Thanks to Michelle Malkin for pointing to the details. October 9, 2008 USA Today reports on Franklin Raines swingin' new bachelor pad:
Washingtonian says Raines just paid $4.9 million for "a three-bedroom, seven-bath penthouse condominium" in Washington's Ritz-Carlton Residences.And of course, Raines has been Obama's adviser on housing matters. I can see why!
The Washington Post says Raines and his wife are splitting up and agreed to sell their old house for $7.6 million.
Fannie Mae, a mortgage finance company that is now controlled by the government, had to restate billions in earnings because of accounting problems during his tenure. "Regulators have said that of the $90 million paid to Mr. Raines from 1998 to 2003 at least $52 million — more than half — was tied to bonus targets that were reached by manipulating accounting," The New York Times reported two years ago.
