"Transactions appear to be at odds with federal ethics rules. Because the loans were at below-market rates, Holman said, Sperling received a financial benefit akin to a gift. Federal rules bar executive branch employees from accepting gifts from “prohibited sources,’’ defined as anyone with business before the federal government. There can be exemptions for personal friendship, but Holman said such gifts should be barred because of the conflicts of interest they pose."
Article also points out he worked on getting the 25B settlement from the GS, JPM, Warren Buffet, I mean Wells Fargo, Citi and GMAC/Ally... (Did Ally pay all the money back???)

Maybe I am oversimplifying this, but am thinking that with Sperling's work back in 2012 for 25B and the extra dividends from Freddie now paying $99.1 Billion in cumulative dividends returned to the taxpayers and Fannie repaying $148.5 billion in cumulative dividends returned to the taxpayers minus all the other lawsuit money that was paid for selling bad mortgages to the GSE's... Mel has got that $125B he needs if he can get it out of that piggy bank...
