Fannie Mae (FNMA)

Wrong! Lol

[Robert from yahoo bd]

POTUS'S couldn't kill them nor the FHFA and the Treasury. This calls for the United States Supreme Court or the Congress to do it and so far that hasn't happened yet. But the $ 308B question is will they?

[Stern is Bald]

One of my favorite case points is the FHFAs director was not authorized to sign off on the 3rd amendment or enter that contract…

Illegal from the get-go…

"Being in Conservatorship they have an obligation to preserve and conserve"

And, of course, they did just the opposite. Drain all the sap from a tree and it's going to die . . . plain and simple.

[jcromeenes]

The reality of this entire situation is that they put the GSEs in to Conservatorship but have acted the entire time like they are in full Receivership. Had they gone straight to Receivership originally they could legally be doing everything they have done. Being in Conservatorship they have an obligation to preserve and conserve >>> all actions would be meant to put them on sound footing and back to a safe, secure and functioning entity. That's where they went wrong yet continue to act as if they didn't screw that up.

[M I A]

I can understand your point of view, but it's far from nonsense.
Thinking of warrants as being totally unrelated to recouping of treasury "investment" is more likely the nonsensical view.
But....

First, Treasury and FHFA must agree to cancel the net worth sweep and eliminate Treasury’s liquidation preference. Fannie and Freddie already have repaid their senior preferred stock, with 10 percent interest. Is it ethical, morally good or correct, to make the companies’ repay their indebtedness to Treasury twice?

Professor Richard Epstein
Quote: "In closing, there is a simple test by which to measure the probity of the combined actions of FHFA and Treasury. If FHFA were replaced by a private trustee, and Treasury were replaced by a private supplier of fresh debt or equity capital, both parties would end up in jail if they concocted a scheme that resembled the NWS. Everyone would cut through the various smokescreens to see that the excess dividends were a naked raid on the interests of the other shareholders as happened here.” End of Quote

They should be cornered, and if so, this would be their way out of a catastrophic embarrassing event that could result from many things becoming public. I don’t want to assume anything, their arrogance, as in the case of Ps claiming fantasies through receivership that would never be. GSE shareholders deserve 100 a share, but we all know that will not happen.

[Clark6290]

Water under the bridge (decade ago). Mel Watt appointed and Mark Calabria appointed could have eliminated the Third Amendment. We didn't get very far with SCOTUS constitutional claim, sure Calabria was replaced, DeMarco has been long gone.

[Guido2]

Good post Rodney. Just remember that SPSPA and all the amendments are not the law. They're just agreements between two swindling government agencies. Agreements can be undone. That's what Janet Yellen and Sandra Thompson will have to do, to some extent, if they don't want to be embarrassed in Judge Lamberth's court. The minimum is the write down of SPS and Liquidation Preference to zero. This will automatically get rid of the bogus accumulated deficit. This will increase the equity of each corporation by the same amount of the vanishing deficit.

"Exhibits are submitted as part of the scheduling order and have to be agreed upon- The exhibits will be unsealed when the parties agree- everything will be unsealed at trial ….. you would know that if you were an attorney."

Among the exhibits, why couldn't the plaintiffs submit photos of the tombstones of all the former shareholders who bought Fannie and Freddie in good faith but never lived long enough to gain any benefit because of the scandalous seizure and long running refusal to release?

According to Professor Richard Epstein
The Senior Preferred Stock would have been redeemed.

Richard Epstein has been a great source of information on FnF, and I respect his opinions.

On this matter, though, he is just plain incorrect. I posted the exact language of the contract:

Prior to termination of the Commitment, and subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law and the provisions below, the Company may pay down the Liquidation Preference of all outstanding shares of the Senior Preferred Stock pro rata, at any time, out of funds legally available therefor, but only to the extent of (i) accrued and unpaid dividends previously added to the Liquidation Preference pursuant to Section 8 below and not repaid by any prior pay down of Liquidation Preference and (ii) Periodic Commitment Fees previously added to the Liquidation Preference pursuant to Section 8 below and not repaid by any prior pay down of Liquidation Preference.

