WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Surprise.... Answer..

The three who brought down Wall Street.

Here's a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who
brought down Wall Street.


Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae.
Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when
auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting
activities. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240 Million in
benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the
accounting scandal became clear.


Tim Howard - was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard "was a
strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure
a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. Investigations by federal
regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that
management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and
Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was
estimated at $20 Million!


Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later
forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that
Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation
from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million
when it fact it was $21 million." Johnson is currently under investigation
for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie
Mae.
Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

  • Lol.
    I like how in the "debunking" of this piece (which clearly is distorted\exaggerated, i won't debate that), they admit that Jim Johnson (Fannie CEO, and Lehman exec.) was part of a 3 Man team tapped by Obama to VET VP choices.

    Someone should have helped Obama to VET his VETTERS better.

    Vet your vetters better.
    Vet your vetters better.

    There, i said it.

    "Done" isn't a left/right thing. It's more like- flip it over.
