Want a different point of view? Catherine Austin Fitts was top level HUD
at one point in her career.
She developed some computer software that tracked the payments going out
to Freddy Mack and Fannie Mae.
In her subsequent efforts to expose the fraud, she was fired or forced
to resign, so then she decided to go whistle blower and collect a
finder's fee.
Anyway, Google "Catherine Austin Fitts" hud fraud - for all kinds of
hits. Her case is yet to be resolved.
