Trump nominates cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins as SEC chair
President-elect Donald Trump says he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“He believes in the promise of robust, innovative capital markets that are responsive to the needs of Investors, & that provide capital to make our Economy the best in the World. He also recognizes that digital assets & other innovations are crucial to Making America Greater than Ever Before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Gutting the enforcement division, you say? Go ahead, rich people, crime all you want! Nobody’s going to be watching!
Trevor Noah was right. Trump really does want to be dictator of a third-world kleptocracy.
Guess we're gonna see more Trump trading cards.
I don’t care what you think, I like my Diaper Don NFT that cost me two years savings. It’s the epitome of what America has become.
Could have just written "he will make me money".
At least he already knows where the office is.
a former SEC commissioner
Eh, that's a pretty vanilla pick. Like, not another Gaetz.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_S._Atkins
He was a Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008
From 1990 to 1994, Atkins served on the staff of two former chairmen of the SEC, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt.
He was in a closely-associated spot under Bush Senior, Clinton, and Bush Junior administrations.
Sure, he's not Sam Bankman Fried. That said he headed the SEC during a deregulatory period that finished with the 2007-8 crisis. And he advocates for capital markets deregulation today.
Proof that there is always more barrel to scrape.
Who wrote that quote? I'm pretty sure it wasn't ol' dopey don.
i can't believe he did that this is an outrage