There are four ways that the senior pref liquidation preference can be increased. Three are in Section 8(b) on page 5 of the senior pref stock certificate (the fourth is the dollar-for-dollar increase "ratchet" as FnF retain earnings, in the September 2019/January 2021 letter agreements):

(b) “Liquidation Preference” shall initially mean $1,000 per share and shall be:
(i) increased each time a Deficiency Amount (as defined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) is paid to the Company by an amount per share equal to the aggregate amount so paid to the Company divided by the number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such payment;
(ii) increased each time the Company does not pay the full Periodic Commitment Fee (as defined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) in cash by an amount per share equal to the amount of the Periodic Commitment Fee that is not paid in cash divided by the number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock outstanding at the time such payment is due;
(iii) increased on the Dividend Payment Date if the Company fails to pay in full the dividend payable for the Dividend Period ending on such date by an amount per share equal to the aggregate amount of unpaid dividends divided by the number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock outstanding on such date;

"Prior to the termination of the Commitment", which is the world we are in right now, FnF can only pay down increases in the liquidation preference that occurred due to incomplete or missing Periodic Commitment Fees, and incomplete or missing Dividend Payments. These correspond with (ii) and (iii) in Section 8(b).

None of those two things has ever happened. Instead, all increases (up until September 2019) to the senior pref liquidation preference have happened due to (i) in Section 8(b), which were draws from the funding commitment. (This is also why the seniors can't fully disappear if FHFA/Treasury want the funding commitment to stay; the seniors have to exist to provide a mechanism to compensate Treasury for drawn money.)

Section 3(a) specifically does not allow FnF to voluntarily pay down the increases in senior pref liquidation preference due to draws, which comprise $192B of the $193B of senior pref liquidation preference on the balance sheets. (The extra $1B was the initial liquidation preference.)


FnF do not have, and have never had, the ability to voluntarily pay down the $193B of senior pref liquidation preference on the balance sheet. This is not an opinion, it's a fact.

[955]

All of that is moot as long as we're in 'jail'.

[Rodney5]

According to Professor Richard Epstein
The Senior Preferred Stock would have been redeemed.

Quote “The conflict of interest took a more ominous turn with the adoption of the Third Amendment between FHFA and Treasury nearly four years later. At that time, the market had quieted down, and the GSEs were making timely dividend payments on Treasury’s preferred stock. Nonetheless, FHFA and Treasury ripped up the old agreement, and substituted in its place a new deal that created a “net worth sweep” whereby all of the funds received by the GSEs were paid over to Treasury as a dividend, even in amounts far in excess of the original 10 percent dividend. The consequences have been huge. Without the Third Amendment, virtually all the senior-preferred stock would have been redeemed. With the Third Amendment, about $128 billion that could have been used to redeem the preferred shares has been reclassified as a dividend payment, rather than a return of capital.” End of Quote

Please Note: “Without the Third Amendment, virtually all the senior-preferred stock would have been redeemed.”

[kthomp19]

In addition the warrants the Treasury holds should not be exercised, the Treasury has been paid in full, no reason the Treasury due 79.9% of the common stock of the company.

More nonsense. The warrants exist to provide enhanced value to the taxpayer. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Treasury recovering more than its initial investment.

Note 2: The liabilities on the books of $4.3 trillion are backed by real property, it's not liabilities at all tangible assets.

It's hard to tell what this even means. The entire purpose of a balance sheet is to show the balance between assets and liabilities, with any differences belonging to the equity section.

Fannie has $4.232T worth of liabilities on the balance sheet. Not zero.

The advantage of the JPS is in a receivership; And receivership is not in discussion any longer.

Nope. The juniors sit above the commons in the capital stack. That means if the commons are worth even a penny then the juniors are worth full par, and if the juniors are worth anything less than par then the commons are worth zero. That's true in receivership, in conservatorship, and outside of both.

An advantageous position in the capital stack means everything in a restructuring, and FnF must go through an equity restructuring before leaving conservatorship because they are hundreds of billions of dollars short of their regulatory capital requirements.

FACT: The Liquidation Preference can be paid in full and the SPS canceled.

I glossed over this the first time, it got lost in all the other common nonsense.

