Stupidest Lawsuit Ever Has Us Suing Ourselves: Jonathan Weil

"Here’s what happened. In July the Internal Revenue Service told Freddie Mac, the congressionally chartered housing financier, that it owed $3 billion of back taxes and penalties for the years 1998 through 2005. Rather than pay up, the McLean, Virginia-based company sued the IRS on Oct. 22 in U.S. Tax Court to contest its claims.

Before Freddie Mac could do that, it had to seek written permission from its conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency. FHFA, whose mandate is supposed to include looking out for taxpayers, consented. Freddie Mac disclosed the suit last week in a footnote to its third-quarter financial report.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Here we have a government-sponsored enterprise -- which depends on Treasury’s financial support to remain solvent -- suing an arm of the Treasury Department. Some thanks this is. To date, Treasury has injected about $64 billion into Freddie Mac and collected $8.4 billion of cash dividends on its senior preferred stock in the company."

Should we really believe any 'internal system' of any company committing serious fraud is going to listen to the ones exposing it??

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission took a step toward expanding its ability to reward whistleblowers after the Dodd-Frank financial rules overhaul provided greater incentives for tipsters to come forward.

SEC commissioners voted 5-0 today to propose a rule that authorizes the agency to pay whistleblowers in enforcement cases where sanctions exceed $1 million. Under the proposal, the agency could give claimants as much as 30 percent of all the money it collects when imposing fines or recouping ill-gotten gains. Awards are currently capped at 10 percent of collected money and limited to insider-trading cases.

“Whistleblowers can be a source of high-quality leads,” SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said at a meeting in Washington. “They can provide us with first-hand information about ongoing frauds that may otherwise not come to light. This type of information can be crucial to protecting investors or helping us return their funds.”
