Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[crawford2012]

Hello Mike. Yes I agree. Good read. Did you notice these two sentences.

William Black, associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, can’t understand why Paulson felt impelled to share the Treasury Department’s plan with the fund managers.

“You just never ever do that as a government regulator -- transmit nonpublic market information to market participants,” says Black, who’s a former general counsel at the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. “There were no legitimate reasons for those disclosures.”

This is called inside info that can land Paulson in jail.
