contribution from the G-man
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.