As a FnF shareholder, you really should not want the seniors cancelled completely. That would kill the funding commitment, which in turn would drive FnF's cost of borrowing way up and reduce their income by a lot.

Instead we should want Treasury to write down/convert all but $1B of the seniors, that way it is owed very little in dividends post-conservatorship ($100B per year) while the funding commitment remains in place.

[kthomp19]

If the FHFA would adopt the suggestion from Mr Howard, at 2.5 percent capitalization requirement this would open up, and facilitate, a path for the companies out of conservatorship.

FHFA already has mostly adopted this suggestion. The base (without buffers) minimum capital requirement for FnF is 2.5% of adjusted total assets. That's more than the 2.5% of balance sheet assets required by 12 USC 4612(a), but only by 6% for Fannie and 16% for Freddie.

You can see Fannie's adjusted total assets of $4.545T on p. 58 (p. 61 of the pdf) of Fannie's Q2 2022 10-Q form, compared to $4.289T on p. 69.

If the Treasury would deem the liquidation preference paid and the Senior Preferred Stock canceled the company's common stock could be relisted on the NYSE and trade at fair value, this could happen only if the Treasury would assure the market that the company has been returned to shareholders as a for profit publicly traded company. The company could still function for the purpose of its charter.

The exact same thing can happen if Treasury converts the seniors to commons, because new investors won't care at all what happens to pre-SPO investors as long as the new ones get a good enough return.

$4.3 trillion x 2.5 percent = $107.5 billion of total assets minus $56.4 billion company's net worth = $51.1 billion amount in a secondary offering to adequate capitalization.

Once the seniors are written off or converted to common (or some combination of both), Fannie's core capital will be $57B. 2.5% of the $4.545T above is $114B, meaning the secondary offering (if done right now) would have to be $57B.

Secondary Offering IPO would add Equity (cash) to the balance sheet, the secondary offering contributes the necessary capital to satisfy the FHFA requirement under the set capital rule. Keep in mind, new investors are buying earnings power of the business, the Shareholders are not giving away the company in a secondary IPO without a price; Investors are doing just that buying into the company.

Existing shareholders have no power and no say in how much capital is raised or at what price. FnF will set the SPO price to whatever it takes to clear the market. Fannie's core capital requirement is $114B and investors would have to contribute $57B if the SPO was today, meaning they would insist on at least half of the total equity.

If new investors insist on 75% of the equity to recap FnF and FHFA tells the companies to accept the deal, it will happen no matter what existing shareholders think.

Example: If the company is required an additional $51.1 billion as a capital requirement to reach the $107.5 billion of the 2.5 percent of total assets, and to make the secondary offering attractive the price per share could be at extreme discount of 15 percent and in this case the secondary offering would price at $38.79 per share;

No, it doesn't work this way at all. If new investors want half the overall equity, the discount would be 50%. If they want 2/3 of the equity, the discount would be 67%, etc.

Your market cap estimate of $263B for Fannie alone is also quite unreasonably high. Fannie's normalized income right now is only around $15B (it was very skewed by 2020 and 2021), and Tim Howard has said that FnF's P/E multiple lagged that of the market by around 40% even before FnF were in conservatorship. A much more reasonable estimate for Fannie's post-conservatorship market cap is $150B, and it could be even lower at the time capital is raised (which affects how many shares new investors get).

Conclusion, the GSEs business model, simply there’s no better. So, Fannie Mae can issue, at a later date in time (no rush), Non Cumulative Preferred Stock replacing the higher dividend payment to the existing JPS at a lower payout rate. The JPS Shareholders receive Par Value with a New offering.

What would be even better for the companies is to offer the juniors a generous conversion to common, like Citi did, and have $33B worth of room between the CET1 and Tier 1 capital standards to issue new juniors. That would cut the size of the common equity raise by up to $33B (depending on how many junior pref holders accept the conversion).

Such a conversion would be perfectly legal and in accordance with the juniors' contracts. Those contracts have the same "No Conversion Rights" language that the seniors do, but all that means is that the juniors can't force a conversion to common. They can be offered one at any time.

