it is _so hard_ to do things in the right ways :(
so hard !! ARGH !! Argh. it's
really hard and I don't know what to do about how hard it is!!!

here's a theory:
- given we are super suggestible, with the right suggestion our 'garbage'
part that makes us do bad things would relax
- if we kept this up, it would relax more and more and then we could do
things the right way more !
i dunno :(
but the idea of finding a therapist and telling this to them has been
building a little.

i have talked with two hypnotherapists!
the first one i saw a few times before bailing and it being super hard to
return
the second one i spoke with in an intro videochat and scheduled an
appointment but then bailed and missed the appointment, which is confusing
i am no in a different state from both of them, 1k or so miles away 

maybe i should find a good video therapist

but if my mind control is from computers, how will i get better if i keep
using them? especially the same ones 
but i suspect that mind control has goals _other_ than trashing my brain.
if we can reduce the brain-trashing influence, then maybe i can do things
like leave-the-computer-with-plans-of-recovering, stuff like that [unsure!]

Mike Johnson, “Champion of the Fossil Fuel Industry” and Climate Change Denier Elected as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2023/10/mike-johnson-champion-of-the-fossil-fuel-industry-and-climate-change-denier-elected-as-speaker-of-the-united-states-house-of-representatives/


By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 26, 2023 ~

Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana, the New Speaker of the House of
Representatives
Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana, the New Speaker of the House

Most people in America have never heard of the newly elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana.
Billionaire Charles Koch, the fossil fuel kingpin and self-anointed head of
the right-wing political money machine, probably likes it that way.

Koch is likely hoping that Americans will just breathe a sigh of relief
that the House of Representatives finally has a leader and not look any
deeper into who was handed the reins.

According to OpenSecrets.org, the nonprofit watchdog of campaign money, the
largest industry supporting Johnson since his first federal campaign in
2015 is the oil and gas industry, which has infused $338,000 into Johnson’s
campaign coffers. Of that amount, $30,000 came from the Koch Industries
PAC, where Charles Koch has sat as the Chairman and CEO for 56 years.

Within hours of the news that Johnson was the new House Speaker, the Sierra
Club released this statement:

“Since he first launched his House campaign in 2015, Johnson has received
more money tied to the oil and gas industry than any other industry. At the
same time, Johnson has a long track record of downplaying and being
dismissive of the climate crisis. In 2017, Johnson remarked, ‘The climate
is changing, but the question is, is it being caused by natural cycles over
the span of the Earth’s history? Or is it changing because we drive SUVs? I
don’t believe in the latter. I don’t think that’s the primary driver.’

“Additionally, Johnson has worked repeatedly to undermine the Endangered
Species Act and weaken protections for those species covered by it.”

Nonprofits funded by Charles Koch and family-related trusts have also been
behind much of the climate denial propaganda. In 2012, the New York Times
published documents which had been leaked from The Heartland Institute. The
documents showed that the group was planning a tailored curriculum for high
schools to spread skepticism about climate change. The documents also
showed that the Charles Koch Foundation had contributed $25,000 in 2011 and
was anticipated to contribute $200,000 in 2012 to the Heartland Institute.

The Heartland Institute is a climate science denier that has received more
than $26 million from two Koch-related groups, Donors Capital Fund and
Donors Trust, according to the Conservative Transparency Project using
publicly available 990 IRS tax filings.

Charles Koch is now effectively functioning as a puppet master in
Washington, pulling levers here and there and everywhere. As we wrote
previously:

“Imagine a country that allows a private fossil fuels conglomerate (or its
billionaire boss, Charles Koch, the 17th richest person in the world
according to Forbes) to get away with the following:

Meet secretly with big political donors twice a year to plot a coordinated
strategy to put their chosen people in public office;

Meet at his private club with a sitting Supreme Court justice who will then
rule on key legislation that benefits his interests;

Fund an organization that then sluices money to the wife of the Supreme
Court Justice;

Run a highly sophisticated voter registration database, data mining and
get-out-the-vote operation called i360, in order to pack Congress with
people who will pursue an antiregulatory agenda;

Install dozens of its lawyers and operatives into the highest offices of
the federal government;

Run a sprawling, opaque trading operation that could potentially be raising
the prices of the fossil fuel products it sells via the futures market;

Continue to operate major factories in Russia, ignoring sanctions and a
murderous regime waging an unprovoked war on Ukraine, until a pressure
campaign forced it to say it will look for an exit strategy;

Fund a sprawling network of taxpayer-subsidized front groups to deny
climate change and foment hate;

Provide funding to groups involved in sending a mob to attack the seat of
government of its own home country on January 6;

Fund groups that use dark money and propaganda to put lifetime justices on
the highest court to pass legislation friendly to the fossil fuels
conglomerate.

