It doesn’t take a whole lot to connect the stress at a place like Freddie Mac (FRE) and the death by suicide of its CFO David Kellermann, who was found early Wednesday morning.

So far, it looks like the NYT has the best outline of the story and the amazing pressure that Kellermann found himself under, trying to appease regulators, politicians, Freddie Mac’s homeowner constituents, and yes the company’s private investors - negligible as they may be. But… does a guy go downstairs to the basement in the middle of the night in his own home, with his family asleep upstairs and hang himself? Or, did he just know too much? Maybe under pressure, he was getting ready to expose the whole nasty, corrupt, and thieving mess at Freddie Mac???