FHFA Announces Updates for Servicers to Maintain Fair Lending Data

(FHFA Fails @ Good Faith & Fair Lending - Jury Trial will Splain it to them)

August 10, 2022

Washington, D.C. – The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) will require servicers to obtain and maintain fair lending data on their loans, and for this data to transfer with servicing throughout the mortgage term.

The fair lending data to be maintained includes borrowers’ age, race, ethnicity, gender, and preferred language. Servicers will be required to implement this change starting on March 1, 2023. This update follows a May 2022 announcement, which requires lenders to collect borrowers’ language preference data.

“The need for collection and maintenance of quality fair lending data is a lesson learned from the foreclosure crisis and COVID-19 response,” said FHFA Director Sandra L. Thompson. “Having fair lending data travel with servicing will help servicers do the important work of providing assistance to borrowers in need, helping to further a sustainable and equitable housing finance system.”

[stockanalyze]

i was hoping to see in latest scotus filings that plaintiffs would clarify the fact that nws has not stopped: just pocketed from one pocket to another. judges were misled in believing it has stopped and i believe a clarification should be made.

[MoneyRobot]

Nice green day for all thus far!!! Eom

[MoneyRobot]

Without the lawsuits, we would be in worst shape than we are now. The NWS would still exist. Even though we have a de facto NWS, it still allowed us to retain something while increasing the RV of the sps. That monies at least did not go to DIVIDENDS which you can kiss goodbye FOREVER!

As long as the monies are not dividends, we have a chance to recover it. Nothing in life is free....go figure

[kthomp19]

WRITTEN IN THE CONTRACT STATES THE MONEY SENT TO THE TREASURY PAYS DOWN THE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE AND WITH THIS PAY DOWN THE SPS REDEEMED.

WRONG.

FnF does not and has never had the ability to pay down the seniors at will. See Section 3(a) in the document you linked to (emphasis added):

Prior to termination of the Commitment, and subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law and the provisions below, the Company may pay down the Liquidation Preference of all outstanding shares of the Senior Preferred Stock pro rata, at any time, out of funds legally available therefor, but only to the extent of (i) accrued and unpaid dividends previously added to the Liquidation Preference pursuant to Section 8 below and not repaid by any prior pay down of Liquidation Preference and (ii) Periodic Commitment Fees previously added to the Liquidation Preference pursuant to Section 8 below and not repaid by any prior pay down of Liquidation Preference.

The funding commitment has been in place since the original SPSPAs were signed in 2008, and no liquidation preference increases due to either (i) or (ii) above have ever occurred.

The part before that in 3(a) says FnF can voluntarily pay down the seniors after the funding commitment terminates, but it's still in place right now so that part doesn't apply.

The pay down option of the Liquidation Preference and cancel of the SPS was worded in the documentation between the Treasury and the Companies at the time when Fannie and Freddie were put in conservatorship, This wording remains unchanged today.

You're right, the language has remained unchanged since 2008. FnF cannot voluntarily pay down the seniors right now, and they never could.

The Facts remain the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full and the SPS should be cancelled.

1) There's no such thing as paying liquidation preference in full.
2) An extension of your logic is that a preferred shareholder in any company should just give up their shares for nothing in return whenever the total dividends received exceeds the liquidation preference. That doesn't happen in the real world, why should it happen here?
3) This is only what you think should happen. That has nothing to do with what will happen. Treasury has no reason to cancel the seniors when they can convert them to commons instead.

IN ADDITION the Senior Preferred Stock cannot be converted to Common Stock or any class of Stock UNDER THE TERMS of THE AGREEMENT.

WRONG.

The section about "No Conversion or Exchange Rights" only means that Treasury cannot unilaterally, i.e. without FHFA's consent, convert the seniors to commons. If FHFA and Treasury agree, they can amend the SPSPAs however they want, including removing this clause and allowing for a later conversion to common.

The CEO'S OF BOTH COMPAINES ARE APPOINTED BY THE TREASURY; and for this reason, we as Shareholders have no representation of our rights as owners of our companies.

The first part is wrong. They are appointed by FHFA. Your reasoning is wrong too: shareholders have no representation rights right now because FHFA succeeded to those powers as conservator pursuant to HERA.

FACTS READ THE CONTRACT.

I did, but it's clear you didn't.

