Devils_Advocate Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 http://www.news8.net/news/stories/0409/615570.html VIENNA, Va. - The acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac, 41-year-old David Kellerman, apparently committed suicide in his home in Vienna early Wednesday morning. This is awful. I didn't like the man, but I don't think he deserved death. How many of you think this is one of those early-30's Germany "Suicides"? I sure wouldn't wouldn't put it too far past them.

khaight Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 How many of you think this is one of those early-30's Germany "Suicides"? I sure wouldn't wouldn't put it too far past them. I haven't seen any evidence to support such a claim. Until some is presented it would be arbitrary to engage in such speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils_Advocate Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I haven't seen any evidence to support such a claim. Until some is presented it would be arbitrary to engage in such speculation. I think the way the way that the AIG executive hearings and the firing of the GM CEO were held was evidence of how much pressure and persecution the Government is willing to heap upon CEOs. I don't think it's all that likely the government killed/pushed him to suicide, but I don't think it's that far past them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intellectualammo Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) How many of you think this is one of those early-30's Germany "Suicides"? I'm not familiar with those. I take it that since suicide is in quotations, perhaps it is meant to suggest/imply homicide or something?

Devils_Advocate Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm not familiar with those. I take it that since suicide is in quotations, perhaps it is meant to suggest/imply homicide or something? During the early 1930's, Hitler and the Nazi Government got rid of a lot of political enemies by either pressuring them (through threats to them, their families, blackmailing them) into suicide or staging one. An example is the director of the German movie "Titanic." He was arrested, and found in his cell dead by hanging. It isn't known for sure, but most people think the Nazis hung him and made it look like a suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But often times in history killers would try to shift the blame to an innocent person, in subtle ways. So, I realize this is a long shot, but where were you last night?

So, I realize this is a long shot, but where were you last night? Nice. Often the real killer does things that throw suspicion on the person inquiring into the matter to keep suspicion from foling on him. Where were you on the night of January 17th. We've establisned that you were with Karen Anders on the night of January 16th. Now, I know where I was, I was getting Qalid Sheik Mohammed a big drink of water.

K-Mac Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 This guy was only the acting CFO since September, so what motivation would there be for the government to do him in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes his underlings would return to their room (or tent if military and in the field) and there would be a pistol there, with exactly one round in it. It was udoubtedly futile to just go use the bullet on someone more deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
