Back in the 1980s, when Fannie Mae was losing $1 million a day, it contemplated selling the property and came up with a value of $10 million to $15 million. Today, it's worth much more than that.
In early July, the FHFA unveiled the new MI eligibility standards, which propose – for the first time – risk-based capital rules that are tied to a measurement called “available assets.”
The FHFA IG claims a Fannie Mae executive back in 2000 discovered that TBW had pledged the same collateral – mortgages – to both Fannie and another company. But then Fannie took no action until two years later.
