Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[jeddiemack]

The problem here is that when the government took over fannie and freddie and stole their rights and their value. They left the shares trading on the open market as common and preferred stock. So when this occured the government stole the value and the shareholders at the time had the value taken thus they are entitled to compensation.

However,

Since they left them trading, i don't see how because there are rights associated with ownership they did not take, thus how could the have taken all rights when obviously they didn't...

So when the shares continued to trade they traded now with the expectation that the government would actually conserve and preserve / safe and sound.... but they didn't do that, they stole more and violated the trust of the people by doing so, thus, these shareholders are entitled to some amount in addition to the government actually releasing the companies and doing as they said.

This is really a FUBAR - in the sense that yes,

The government stole 300 billion but may very well owe 700Billion in restitution. Which, the courts will never allow to occur because, its a big number.
