4. not much:

The government on Sunday said departing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae CEOs will not get the golden parachute payments in their contracts.

Fannie's Daniel Mudd and Freddie's Richard Syron could have received, in total, up to $25 million, an amount that had come under heavy criticism as the government took over the financially battered mortgage giants. That takeover, which occurred a week ago Sunday, thrusts trillions of dollars of risk directly onto taxpayers' shoulders.
