The theme is quite simple. Did the BOD amend the bylaws with regard to an important issue, without two-thirds shareholder approval, one day before the Conservatorship started? Yes or not. Because the only answer is yes, then, it's a felony.
The Control Share Aquisitions statute in the Bylaws per Virginia Code, is an important anti-takeover measure that would have prohibited the issuance of the warrant, no matter that during conservatorship, the control of Freddie Mac is held by the conservator. In regulation, the shares of a warrant are deemed as having been purchased already.

Thank goodness the case was denounced in the S.E.C. in time.