Congressman Mike Johnson is also a propagandist for Donald Trump. Below is
a sampling of what he has posted on his Twitter (X) page in the past:

Tweets by Congressman Mike Johnson

Johnson and his wife, Kelly, who calls herself a “pastoral counselor,” have
their own podcast, “Truth Be Told,” which panders to the religious right

WeSuck: First Came the Hype; then Came Adam Neumann’s Self-Dealing; then Came the IPO Scandal; Now Comes the Bankruptcy

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2023/11/wesuck-first-came-the-hype-then-came-adam-neumanns-self-dealing-then-came-the-ipo-scandal-now-comes-the-bankruptcy/


By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: November 3, 2023 ~

Adam Neumann, Co-Founder of WeWork
Adam Neumann, Former Chairman and CEO of WeWork

WeWork, the flexible-office-space company, is the quintessential proof that
you can’t put lipstick on a pig forever. On Tuesday, the Wall Street
Journal reported that WeWork “ is planning to file for bankruptcy as early
as next week….”

On October 5, the credit ratings agency Fitch downgraded WeWork’s long-term
debt deeper into junk bond territory after WeWork elected to withhold
interest payments on its debt that were due Oct. 2. Year-to-date, the
publicly-traded stock of WeWork has lost 98 percent of its value. Its
shares were trading for pennies in August on the New York Stock Exchange
when the financial wizards at the company came up with the idea to do a
1-for-40 reverse stock split in early September to put a little lip gloss
on the pig. Yesterday, the stock closed at $1.11, which would mean that it
actually closed at just under 3 cents were it not for the 1-for-40 reverse
stock split.

The collapse in the share price in August came as a result of an 8-K filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8 which had included
these fatal words: “…as a result of the Company’s losses and projected cash
needs, combined with increased member churn and current liquidity levels,
substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.”

Back in 2019, venture capitalists had valued this company at $47 billion
and were hoping to cash out in a hot IPO. Yesterday, the company closed
with a market value of $59 million.

JPMorgan Securities LLC, a unit of five-felony-count JPMorgan Chase, which
is currently making headlines with its own scandal of being the financier
to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring for 15 years, was going to be the
lead underwriter of the 2019 IPO of WeWork, along with Goldman Sachs. But
then Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business began to
write viral posts on his blog. One of those posts stated that “bankers (JPM
and Goldman) stand to register $122 million in fees flinging feces at
retail investors visiting the unicorn zoo.”

After reading the 2019 IPO prospectus, Wall Street On Parade called
WeWork’s planned IPO “hype wrapped in subterfuge.” We said “It’s a
money-losing commercial real estate company attempting to pass itself off
as the Dalai Lama of office space rentals. The company has never made a
dime of profits and its losses spiraled to $900 million in the first half
of this year.”

To enhance its valuation, WeWork attempted to portray itself as
interconnected to technological breakthroughs. We explained in 2019:

“We’re also going to have to excise ‘the extensive technology
infrastructure’ because what they’re really talking about is not Silicon
Valley breakthrough technology but jazzing up drab offices with beer taps,
microbrewed coffee, fruit-infused water and WiFi – the latter of which you
can get for free in any Panera’s, along with a table and chair, for the
price of a cup of herbal tea.”

In 2019, WeWork was represented by a very sophisticated law firm, Skadden
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. The Wall Street bank underwriters were
represented by another sophisticated law firm, Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett.
Somehow, all of the Big Law masterminds paid big fees to scrutinize what
they were helping to bring to the public markets, failed to see the
self-dealing by WeWork’s then Chairman and CEO, Adam Neumann, as fatal to a
public listing of its stock.

Neumann owed his loyalty to the company under the past century of corporate
law. But, instead, he was buying up commercial real estate on his own
behalf and then leasing it back to WeWork. According to the IPO prospectus,
WeWork was leasing four properties from Neumann on which it owed “future
undiscounted minimum lease payments” of “approximately $236.6 million….”

