Newz Flash: Fannie Mae's Collateral Underwriter Hacked!!!

A disgruntled man who lost his home to foreclosure did it!! The CU system is completely shut down. No details were available on when, or if, it will be fixed. The un-named man was not available for comment as he is reportedly hiding out in a remote tent in the woods in a very rural upper Michigan or Canadian location.

He, his wife, and 4 children are now living in a Tiny House on his brother in law's rural property in Michigan. They lost their suburban 4 bedroom home they had owned for over 20 years to foreclosure. The family has an outhouse, a hand pumped well and wood heat. A small solar power array is used for a computer and Internet connection with a few hours of electricity daily.

Who is in an uproar about this? 

- Not appraisers who don't like a system that evaluates their appraisals but they don't know the criteria. 

vNot underwriters who are required to learn a new system and do manual reviews of appraisals before sending warnings to appraisers. 

- Not loan officers whose deals are taking longer to close. Not borrowers who have to wait longer to get their loans approved. 

- Not law enforcement, who don't think he is a terrorist or a nut holed up with a lot of guns.

FYI, it is April 1 today. You know what that means ;>