No one from the company has sent a letter to the Treasury stating the Liquidation Preference is paid in full and the Senior Preferred Stock canceled. Instructions are written in the contract to do so.

Where are these instructions? What page and section?

[skeptic7]

[BREAKER098]

Good post, however, I believe you have two very generous #'s assigned to two very important #'s. Full Year Net Profit will not be 18+ billion. I'd say a more accurate estimate is closer to 12 billion. I also believe that your PE multiple (14) is a little aggressive - i'd say more like 12 as well. So instead of around PPS of $36 - I'd say it's more like $25.

[Rodney5]

If the FHFA would adopt the suggestion from Mr Howard, at 2.5 percent capitalization requirement this would open up, and facilitate, a path for the companies out of conservatorship.

If the Treasury would deem the liquidation preference paid and the Senior Preferred Stock canceled the company's common stock could be relisted on the NYSE and trade at fair value, this could happen only if the Treasury would assure the market that the company has been returned to shareholders as a for profit publicly traded company. The company could still function for the purpose of its charter.

Example of a Secondary Offering IPO calculated for Fannie Mae.

From 2nd Quarter 10Q 2022,

Quote: “Fannie Mae is a leading source of financing for mortgages in the United States, with $4.3 trillion in assets as of June 30, 2022.” End of Quote.

$4.3 trillion x 2.5 percent = $107.5 billion of total assets minus $56.4 billion company's net worth = $51.1 billion amount in a secondary offering to adequate capitalization.

Secondary Offering IPO would add Equity (cash) to the balance sheet, the secondary offering contributes the necessary capital to satisfy the FHFA requirement under the set capital rule. Keep in mind, new investors are buying earnings power of the business, the Shareholders are not giving away the company in a secondary IPO without a price; Investors are doing just that buying into the company.

Fair Market Value of the Earnings Power of the business $45.64 per share. (this calculation includes the 79.9% warrants converted to common stock). How much of a discount of the fair value the company would have to give up to attract new investors to participate in such a secondary offering I am not sure. The below example I will use a 15 percent discount.


Fannie Mae
07/29/2022
Reports $4.7 Billion for Second Quarter 2022

EARNINGS POWER OF THE BUSINESS
Market Cap $263 Billion
Fannie Mae’s common stock outstanding 1,158,087,567

$4.7 billion net income for the second quarter of 2022.
Fannie Mae’s net earnings $4.7 billion per quarter, a projection of $18.8 billion net per year.

With the WARRANTS: Fannie Mae’s common stock outstanding 1,158,087,567 diluted by the warrants at 79.9 percent adds a total of 5,761,629,686 shares outstanding…

$18.8 billion net / 5,761,629,686 = $3.26 per share of earnings,

PE Ratio of 14 x $3.26 = $45.64 per share intrinsic value,

Market Cap 263 billion / 5,761,629,686 billion shares = $45.64 per share intrinsic value.

Example: If the company is required an additional $51.1 billion as a capital requirement to reach the $107.5 billion of the 2.5 percent of total assets, and to make the secondary offering attractive the price per share could be at extreme discount of 15 percent and in this case the secondary offering would price at $38.79 per share;

$45.64 Per Share Intrinsic Value minus 15 percent = $38.79

$51.1 billion secondary IPO / $38.79 = 1,317,349,832 billion new shares.

After the secondary offering a total of 7,078,979,518 billion common shares outstanding.

Market Cap 263 billion / 7,078,979,518 billion shares = $37.15 per share intrinsic value.

FROM A PRIVATE INVESTOR POINT OF VIEW:

Example with Warrants:
Estimated Net income per year $18.8 billion / 7,078,979,518 billion shares total after secondary offering = $2.65 per share net income per year; amount of net profits Fannie generates per year per share.

Secondary Offering priced at $38.79 per share minus $37.15 per share Intrinsic Value after secondary offering = $1.64; the new equity owners are buying $1.01 per share net earnings per year for $1.64 per share; $2.65 minus $1.64 = $1.01 per share.

Again, new investors are buying earnings power of the business, shareholders are not giving away the company in a secondary IPO without a price, Investors are doing just that buying into the company.