Neumann also owned another six properties which WeWork might decide to buy
from him according to the prospectus. Neumann also had the right to
overrule the Board of Directors. According to the prospectus:

“Adam [Neumann] controls a majority of the Company’s voting power,
principally as a result of his beneficial ownership of our high-vote stock.
Since our high-vote stock carries twenty votes per share, Adam will have
the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the Company’s
stockholders for approval, including the election of the Company’s
directors. As a founder-led company, we believe that this voting structure
aligns our interests in creating shareholder value.”

That didn’t turn out to be true. As of this morning, Forbes puts Neumann’s
net worth at $2.2 billion. WeWork’s shareholders are sitting with an
effective 3-cent stock that is likely to be wiped out in bankruptcy.

How did Neumann get so rich 

A Big Picture Look at Our Major Wall Street Corruption Stories of 2023

[Gunnar Larson]

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2023/12/a-big-picture-look-at-our-major-wall-street-corruption-stories-of-2023/


By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 28, 2023 ~

The year 2023 will go down in U.S. banking history as the year in which the
fastest bank runs in U.S. history occurred, producing the second, third and
fourth largest banking failures in U.S. history in the span of seven weeks.
Losses of more than $32 billion from these failed banks hit the Federal
Deposit Insurance Fund (FDIC). Adding to the regulatory hubris, the largest
and riskiest bank in the U.S., JPMorgan Chase, was allowed by its
compromised regulators to become even riskier by gobbling up the failed
First Republic Bank while JPMorgan Chase got an unexplained $50 billion
5-year loan from the FDIC at an undisclosed interest rate to sweeten its
purchase of the failed bank.

And, what good is a banking crisis if the Fed can’t pony up yet another
bank bailout fund, this time with loans of up to an unprecedented one-year
term. (Under Federal Reserve statutory legislation, the Federal Reserve
Act, the Fed is supposed to make short-term loans. Ignoring statutory
legislation has never been a problem at the Fed, however.)

Less than two months after this unprecedented banking chaos occurred, Fed
Chair Jerome Powell was back to delivering his Alice in Wonderland
narrative to Congress that the “U.S. banking system is sound and
resilient.” (If it is so sound and resilient, why does it need so many
emergency bailout programs from the Fed?)

Attesting to the systemic nature of the banking crisis, the share prices of
the four largest banks in the U.S. began to sell off, with both Bank of
America and Wells Fargo losing over 20 percent in the span of three weeks.
(See chart below.)

Trading Performance of Four Largest U.S. Banks During Bank Run in March 2023

And, of course, one can’t have a real banking crisis without a Global
Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) blowing up. This time it was a Swiss
bank, Credit Suisse, with heavy ties to Wall Street mega banks, which might
help explain the above chart.

Below, we’ve broken down our major banking and Wall Street corruption
stories of 2023 into a few key categories, hoping that our readers will see
the overarching reality that corruption has reached unparalleled levels in
the U.S. banking system, fueled by its incestuous relationship with Wall
Street trading houses and Big Law, while the Criminal Division of the U.S.
Department of Justice and Big Media focus on keeping the American people in
the dark.

All Things Crypto

On August 1, 2022, Wall Street On Parade published this headline: Brace
Yourself for Federally-Insured Bank Failures Caused by Crypto. By March 8,
2023, the federally-insured crypto-involved bank, Silvergate, blew itself
up, and decided to voluntarily wind down. By March 10, 2023 another
crypto-involved bank, Signature Bank, had blown up and was put into FDIC
receivership. Two days later, the U.S. financial system found itself in the
full throes of major bank runs when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed into an
FDIC receivership. This collapse was followed by First Republic Bank on May
1.

The criminal trial of crypto kingpin Sam Bankman-Fried would likely be
considered by mainstream media as one of the key financial stories of 2023.
At Wall Street On Parade, however, where we take a big picture view of the
insidious machinations on Wall Street, it was the intimate involvement of
Wall Street’s go-to law firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, in the Bankman-Fried and
broader crypto matters that caught our eye. See for example:

Two Indicted Masterminds of the FTX Fraud Were Clients of Big Law Firm
Sullivan & Cromwell

Sam Bankman-Fried, BlockFi and Sullivan & Cromwell: A Viper’s Nest of
Conflicts and Intrigue

Bombshell Emails Raise Questions about What Sullivan & Cromwell Knew about
Fraud at Sam Bankman-Fried’s Crypto Firms

A Sam Bankman-Fried Company Loaned or Invested More than $1 Billion in
Clients of its Law Firm, Sullivan & Cromwell

Bankruptcy Law Expert, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Asks FTX Bankruptcy Judge
to Boot Sullivan & Cromwell from the Case

Going forward, please notice how rarely the mainstream business press is
willing to investigate or even mention a Big Law firm’s nefarious
relationships with Wall Street.

