    Thanks for the archive link.

    This sounds very AI-like and ominous:
    "“Technology is improving and providing opportunities for us to remove unnecessary processes ..."

    Will Fannie Mae become another AI victim?

  2. Fannie Mae Hit by Turmoil in Senior Ranks as at Least 10 Executives Depart (some not by choice) ~

    "The upheaval at Fannie Mae adds to the already uncertain outlook for the housing market. A global selloff in the bond market this week sparked concern over rising inflation and higher borrowing costs, leading the Treasury Department to launch an unusual intervention" (that didn't work).

  3. Ooooph.

    Fannie Mae will start accepting crypto-backed mortgages ( per WSJ )

    This is NOT gonna end well.

  4. #BillPulte also got something he wanted.

    A day after the terse email exchange, #Trump posted a graphic to his Truth Social network that featured #FannieMae’s logo, a list of large homebuilders & the headline “We Give Them Billions.”

    Pulte quickly reposted it.

  5. Others who were part of the email chain included Almodovar, the CEO; COO Peter Akwaboah; Devang Doshi, a snr VP for capital markets; & John Roscoe, a #BillPulte loyalist & fmr #Trump White House aide, who served as #FannieMae’s executive VP of PR & operations.

    Days later, Almodovar, McCoy & Evans…were out of a job. Meanwhile, Roscoe was promoted to co-president of the company, while Akwaboah was named acting CEO.

  6. In the Oct 11 message to Smith, Evans, the #FannieMae #mortgage executive, also added others to the email chain because they “were involved with this week’s efforts to compile this information” & he wanted to “make sure you do not exacerbate this issue.”

    Danielle McCoy, Fannie Mae’s general counsel, weighed in, adding that the information Smith provided to #FreddieMac should “never be shared” & “could put the company at risk.”

  7. …Soon, a team at #FannieMae was overseeing an effort to pull together a tranche of #mortgage data, according to emails reviewed by the AP. Smith played a central role and shared the #confidential lender-level pricing information with #FreddieMac, which set off alarms at both companies, according to the emails.

  8. The 3 competing roles present the potential for a #ConflictOfInterest that is detailed in emails reviewed by AP. Like many matters of public policy in Trump’s Washington, it appears to have begun with a social media post.

    In October, #Trump criticized the homebuilding industry….

    “They’re sitting on 2 million empty lots, A RECORD,” Trump posted to his social media…. “I’m asking #FannieMae & #FreddieMac to get Big Homebuilders going.”

    “On it,” #BillPulte posted in response on X.

  9. #BillPulte ’s power over the #mortgage lending industry is unusual. Not long after his #Senate confirmation, he appointed himself chairman of both #FannieMae & #FreddieMac, which hold trillions of dollars in assets. The companies serve as a crucial backstop for the home lending industry by buying up mortgages from individual lenders, which are packaged together & sold to investors.

  10. …The Wall Street Journal reported this week that some #FannieMae #ethics & #oversight officials who were fired last month had been investigating whether #BillPulte improperly obtained #mortgage information for #LetitiaJames, who was charged last month with bank fraud after Pulte sent a criminal referral to the #DOJ. She said the charges, which she denies, are politically motivated.

  11. #BillPulte also has focused on large home #construction companies, which have drawn #Trump’s ire. Pulte requested #confidential #FannieMae #data & has publicly signaled that he is considering a crackdown if the companies do not increase construction volume.

    “I’m looking at the Fannie Mae builder data & with the top three homebuilders we buy EASILY over $20 billion in THEIR LOANS!” he posted to X in early October.

  12. In June, #BillPulte ordered #FannieMae & #FreddieMac to prepare a proposal for the firms to accept #cryptocurrency, another industry #Trump has boosted, as part of the criteria for buying mortgages from #banks. Last week, he persuaded Trump about the allure of a 50-year #mortgage as a way to increase home buying & building—a proposal that was widely criticized because it would drastically increase the overall price of a #loan.

  13. While Smith still holds her position, the senior #FannieMae officials who called her conduct into question were all forced out of their jobs late last month, along with internal #ethics #watchdogs who were investigating #BillPulte & his allies.

    The dismissals rattled the #housing industry & drew condemnation from #Democrats. It also gave more evidence to support claims that Pulte has leveraged the nonpublic information available to him to further his own political aims.

  14. “Lauren, the information that was provided to #FreddieMac in this email is a problem,” Malloy Evans, snr VP of #FannieMae’s single-family #mortgage division, wrote in an Oct 11 email. “That is confidential, competitive information.”

    He also copied Fannie Mae’s CEO, Priscilla Almodovar, on the email, which bore the subject line: “As Per Director Pulte’s Ask.” Evans asked Fannie Mae’s top attorney “to weigh in on what, if any, steps we need to take legally to protect ourselves now.”

  15. Emails reviewed by The AP show that #FannieMae executives were unnerved about what one called the “very problematic” disclosure of data by Lauren Smith, the company’s head of marketing, who was acting on Pulte’s behalf.

  16. Top #FannieMae officials ousted after sounding alarm on sharing confidential #housing data

    A confidant of #BillPulte, the #Trump admin’s top housing “regulator”, provided #confidential mortgage pricing #data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming senior officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose the company to claims that it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.
