorelick of 9-11 Brick Wall fame) earned an estimated $26,000,000 serving as vice chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003.
The Clinton administration's White House Budget Director Franklin Raines ran Fannie and collected $50,000,000.
Big Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on Obama's VP search committee, has hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job. Johnson earned $21,000,000 in just his last year at Fannie Mae.
Think of why the Obama administration has been unable to fill almost all of the top spots from deputy secretary on down.
No one with any professional reputation and credibility on Wall Street is going to throw it away now by joining an Administration hell-bent on driving America and the world into the mother of all depressions.
Thus these jobs get filled either by incompetent sycophants or inexperienced scapegoats.
David Kellerman was apparently not the former and may have been unwilling to be the latter—and that probably sealed his fate.
If he did commit suicide, perhaps it was for him the only way out of a personally and professionally untenable situation. If he was murdered, he had plenty of people in Washington with motive looking for means and opportunity.
