It's been a bad time for mortgage companies and few know that better than Freddie Mac CFO Anthony Piszel. Piszel is having a real estate crisis of his own, the NY Post's Gimme Shelter column reports that he has put his luxury home in posh Easton, Maryland on the market. The home is a Georgian style brick mansion on 4.5 gated acres on Maxmore Creek. It includes guest quarters an inground heated pool with brick patio and detached 3 car garage. There are six bedrooms, six baths, formal dining and living rooms, a cherry-paneled den, game/media room and a kitchen that seems rather basic except for the impressively large range. It is listed at $4.975 million.

trickle-down ecomomics does not work!! the proof can be seen on the front pages of newspapers around the country. it is time that the working class in this country get the breaks that the rich have been enjoying for too many years. first thing dont have a cut-off point in your income after which you dont have to pay takes - the working/middle class have to pay taxes on EVERY dollar they make - why not the rich??? trickle-UP - that is an idea that WILL work. you put more money into the hands of the working men and women in this country and they will fuel this country. just the concept of the "trickle-down" idea makes me ill - it says that the peons can feed themselves off the crumbs that fall of the tables of the elites - trouble with that - they eat every bit of the cake - an example of that is that house!!

DAB - do you really think Obama and Biden are "Joe Lunchboxes"? to do so makes you the deluded one. Politicians are politicians and if they were really working for us, per the Constitution, none of them (both parties) would take no more restitution than the framers of the Constitution took when they were leading this country. "We the people" need to be more demanding than all the special interest groups and lobbyists combined. Until then nothing will CHANGE (for the better).

I don't think most of you have a clue about business people in this net worth range. Eveything is always for sale. Yes, his house is now "officially" listed for sale. Yes, the asking price is high compared to the market. So it's on the market at the sucker price. Big woop. This is not a news story.

P.S.
Everyone that posts about McCain, Obama, or that he should go to jail just shows how ignorant they are. This is the Luxist real estate listing of the day. Check out the house and look at a home most of you could never afford and move on. Go post your polictal comments on a message board where people might give a #%&@ about what you think.

Now they should put that man in jail, why let these people make all these million, and they run the company in the ground with their extravagant lifestyles. All of the CEO's should be help criminally responsible for the things that are going on. The rich get richer, and the poor can't buy food and gas to even get to work. Now I understand why the Colonists wanted to fight to get away from England. We Americans should not pay another red cent of taxes until these fatcat politicians stop spending our money like there is no tomarrow. It's not the Presidents fault, it's these congressman and senators that are milking our money. We need to start over again, and get these that are in office out. Go vote and make a stand to these terrible politicians and their bloodsucking spending habits. It's time for the people to revolt!!!

What did he lose his $24m already. Must of put it in the stockmarket and like the rest of us saps, had to pay more CEO's their salaries for failing the American people.

Oh, please, the onlyh problem this CFO and Johnson, not to mention the Liberal Dems like Obama's financial camp are going to have is when they FINALLY get out of controlled abusive power and get INVESTIGATED by the private sector for the OBVIOUS....missappropriations of funds deep into the Democrat party pockets from the private sector posse that CONTROLLED FANNIE AND FREDDY.
I look forward to the day Obama is FINALLY NAMED!!!

So McCain is a crook and won't be able to help us if he is elected? And what the heck do you think Obama is going to do if he is elected? Don't you think that he has some powerful Democrats backing him with 66 million in his coffers for campaign money? Where do you think all that money came from? Obama has zero experience - only been a Senator for a couple of years so what the heck does he know about running America? Presidents are just puppets for the super rich anyway. They are ruled in a secret society by the super rich and are told what to do.

Thank you Dave! You are so correct. When Carter was President, he wanted 60% of Americans to have homes, Clinton, as they say, put the policy on steroids and bumped it up to 70%. So banks made loans to people they knew didn't qualify and now this is all the Republican's fault. So typical.

People welcome to capitalism. We come to this very website to ooh and ahh over all the stuff that capitalism built.

All politicians are the same. It is a game and truly what this country needs is a good American civil revolution to bring us all back to earth. (I just saw my name pop up on every CIA subversives list, but oh well.) We have real storms to weather (Ike, Katrina...) we can't afford to bail anyone out. Or to allow these rich big wigs to keep running the country (e.g. Anyone associated with McCain.)

Vote McCain Sep 22nd 2008 5:31PM

You foolish Democrats amaze me. You nominate a Muslim that has NO EXPERIENCE to run for President and you expect him to solve our problems when his OWN QUOTES read as follows:

From Dreams of My Father:'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father:'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father:'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

If you have never listened to a post before, now is the time to Do so!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word.

Barack Obama's real name is Barry Soetoro. He went to school in Jakarta, Indonesia and on the school registration forms he listed his religion as "ISLAM".

But as usual, Democrats will stick up for a radical Muslim just like they stood up for sex fiend Clinton.

McCain will put Pelosi in a "TIME OUT" chair where she belongs.

I imagine there were all Democrats on the jury that aquitted OJ in his double murder trial.

PATHETIC! ALL OF YOU!

Oh, please, people. Emotional hogwash. You keep defending these so called Derangeocrats and Repugnirats like they all are blamess. Stop the finger pointing, wake up and smell the coffee. YOU are being screwed by all of them because they have no vested interest in YOU. How much does it take to stop being so damned stuck on the "I'm right, NO I'm right button" when you are just sitting there throwing worthless words at each other and not protecting your rights as American citizens. As you sit there in your politcal stupor, all of congress, your current president, "justices", and lawmakers have sold you, your chidren, and your grandchildren down the river. When the news breaks, trust me, the bad news has been years in the making. GO get rich, and stick your tongues out at them all. They don't need you until elelection time, anyway. SHEEESH!!!
Anybody for some HISTORY LESSONS???

In a few short months when Obama is President who will care about this.

I think the Kitchen is no better than those in a new 250K dollar home. The rest of the house is ok, out of date but the Kitchen looks CHEAP

I am the 14 year old daughter of the hardworking man you all think should go to jail! First of all, my father is not a democrat. Second, he was fired "without cause" so he does not need a lawyer. Even if he did, his company would not be paying for a lawyer. Third, he was brought into FreddieMac to organize their financial reports to the SEC which had not been filed for nearly 7 years. He was chosen top 10 CFO in the US 2 years ago and was possibly the only person who could fix Freddie's situation. He did what he was hired to do and had the company on track to succeed when the gov't took over. By the way, his salary and any severence was approved 2 years ago by the same oversight committee that then took it away claiming it was a "golden parachute". He put in 7million of his own money and lost it all in addition to having all his stocks taken away. Those of you wishing him ill are not aware of the real story. My dad came in to help and worked his hardest. Now he is being blamed for a situation that was there before he started working for Freddie. He has been stripped of his rightful salary without even a thank you for what he did do to help Freddie. The government allowed, even promoted these loans for under-qualified buyers and now they turn around and blame the CFO just for trying to sweep up the mess. He only did the math, he didn't rewrite the laws that were already in place setting the mortagage industry into a tailspin. If you think he belongs in jail, you really don't know enough of the true facts of the situation. I am hurt from your comments. My heart bleeds for my father because he is a good, honest man who came in to help and came out looking like the state of the economy was entirely his fault.
