Kendra was also instrumental in prosecuting the complex securities litigation against the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), which persuasively alleged that investors’ losses were caused by Fannie Mae’s statements and actions rather than the financial crisis and resulted in a $170 million settlement.
