Kickbacks as ‘a natural part of business’ at Fannie Mae alleged
Investigators are looking into assertions by an ex-Fannie Mae worker that kickbacks were ‘a natural part of business’ at the federal housing finance company.
Before dawn one hazy March day in L.A., Armando Granillo pulled his SUV into a Starbucks near MacArthur Park, where he planned to pick up an envelope full of cash from an Arizona real estate broker, federal investigators say.
Granillo, a foreclosure specialist at mortgage giant Fannie Mae, expected to drive off with $11,200 — an illegal kickback for steering foreclosure listings to brokers, authorities allege in court records.
Granillo would leave in handcuffs. And investigators are now looking into assertions by Granillo and another former Fannie Mae foreclosure specialist that such kickbacks were “a natural part of business” at the government-sponsored housing finance company, as Granillo allegedly told the broker in a wiretapped conversation.
Investigators are examining whether other workers in Fannie Mae’s Irvine office solicited illegal payments, according to three people with knowledge of the probe, who asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Granillo at first offered to cooperate with investigators but later declined to talk, two of the people said.

Kick backs have always been a part of the mortgage business.From the lowest to the highest and back around again.Most people don’t know this but if you ever had anything to do with the business it was a widely known fact.Nothing new here.
A whistle blower. That’s what we need. Were kickbacks a normal part of Fraudie Mae’s business in the bubble era? So much money was made, some of the key players have moved onto more “respectable” careers, some are right in there waiting to unleash more debt violence.