The year 2023 was also the year when federal banking regulators woke up to
the frightening reality of how fast bank runs can occur in the
digital/social media age. It took only a few social media posts to start an
avalanche of digital deposit withdrawals at Silicon Valley Bank. In the
span of just 24 hours, $42 billion in deposits had exited the

Boeing Co.’s 737 Max jet was supposed to be the safest plane in the world.
The perception is anything but.

Almost five years after the second fatal crash involving the plane prompted
a global grounding, and three years after the Federal Aviation
Administration said the Max could safely return to US skies, the aircraft
is still having troubling safety problems. Alaska Air Group Inc. grounded
its entire fleet of Boeing 737 Max-9 aircraft after a piece of the plane

gaping hole with views of the starry night where a panel should have been.

Subject: Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights
To: cypherpunks 


Dear Madam Acting Superintendent:

Reflecting this week, Ripple once again

shares concerning comments and approaches to respecting their Bitlicense
award. Even more, many experts are concerned

about MIA Coin and resulting NYCCoin disasters.

Madam Acting Superintendent, on August 4, 2020 as part of our Conditional
BitLicense application we submitted a draft of the Universal BitLicense
Declaration on Virtual Currency & Human Rights.

   - Today this memo is to re-new our obvious approach to virtual currency
   innovation in New York. Together under your leadership, we should be
   leading the world in the principles of modern cross-border
   BitLicense logic.
   - Madam Acting Superintendent, this type of stuff matters. The
   Deceleration aims to level the playing field for all and impacts the future
   of women and girls with respect to financial inclusion.
   - At the very least, New York and your office should be embracing such
   thoughtful approaches to support future generations and protect virtual
   currency from market manipulation. Madam Acting Superintendent, we implore
   that if some version of the Declaration was enacted in 2020, the world
   would be a better place today.

Kindly find a copy of the Universal BitLicense Declaration on Virtual
Currency & Human Rights

below. We will be in contact with your office this coming week to engage in
dialogue on the Declaration's feasibility forward.

Very respectfully yours,

Gunnar Larson


*WE THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK DETERMINED*

   - to pioneer noble advancement of BitLicence theory and regulation,
   whereas it is essential to safeguard virtual currency and its potential to
   galvanize international, economic and social advancement of all peoples, and
   - to ensure clarity, principally New York’s BitLicence being the
   preeminent institution with mandate of ensuring that virtual currency
   manipulation (of any sort) shall not burden the common global interest of
   humanity, and that human rights are protected in the jurisdiction of New
   York for all peoples

*AND FOR THESE ENDS*

   - to save succeeding generations from financial fraud and corruption,
   which in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to humanity, and
   - to reaffirm New York’s faith in fundamental human rights, in the
   dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women
   and of nations large and small, and
   - to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the
   obligations arising from BitLicence regulation and other sources of
   financial services law can be maintained, and
   - to promote larger social progress by leading global standards, given
   that New York remains the center of technological innovation and
   forward-looking virtual currency regulation

*HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS*

*Now, therefore this UNIVERSAL BITLICENSE DECLARATION ON VIRTUAL CURRENCY &
HUMAN RIGHTS as the common crypto standard of achievement for all peoples
and all nations, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive
to promote respect for human rights and personal freedoms by progressive
measures, national and international, to secure their universal and
effective recognition and observance of New York-based companies
accountable to a **universal **BitLicense **standard of virtual currency
regulation across all global territories of business, protecting all
peoples and all nations.*
*Article One*

   -

   Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in failed
   financial frameworks that have outraged the conscience of mankind, and
   -

   Whereas the foundational vision of BitLicense theory imagines a world in
   which human beings shall enjoy safe, reliable and regulated virtual
   currency tools and financial products, now proclaimed as the highest
   aspiration of the common people,

*Article Two*

   -

   Whereas ethical stewardship of virtual currency is inherent to the
   BitLicence mandate, the invention of blockchain, and virtual currency aimed
   to secure the equal and inalienable rights of all as foundation to
   financial freedom and economic prosperity, especially in the developing
   economies, and
   -

   BitLicense members pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with
   the state of New York, the promotion of universal respect for and
   observance of international human rights fundamental to the integrity of
   the BitLicense’s virtual currency

as
a matter for public  comment for NY-DFS' "Proposed Guidance on Character

The Bloomberg interview with Coinbase showed top journalistic integrity,
yet, Coinbase failed to mention any NY-DFS investigation or pending action.
The interview aired last December, before the 100M Coinbase settlement was
announced by NY-DFS concerning Coinbase's BitLicense compliance.

