Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kthomp19]

Their "lack" of capital is a direct result of FHFA & Treasury $301 billion swindle.

The $301B number is overstated. $191B of that is cash that FnF got from Treasury.

Reverse the swindle and voila the missing capital.

Wrong. The difference between what FnF received from Treasury ($191B) and what they paid to Treasury ($301B) is $110B.

However, as shown in Fannie and Freddie's actual SEC filings, they face a combined capital deficit of $313B to the lowest of their capital standards (and without buffers).

"Revers[ing] the swindle" still leaves them over $200B short, and the shortfall rises to $330B if you include the buffers.

You should also be specific on what "reverse the swindle" means, and either which court case makes this possible (using the Prayer for Relief in the applicable case) or why Treasury would voluntarily choose to do so.