Market Cap 263 billion / 7,078,979,518 billion shares = $37.15 Per Share Intrinsic Value.

Treasury holds 4,603,542,119 billion shares x $37.15 = $171 billion.

Common Shareholders 2,475,437,399 billion shares x $37.15 = $92 billion.

Individual shareholders multiply number of shares x $37.15 = intrinsic value of your holding.

In my calculation no amount of dividends were added for the JPS. The JPS are on the books at a small amount of company equity in the amount of 19.1 billion. The JPS are not due any amount of accumulated backward dividends, every issue of JPS are Non Cumulative.

The advantage of the JPS is in a receivership; And receivership is not in discussion any longer.

Conclusion, the GSEs business model, simply there’s no better. So, Fannie Mae can issue, at a later date in time (no rush), Non Cumulative Preferred Stock replacing the higher dividend payment to the existing JPS at a lower payout rate. The JPS Shareholders receive Par Value with a New offering.

NOTE 1: The two companies sent to the Treasury $301 billion and of that $301 billion a portion of that money is an over payment of the principle and interest charge that should be a credit in cash to the company. During the Collins Case, that came before the SCOTUS, the calculated over payment was calculated in the amount of $29.5 billion between the two companies. An estimated approximate credit due to Fannie Mae $15 billion, in such a case the secondary IPO price per share would change in the example given above. In addition the warrants the Treasury holds should not be exercised, the Treasury has been paid in full, no reason the Treasury due 79.9% of the common stock of the company.

Note 2: The liabilities on the books of $4.3 trillion are backed by real property, it's not liabilities at all tangible assets.


The so-called cram down where the SPS is converted to common stock.

The Senior Preferred Stock held by the Treasury was not a perpetual equity investment in Fannie and Freddie at the moment in time when the companies were put in conservatorship. The misrepresentation or possibly the misunderstanding with the SPS is the fact the Liquidation Preference can be paid off by the companies and the SPS redeemed; And between both companies $301 billion paid to the Treasury more than enough pays the Liquidation Preference in full and cancels the SPS.

The pay down option of the Liquidation Preference and cancel of the SPS was worded in the documentation between the Treasury and the Companies at the time when Fannie and Freddie were put in conservatorship, This wording remains unchanged today. The misunderstanding came in the mind of investors when the two government agencies signed the 3rd Amendment between themselves taking all the NET WORTH of both Fannie and Freddie: AND by doing so the SPS has become a perpetual equity investment in the mind of many investors: AND RIGHTFULLY SO, for the monies paid to the Treasury has not be declared PAYMENT IN FULL.

The Facts remain the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full and the SPS should be cancelled.

IN ADDITION the Senior Preferred Stock cannot be converted to Common Stock or any class of Stock UNDER THE TERMS of THE AGREEMENT.

FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF TERMS OF VARIABLE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES 2008-2

Based on past and current events, this situation was an instrument that allowed a power grab (money = power) by an Admin. During this overreach, an Unequal application of justice was and has been applied. How? Until an audit can be done, this was easily applied by utilizing siphoned billions (via net worth sweep) to provide the (aka - turbo) power to turn the mission of the GSEs ship on a dime. Back room deals keep it on its new course. A special committee will be needed to open the executive orders on the decision for the Net Worth sweep.

Can a jury be willing to take the first step to right the course of this misguided ship? Really what is at stake here: preventing Shareholders from making monies on investments that basically Govt implied that they would allow to trade {unencumbered}, or, the rights of individuals established by Constitution?

Fannie Mae Appoints Cissy Yang Chief Audit Executive

10:08 am ET August 10, 2022 (PR Newswire)

Experienced Financial Services Executive Will Lead Fannie Mae's Audit Strategy

Fannie Mae today announced it has appointed Cissy Yang as Senior Vice President and Chief Audit Executive, effective September 12. In this role, Yang will be a member of Fannie Mae's Management Committee and will report to the Board of Directors and administratively to the President and Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

With 25 years of experience spanning both internal and external audit across the financial services sector, Yang has led multi-disciplinary teams and developed effective internal control and audit frameworks across large financial institutions. She will replace J. Douglas Watt, Fannie Mae's current Senior Vice President and Chief Audit Executive, who will retire in November 2022.

