Okay, so the guy worked at Goldman for a while. We've all done things we aren't entirely proud of, but he was from the fixed income and currency division, possibly just some quant guy who didn't fully absord the market-wide impacts of the strategies until he got further entrenched into politics.
That doesn't mean he's necessarily part of a giant conspiracy theory.
He also has worked extensively with Obama and Clinton over the years, pushing to regulate the markets.
Sure, in 2000 he didn't go far enough. But it looks like he's coming back to finish the job.
Don't have to be so dramatic over everything, save it for when it has to count or it'll be less potent.
