On this day, the chief financial officer of the ailing U.S. mortgage company Freddie Mac has been found dead. David Keller was at his home in Virginia and probably took his own life. So far there was no evidence of a crime, the crime scene but was on the spot, informed the police station.
For 16 years the 41-year-old had worked at Freddie Mac in September as acting chief financial officer of the collapsing mortgage bank. This was only saved thanks to government support amounting to 60 billion U.S. dollars before the total collapse.
When the news about the alleged suicide of Keller was known, broke out in pre-market trading in the U.S., the price of Freddie Mac’s share in part a by up to 9.3 percent.
If David Keller man have actually killed themselves, this might point to some very bad news that can come from Freddie Mac. Until now, however, may yet be said about the reasons of Keller man.
Our condolences to his family and friends.