"We're pleased to welcome an executive with Cissy's impressive background and breadth of experience to Fannie Mae's leadership team," said David C. Benson, President and Interim CEO. "Her contributions will be essential to maintaining Fannie Mae's strong culture of corporate governance and rigorous internal controls. I also want to thank Doug for his leadership and contributions to ensure we have a high-performing Internal Audit function that executes on Fannie Mae's mission with a focus on safety and soundness."

Yang most recently served as Head of Audit for Investment Banking Fixed Income, U.S. Legal Entities, and Americas Compliance at Credit Suisse, where she held various senior roles. Prior to her time at Credit Suisse, Yang worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and Arthur Andersen.

"I'm thrilled to be leading a critical component of Fannie Mae's business strategy and joining such a mission-driven organization," said Yang. "I look forward to partnering with my colleagues across the enterprise and working with the Board of Directors and management to drive Fannie Mae's ongoing audit and key risks assessment strategy in support of a safer and more effective housing finance system."

Yang holds a bachelor's degree in management from the University of International Business and Economics in China and a Master of Business Administration degree from St. John's University in New York. She also holds Certified Public Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst designations.

14 Years worth of Lawsuits

And the Supreme just sits there and does nothing.

That should tell all of you exactly who they are and what type of games they like to play - worthless !

There is nothing the Republicans can do as the government has fallen to the radical left. There is nothing you can do to get your shares back. Just look at the new kings cloths. The judicial system is compliant and no matter what the government says and how many words they use the GSEs have been very lucrative to the government, but you the shareholders have nothing to show for it.

Penn, the growing proliferation of unelected federal agency officials known as the 4th branch of government have been dominating Americans lives and businesses since the Great Depression.

This group of Justices seems like they are beginning to rein in the 4th branch as these federal agencies become ever increasingly willing to dominate our lives by broadly interpreting Congressional statutes.

Case in point is the Net Worth Sweep. Here, under HERA, the FHFA believed that it had the power to nationalize the GSES and implemented the Net Worth Sweep because HERA allows the FHFA to exercise power "for the FHFA'S interest and/or the public it serves."

In WV v EPA, decided less than 60 days, the Justices in essence ruled that federal agencies cannot decide on Major "National and Economic" Questions through broad interpretations of statutes

Worth a read.

***BOOM*** OUR NEGOTIATOR WARNS ABOUT THE MOB'S ATTEMPT TO BOIL IT ALL DOWN TO A CASE OF A FEDERAL AGENCY'S PECULIAR INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.
Thus, starting a debate about constitutional matters, regarding what is known as the "Chevron deference" (whether a Federal Agency is allowed to interpret ambiguous laws) or the nondelegation doctrine (whether a Federal Agency outside the Executive Branch can even exist)
The only misinterpretation and cover-up of statutory provisions, comes out from the Judiciary, both judges and crooked attorneys at the DOJ and those representing the plaintiffs.
The FHFA knows quite well that it's carrying out a secret plan according to the Law in an attempt to change the outcome by an act of Congress or a court ruling, and committing 6 securities law violations to that end.
If the Secret Plan isn't unveiled (SPS repaid and Recap under the guise of dividend payments), then there are multiple breaches of statutory provisions, not a misinterpretation.
They are the Organized Crime.

Exactly…
Not wise to take advise from a never will be that takes loans out to buy stocks…lol

Lol what a joke…

This is why our negotiator is assessing moral and punitive damages quarterly, calculated as of end of 2016, when it was estimated that FnF met a normal capital requirement.
Our only defense strategy.
With the secret plan theory, Fannie Mae met the threshold to resume the dividend payments in the 2Q 2021 and Freddie Mac in the 3Q 2021, after which the compensation for moral and punitive damages rose to 12% from a 6% rate on a $50 JPS par value.
The fact that it's been uncovered 6 Securities Law violations, most of them with complaints filed with the S.E.C., will make sure that we get this compensation in full.

