  1. “Head of Freddy commits suicide…Good! Now If only we could convince Madoff it’d be the right thing to do. Anyone else feeling guilty about their role in the collapse? Go ahead off yourself. I’m not going to sit here crying for you.

    THL, he was only made acting CFO last September after the officers that presided over the collapse were pushed out. He had been at Freddie for almost 20 years so I’m not saying he was entirely without blame but his career was largely in reporting roles (eg he was an analyst/auditor for most of the 90s).

    Suicide is a terrible thing and deeply affects those around you. It’s fine to not cry if you don’t know the guy but it shouldn’t be wished upon anyone.

  2. i dont think people killing themselves when they lose everything cis all that uncommon at all. thousands of people committed suicide during the great depression. loss of loved ones most people will have emotional support. loss of jobs and all their money is much worse to some people, and they wont get support for the most part.

  3. Dibs – do you think that style apology is enough for Americans? I don’t
    I think we need these top tier folks apologizing and giving back some of the profits they made OFF OF the American People to their communities or through taxes or charities
    sorry a deep bow from them isn’t cutting it for me

    THL – ok start – I love hearing your take on the show….

  4. I decided to throw a couple of punches out there so that more4less can enjoy his lunch today and avoid reading ESPN.

    Sixyears, totally agree, it is about quality so I say we leave jessi to dhipster and go pick up some girls at our stomping grounds.
