Where is the outrage? Why aren’t the Occupy Wall Street protesters clamoring for these people to be punished for bringing down our entire economy? (Answer: They are all Democrats who are favorites of Obama!)     
   The 3 men who helped pull down Wall  Street...

Be sure to read the "where they are now" at the end  !!


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. At the time of his departure The Wall Street  Journal <http://www.wsj.com/ <http://www.wsj.com/> > noted, " Raines, who long defended the  company's accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn't proper,  issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that "mistakes were made"  and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised.  News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from  regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the  company's books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles  for four years."  Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9  billion.

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.http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ <http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/> . The Government noted, "The 101 charges  reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize  their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and  internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and  misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they  submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements  and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in  an unsafe and unsound manner."  These charges were made in  2006.  The Court ordered Raines to return $50  Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the  miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.

Net windfall . . . $190  million!

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. In everyday English - he was cooking the books.  The  Government Investigation determined that, "Chief Financial Officer,  Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and  reporting functions within Fannie Mae,"

On June 16, 2006, Rep.  Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his  allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in  October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance  giant's income statement to achieve management pay bonuses.  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.   A look at the Office of  Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's May 2006  report <http://www.ofheo.gov/media/pdf/FNMSPECIALEXAM.PDF<http://www.ofheo.gov/media/pdf/FNMSPECIALEXAM.PDF> > on mismanagement and corruption inside  Fannie Mae, and you'll see some interesting things about  Johnson. 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.
