Seriously? You do not find it odd at all that he allowed to be overruled on numerous occasions? And then left at the most convenient time? It's like Ben Bernanke or Yellen having no issues to be overruled by other Fed voting members on rate setting. In addition maybe you can go down the article and list all the lawyers and lobbyists with clear ethnic names that all played part in this and where they came from and where their parachutes landed after all. After that you shall get a clearer picture where US regulators stand with regard to their attitude towards Wall Street. It's one big whore house and everyone sleeps with everyone.

I'm specifically talking about Gensler here who you pinned the finger on here as some kind of bank-friendly policy maker allowing the banks to get away with whatever.

The article clearly makes the point that the banks did *not* like him:
“Given Gensler’s view of the world, a lot of firms, ourselves included, stopped meeting with him,” said one bank executive. “He was confrontational and not terribly open minded, unlike our experience with Mark, who wanted to be educated about the issues.”
Gensler had little patience for the bank-friendly Wetjen, former CFTC officials say. As their disagreements sharpened, Wetjen’s pro-bank views seemed to harden, these people said.
If there's anyone you should be paying more attention to here it would be Wetjen.
Then maybe you should read up on his earlier plunders. I never form an opinion about a human being based on an article I read. Nor should anyone else. Is it coincidence that under his reign basically the DF act has become meaningless and banks are now less regulated than they have ever been before in some key areas such as derivatives? Read up on him and you shall see.
This just isn't OK in any way. Your anti-semitism is abhorrent and completely unacceptable. It's not political correctness that says you don't stereotype someone because of their race, it's just common human decency. This post, and sadly the majority of your posts, make this community a less pleasant place to be and destroy rather than create value. It would be great if you could take all the money you're so proud to have earned and put it to some good in the world, but barring that at least stop being evil or rant at your walls instead of subjecting the rest of us to your warped view of the world that the rest of us categorically reject.
Antisemitism because I dared to use the term "Jew"? Or because I correctly stated that most everyone in American high finance, regulation, private equity, investment bank that ever set foot into Goldman and rose through the ranks is Jew? Or that pretty much every American based media conglomerate is controlled by Jews? Or every news outlet, many-most high tech startups, publishing house, and the fact that many in the business line of lobby ism are Jews? See any parallels? Keep in mind that this is all despite the fact that American Jews do not even score the highest in most aptitude tests compared to certain other ethnic groups (for example Asian Americans) and certainly do not work any harder than Asian Americans. So, the question begs: How come that there are so many Jews in leadership positions and in positions that control and regulate vast number of markets and environments? Do you have a reasonable answer other than just calling me antisemitic?
By the way: Antisemitism (also spelled anti-Semitism or anti-semitism) is prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as an ethnic, religious, or racial group. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite.
a) I do not hold prejudice
b) nor hatred,
c) nor do I discriminate in my posts against any Jews.
I did in fact donate large parts of my previous wealth and currently volunteer at various organizations and would describe myself as a very courteous person who holds doors open for others behind me, picks up stuff others drop by accident, leaves public restrooms in a cleaner state than how I found them, among various other attitudes to honor others and play a part in making this world a slightly better place to live in.
Sorry that it rubs your shoulders that someone is speaking out the truth and is asking inconvenient questions. But hey, as German we are used to be made mouth-dead as soon as we dare to use the terms "Jew", "Jewish", "Judaism". And so it spells the end of any news caster, politician, or public figure who dares to ask inconvenient questions regarding Jews in Germany and around the world. Guess what, I work independently, I run my own business, and I may even have some Jewish investors among my client base, so far they did not run. I hence could not care less that some may dislike my questions or suggestions. But do let me know where I went off the tangent and I am happy to re-assess.

Glad I was able to get you to even more clearly articulate your true colors. Amazing that you spend a paragraph with this ridiculous assertion that Jews have unfairly taken over power in the United States, then have the gall to claim you "do not hold prejudice"! In your world, Asian Americans score higher on "aptitude tests" but Jews are over-represented at Goldman, therefore proof of a vast Jewish conspiracy. Wow.
As an American (which BTW you are not I think?), I don't care how many leaders in a given industry are Jewish. As an educated human, I know better than to jump to the conclusion that the number of people in an industry of a given race=conspiracy. If you're going to make a crazy racist assertion that there is some Jewish conspiracy to wield the levers of power in the U.S. the onus is on you to justify that it exists, not the 99% of us who aren't anti-semitic to justify that it doesn't. (I believe a giant spaghetti monster controls us all and lives somewhere outside the Kuiper Belt, you have prove that I'm wrong and if you can't I'm right) Just claiming that "most everyone in American high finance, regulation, private equity, investment bank that ever set foot into Goldman and rose through the ranks is Jew" does not justify your position. Not only isn't it even close to accurate (spare us the list of prominent Jews please), but even if it was you make an completely unsupported logical leap from there to "Jewish conspiracy to control the world". Take your small miserable life elsewhere, it's not welcome here.
a) Jews are relatively over represented in managerial or leadership positions in every sector and industry group. At least paraphrase me correctly, not just those who worked at Goldman. So far I do not see any conspiracy, I stated mere facts.
b) I asked questions, I did not make any assumptions of conspiracy. It could be nepotism, or a vast amount of other, different reasons, but fact remains that Jews are relatively overrrepresented in American positions of power in business, legal, administrative, and regulation. Also another fact is that American Jews indeed scored lower than other minority groups. And they certainly do not work harder than other minority groups. So, something's gotta give...I did not ask you to prove anything, I asked you a simple question. And it seems that you refuse to share your thoughts on the seemingly bizarre divergence between above stated facts.
c) It is absolutely accurate. Take a look at where Goldman alumni end up who are of Jewish ethnicity. It could not be more apparent.
d) I never claimed Jews control the world, certainly they do not control many Central European countries, nor China, Japan, or many other nations. But I think it would be fair to state that power in the United States is concentrated and centralized in Jewish hands. Not sure what this has to do with conspiracy. Numbers are numbers, how do you want to doctor those?

It's fortunate to some ET doesn't charge for posting lies and BS, Voly must have already forgotten one of his dozens of posts in the same vein. The guy is full of prejudice and hatred , not only towards jews btw :
"Maybe thats just me but I prefer communism over 321,000,000 American idiots and 500,000 slick and greedy Jews who suck the life blood out of the rest."

Point out where in my posts in this thread I have been prejudiced. For once you can perhaps try to be honest.
Where one crawls out of the dugouts , the other is not far. I see you two are following me everywhere. All that because you cannot tolerate the truth?
Good night my two special friends.
