  Exactly right. The OCC has a long track record of being overly beholden to the banks it is tasked with regulating. @STOmarova has been an outspoken critic of the way banks have been allowed into domain after domain, from derivatives to commodities. This is a sea change. https://t…

  Seeing a lot of crypto guys threatening to turn fash at the prospect of regulation. To them I say relax, you just need to pivot from a Ponzi scheme to tax arbitrage like the rest of Wall Street. https://twitter.com/...

  “Saule Omarova, who has said she wants to ‘end banking as we know it,’ will be tapped to run the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as soon as this week.” https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  Wow. Confirming her would be an utter disaster for everyone except the fed gov. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  It's hard to overstate the volume of the message that would be sent to Wall Street and crypto-world by this expected nomination of professor Saule Omarova as one of the financial sector's most important overseers. @STOmarova https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @bpolitics

  You might ask: aren't you ok with Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, given how good the rest of @POTUS Wall Street oversight appointments have been? I say: why would @POTUS hinder all of his great appointees with a weak leader at the most important financial regulator? https://twitter.c…

  This is excellent news. I have learned so much from @STOmarova about how financial institutions - public, private, and in-between - can be leveraged to tackle big challenges like decarbonization, inequality, and more. https://twitter.com/...

  A huge deal for climate-minded financial regulation: https://twitter.com/...

• @tphillips Todd Phillips on x

  I highly recommend folks read @STOmarova's article “The Quiet Metamorphosis,” on how the OCC changed the law allowing banks to use derivatives. She understands not only banking but the history of banking. And that's unbelievably important. https://twitter.com/...

  .@JoeBiden is going for broke in his quest to make personal liberty a thing of the past. His reported nominee to run the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency should concern every American who wants less gov't intrusion in their lives. READ MORE: https://www.bloomberg.com/...…
