Rahm Emanuel - Freddie Mac Board Member 2000 to 2002.

"Freddie Mac agreed to the settlement without admitting or denying the allegations.

The SEC alleged that Freddie Mac engaged in a fraudulent scheme that deceived investors about its true performance, profitability and growth trends.

Freddie Mac misreported its net income in 2000 by 30.5 percent, in 2001 by 23.9 percent and 2002 by 42.9 percent, according to the SEC.

The SEC said that "Freddie Mac's senior management exerted consistent pressure to have the company report smooth and dependable earnings growth."

When I worked at Freddie Mac from 2000 to 2004 we had signs on the wall that said “Steady Freddie”. The mgmt had to “smooth” those earnings to keep the bonuses rolling.

50m fine and no admission of guilt?

It cost us 200B. Raines could pay that just out of his take for cooking the books.

Dems-Party of corruption

Let’s see. Rahm Emmanuel is on the board of Freddie Mac 2000 - 2002. Freddie Mac has a meltdown 7 weeks before the election. Rahm Emmanuel is to be Obama’s White House Chief of Staff. Humm...

So how does that work?

We bail out Freddie Mac and then we fine them $50M of the money we bailed them out with?
