Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Sogo]

Very interesting point! I’ve mentioned here that another almost intractable problem is that the nature of some crimes, like what was done to the GSEs in ‘08, ‘12 etc, involved sometimes complicated accounting details. What are the odds that any given judge can follow all that? Bringing in experts to testify might help but ultimately - can the experts even communicate the crimes clearly to a judge, or jury? I really think this is an area of “the system” where there’s almost a kind of arbitrage opportunity for sophisticated criminals, bc the sophisticated nature of their crimes is often beyond the court room’s ability to grasp. Granted, the fundamental principles violated in this case are not hard to grasp at all. But proving it and / or convincing a judge / jury beyond reasonable doubt is another matter entirely. Also, i agree with your point about judges, too.
