Hamish Hume, partner with Boies Schiller Flexner, discusses his victorious $612 million, breach-of-contract lawsuit on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders. In August 2023, a Washington D.C. jury found the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the regulator of Fannie and Freddie, acted improperly when it implemented the “net worth sweep” in 2012, and diverted their profits to the federal government instead of paying dividends to shareholders. The sweep was established after Fannie and Freddie failed and were put into conservatorship in September 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis.