NY-DFS' approach to Coinbase and Goldman Sachs (who took Coinbase public)
share independent insider trading scenarios that could disrespect the
United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud Section and
Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section compliance programs.

We have collated 34 highlights that describe a corporate opportunity policy

kindly acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand our appeal seeking

We feel extra time for public comment is warranted to ensure that xNY.io -

A Jan. 6 Reckoning Matters Even if Outrage Has Waned

A Jan. 6 Reckoning Matters Even if Outrage Has Waned
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-01-06/on-jan-6-anniversary-republican-support-for-trump-and-rioters-is-up


This weekend marks three years since the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol,
and as Americans reflect on the shocking images and lies perpetrated from

The term "spam" as I've understood it is synonymous to "unsolicited commercial 
email" (UCE).

I think it's being used here instead as shorthand for "email messages I don't 
want to see." Or, "list subscribers who send too many messages."

If we had people who were sending UCE, I absolutely would ban them. 

Instead, what we seem to have is a few prolific posters that some other list 
members would rather not hear from. That's why I think it's reasonable to push 
those editorial choices to subscribers.

What's your evidence that Google has tagged the entire list as spam?

That is not what I've seen, or how I've characterized Gmail's failings to 
receive messages. I have access to another similar server from another 
organization with completely different lists, and it suffers the same thing. 
I've seen similar reports on the Internet from other mail administrators.

The basic problem is not the content or the volume of messages sent or the name 
or subject matter of the list, or the domain it's coming from. It's the volume 
of recipients.

At any time there are around 80 cypherpunks list subscribers with @gmail.com 
addresses. Google throttles receipt of those messages with complaints about too 
many duplicate message IDs or "an unusually high rate of sending."

As far as I've been able to determine, our configuration is conformant with 
Google's requirements. Only Google is throttling these messages - other servers 
with lots of cypherpunks subscribers like yahoo.com and protonmail.ch don't 
throttle.

This has all started fairly recently, as reported here and as my research has 
indicated... circa September 2023.

I presume Fastmail can filter particular incoming list sender's email addresses.

Sorry that I'm not seeing the problem with a subscriber technical solution.

As mentioned above, this has not been observed. And, the automated complaints 
from Google are not about the individual senders or the content: they are about 
the number of subscribers using their service.

Here's a message from the top of the mail queue right now:

I am hopeful that a forthcoming (circa April 2024) Ubuntu upgrade will 
facilitate moving the list to Mailman3. That has somewhat better controls, 
which might help. In particular, I'm wondering whether each recipient of a list 
message could get their own Message-ID. (That's a technical topic that might 
belong in a different discussion thread.)

Meanwhile, this discussion has inspired me to look for additional technical 
tweaks, and I am trying a few on our Postfix server.

Re: Mayor Eric Adams NYCCoin Touting

Dear Ms. Joseph Varlack:

Today’s memo is to kindly submit xNY.io - Bank.org's inquiry into Mayor
Eric Adams' promotion of NYCCoin.


   1.

   The federal securities laws are clear that any celebrity or individual
   who promotes digital assets must disclose the nature, source and amount of
   compensation they received in exchange for the promotion.
   2.

   As a matter of ethics, risk and compliance associated with digital asset
   innovation, xNY.io asks if NYCCoin promotion by the Mayor of New York City
   damaged the market for the xNY digital asset (by, for example, devaluing it
   through parody or sealed via embossed criticism).
   3.

   xNY.io - Bank.org concerns made above have evidentiary support to
   interlocking director and officer conflicts recognized by the Department of
   Justice as potential threats that stifle individual and corporate freedom.


Ms. Joseph Varlack, as a matter relating to working at one of the world's
most ethical companies, famous for risk management and corporate
governance, and as an internationally recognized Blockchain Scholar, I must
adhere to federal securities laws.


   -

   As such, I classify Mayor Adams as an individual who promoted the
   digital asset NYCCoin and must disclose the nature, scope, and amount of
   compensation associated.


A failure to disclose this information may violate the anti-touting
provisions of the federal securities laws. Mayor Adams' making these
endorsements may also be liable for potential violations of the anti-fraud
provisions of the federal securities laws, for participating in an
unregistered offer and sale of securities, and for acting as unregistered
brokers.

xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully requests the Office of the Mayor of New York
City to respond to this request by Wednesday March, 15 2023 by Noon EST.

