Do you know how much most new Fortune 500 CFOs work? I doubt he was raising his kid before, and he won't do so now either.

If all he had was a 900K house I doubt he was pulling 100 hour weeks.

He was just an acting CFO, so he may have just been promoted. The last proxy I could find showed the CFO made just over $4.3 million for Freddie Mac in 2007. I would guess he is familiar with the 100 hour workweek, at least on occassion.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

QuoteKellermann, 41, lived in Hunter Mill Estates, a well-off neighborhood of large single-family homes with manicured lawns. County records show Kellermann's home is worth about $900,000.
Isn't it rather cheap for a financial shark?

real estate values  ;)  have been plummeting. it's probably worth less.

Well despite your opinion I still say kids prefer their parents do not kill themselves before they turn 6.  Call me an idiot who knows nothing about the families of CFOs if you wish.

Perhaps he needed to see a therapist.

It just seems a bit harsh.

Maybe we can say that the kid is better off without a father than a suicidal one just waiting for him to turn 18? :P

No I will not say such a thing.

Poor form, Gay Fox.  When you kill yourself, do you want people to react that way?

No one will care, I am not a CFO.

I just saw a screen crawl on TV that the FBI is investigating Freddie for accounting fraud.

I remember back during the AIG bonus witch hunt/kangaroo Congressional court, that Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac employees were about to get their bonuses as well. If so, seems that never really made the slash and burn news cycle. I wonder if that added to this man's stress levels, to add to causing him to kill himself? Sad that he committed suicide; condolences to the family.   :(