[Wise Man]

The law says "Take any action AUTHORIZED BY THIS SECTION, in the best interests of FHFA..."
Can't you read?
Take their capital away isn't authorized in its power: put FnF in a sound condition (build capital)
Justice Alito and judge Sweeney will face criminal charges for stating the same as you, in their rulings.
I've mentioned it to you a thousand times. So, why are you attempting to rip off the shareholders?
The WSJ article doesn't apply to FnF because the FHFA has very limited powers as conservator and, as regulator, only its duty that says something like (v)ensure that the activities of FnF are consistent with the public insterests. This can be considered unliimited power and the Supreme Court should have struck it, instead of the "for cause" removal restriction, which is fine due to the reason that I've pointed out: LIMITED POWERS in congressionally chartered private corporations.

"Supreme is partly responsible for creating this mess"

Are not plaintiffs partly responsible for not filing proper cases against Gov? Plaintiffs are scared to file fraud case against Gov.

[bcde]

"Ano - TWEET on SCOTUS Filing of Cases"

Clearly this is the case of bureaucratic fraud against private shareholders and FnF. Not sure why plaintiffs have not filed case of bureaucratic fraud against private shareholders.

[PennMilitia]

Supreme is partly responsible for creating this mess

The courts have allowed this type of behavior in Congress for at least the last 25 years. I'm not sure that the Supreme has the courage to fix any of this especially with Roberts on that court.

[Robert from yahoo bd]

WSJ today on how the federal agencies days of ruling over the citizens and businesses lives with complete impunity and discretion from Unelected Federal Agency Bureaucrats may be numbered: "Administrative law, loosely speaking, is the law that governs the government. It has emerged as a defining interest of the John Roberts court, which is taking a fresh look at issues touching all three branches of government. That includes questioning whether courts should continue to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous laws, a practice (known as Chevron deference) that some believe lets agencies usurp Congress's power to make policy decisions and judges' authority to declare what the law is.

At the same time, a majority of justices have expressed interest in reinvigorating the nondelegation doctrine. That doctrine is supposed to prevent Congress from sloughing its legislative responsibilities to agencies through statutes granting them open-ended authority. The court hasn't applied the doctrine to strike down a law since 1935. The justices are also interested in guarding against erosions of presidential authority -- and accountability -- through statutes that restrict the president's ability to oversee executive-branch agencies."

Did the US CONGRESS really want the FHFA and the Treasury deciding on Nationalization for the GSES, when it gave the FHFA the power to act, "in the best interests of the FHFA and/or the public it serves."?

[Ace Trader]

Nice !

Seems they are all on the blood bath to push SCOTUS into a corner after there Collins ruling !

Question 1 to 4, they by US law have to answer YES!

Then those plaintiffs then can ask SCOTUS to hear there cases!

SCOTUS will either have to here the cases or revert back to federal claims for damages!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$

Home Inventory Soars at Record Rate With US Buyers Pulling Back

The slowdown in demand means more properties are being left on the market. That should give buyers some negotiating power, Realtor.com economist says.

By Natalie Wong and Prashant Gopal

August 9, 2022 at 3:00 AM PDT

The supply of homes for sale across the US grew at a record rate last month, another sign that higher mortgage costs are cooling down the housing market.

The number of active listings nationwide jumped 31% from a year earlier, a record-high increase for a third straight month, according to a report Tuesday by Realtor.com.

US Home Supply Soars

The inventory of listings increased at a record rate in July

The Federal Reserve’s effort to curb inflation by raising benchmark interest rates has put the brakes on the pandemic housing frenzy. This year’s jump in mortgage costs has sidelined many would-be buyers, and the decline in demand is leaving more homes on the market. Sellers are responding by trimming their prices to compete — a potential bit of good news for shoppers still in the hunt.

“With inventories increasing, buyers will have more negotiating power,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist for Realtor.com. “The two years of a market heavily tipped in favor of sellers appears to be in the rearview mirror.”

Inventory has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. And even as options increase, competition for homes remains strong, keeping prices elevated. The nationwide median list price in July was $449,000, up 17% from a year earlier and close to the all-time high reached in June. The affordability crunch and remote-work policies have been pushing some people to relocate to less-expensive areas.

New listings last month contracted for the first time since March, down 2.8% from a year earlier, suggesting some owners are reconsidering their plans to list with the market shift.
