A top executive at Freddie Mac was found dead Wednesday morning from an apparent suicide, according to CBS affiliate WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C.

David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer and senior vice president of the government-sponsored mortgage lender, was found dead in his home after his wife alerted Fairfax County Police to his suicide, authorities told WUSA.

According to Kellermann’s bio on Freddie Mac’s Website, the 41-year-old was with the company for more than 16 years and was named acting CFO in September.

That was the same month Freddie Mac was placed under conservatorship by the U.S. Treasury as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Phew!

    Honorable action should be expected from all who participated in the killing of America. Starting with Cheney and his stooge Bush, then going down the wrong side of congress.

    Hari Kari is the only way to avoid the coming disclosures. Go repukes while you can still have a respectable burial instead of just being thrown on the ash heap of histories worst villains.

    #21 you’re almost there. My first thought was this poor guy saw Obama’s plans and couldn’t bear it.

    Your second paragraph will be prophetic in a few years (if we’re still around)

    Since no one else will say it how about a little sympathy for his wife and daughter and the rest of his family and friends.

    Now, I am sure that he found something that tied Obomba directly to the $100 million that Franklin Raines got paid while working there and someone faked his suicide.

    It could be a homicide…perhaps he was unwilling to continue the coverup?

    #16 well done, at least someone got there.

    No mystery, if professional ambition, social status, and greed are the motivating factors of your exsistence, then what’s left to someone like this.
    I have no sympathy, we all run the risk of consequences of the decisions we make. As for his family I’m sure his wealth will leave them much better provided for than the victims of his institution’s mismanagement.

    I like how china does it…
    If someone REALLY SCREWS UP…OFF WITH THEIR HEADS..

    2 shots in the head??
    I cant see how he got past the first one..

    I find it interesting that ALOT of the bad guys, JUMPED ship, and placed GOOD people in the job before they left..

    #27 you need to listen to No Agenda to get the joke. Someone needs to compile a list of all those rats that jumped ship so we can give them over to an exterminator.

    I’m glad to see that Japanese business ethics are gaining ground in these troubled times.

    It should be interesting to see how Barnie Frank spins this into a positive.

  11. Mark T. says:

    Oh, and it will BUSH’S FAULT.

  12. hmf says:

    Um he hung himself. Where is all this “shots in the head” crap coming from…?

  13. Sister Mary Hand Grenade of Quiet Reflection says:

    The wife was probably getting fat and drinking heavily. The kids were driving him nuts. He just said fuck it and threw a rope over a beam. At least he didn’t take the whole family with him like some of these nut jobs.

  14. Glenn E. says:

    The US government only puts unscrupulous, unstable, incompetent, greedy people, in charge of stuff. Cause that’s the only kind they trust. So it shouldn’t be surprising that some self-destruct, now and then. He probably realized that he was going to be made the scapegoat for all that was wrong with Freddie Mac. Either that, or his bosses figured they could bury the problem with him. So he was dead meat, the moment he took the job.

    Look at the bright side, a new job opened up.