Bill Dudley, Former Kingpin of Darkness at the New York Fed, Now Urges Transparency at the Fed

Bill Dudley, Former Kingpin of Darkness at the New York Fed, Now Urges
Transparency at the Fed

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: January 4, 2024 ~


William C. (Bill) Dudley, Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York

William (Bill) Dudley served as President of the New York Fed from 2009 to
2018. (He was previously an executive at Goldman Sachs.) During Dudley’s
tenure at the New York Fed, it secretly oversaw the largest and darkest
bailout of Wall Street mega banks in global banking history.

A Bloomberg News reporter, the late Mark Pittman, battled in court for
years to get the details of those bailouts released to the public. Today,
the former kingpin of darkness at the New York Fed, Bill Dudley, had the
audacity to pen an opinion column for Bloomberg News, urging – wait for it
– more transparency at the Fed.

The ironic title of Dudley’s column is (paywall): “If Only We Knew the
Problems Facing America’s Banks.” (We do. See Federal Agency Study
Contradicts Fed Chair: Finds Banking System Is Ripe for Another Crisis and
Remains “Fragile and Uncertain.”)

The hubris of Dudley’s reign at the New York Fed is perhaps only second to
Robert Kaplan’s reign at the Dallas Fed. (Kaplan also came from Goldman
Sachs.)

Let’s start with Carmen Segarra, a lawyer and former bank examiner at the
New York Fed, one of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks – but the only
one with two trading floors and a money spigot to Wall Street. Segarra
charged in a lawsuit filed in October 2013 that she was told to change her
negative examination of Goldman Sachs by colleagues, who also obstructed
and interfered with her investigation. According to her lawsuit, when she
refused to alter her findings, she was terminated in retaliation and
escorted from the New York Fed premises.

After having her case tossed by a federal Judge whose lawyer husband was
representing Goldman Sachs, Segarra turned over her 46 hours of secret tape
recordings on the matter to ProPublica’s Jake Bernstein and public radio’s
This American Life, creating a media frenzy.

In early 2012, as JPMorgan Chase was making risky bets with derivatives in
London, using deposits from its federally-insured bank in the U.S., its
Chairman and CEO, Jamie Dimon, was sitting on the Board of Directors at the
New York Fed. As Dimon’s bank was being investigated by the New York Fed,
Jamie Dimon continued to sit on its Board, serving out his two terms which
ended in late 2012. The derivatives debacle became infamously known as the
London Whale trades where JPMorgan admitted to losing $6.2 billion of its
bank depositors’ money.

But it wasn’t the New York Fed that released a transparent report on the
London Whale and the diabolical risk-taking with federally-insured
deposits, it was the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

A report in October of 2014 from the Federal Reserve’s Inspector General
indicated that the New York Fed was advised of potential trouble in the
Chief Investment Office at JPMorgan Chase on multiple occasions but failed
to conduct a comprehensive examination that might have alerted it at an
early stage to the wild gambles JPMorgan was making in derivatives with
depositors’ money, leading to the London Whale scandal and $6.2 billion in
losses.

While the New York Fed was “supervising” JPMorgan, Bill Dudley was serving
as the President of the New York Fed and his wife, Ann Darby, a former Vice
President at JPMorgan, was receiving approximately $190,000 per year in
deferred compensation from JPMorgan – an amount she was slated to receive
until 2021 according to financial disclosure forms.

According to the New York Fed’s web site, its “employees are subject to the
same conflict of interest statute that applies to federal government
employees (18 U.S.C. Section 208).” Under that statute, a spouse’s
conflicts become the conflicts of the employee.

As far as we can recall, Dudley is the only Fed Bank President to have been
put through a public shaming before a U.S. Senate Banking Subcommittee. In
November 2014, the Senate Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and
Consumer Protection called Dudley to testify following the Segarra
revelations.

During the hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren drilled down to just how
Dudley saw his role as a regulator. In a revealing exchange, Dudley made it
clear that he didn’t interpret his role as a cop on the beat, calling his
job “more of a fire warden” to make sure the banking institutions are run
well so that they’re not going to catch on fire and burn down.

Warren shot back: “But you don’t think you should be doing any
investigation; you should wait and see if it jumps in front of you.” Warren
also brought out the fact that once the New York Fed learned that Goldman
Sachs had fashioned a deal for the Spanish bank, Banco Santander, which a
