enron was fraud, lehman imploded.

fannie and freddie is just structured finance. it's a simple restructuring, tim howard outlines the two paths.

1. To get value out of its $120.8 billion of senior preferred stock in Fannie and $72.6 billion of senior preferred in Freddie, Treasury will have to convert them into each company’s common stock.

2. Here, Treasury would work with FHFA and the administration’s senior economic team to negotiate a recapitalization and release agreement that includes retroactive cancellation of the non-repayment provision of the senior preferred and a recasting of the companies’ remittances under the net worth sweep as repayments of the senior preferred stock (which would pay all of it off for both).
