  How is a rational person supposed to respond to this? The audacity is limitless. Game over.

  Are you ^*&%$'ing kidding me?! Just when I thought the SEC couldn't get any more stupid, inept and corrupt.
  
  When Reagan appointed Regan (former Merrill CEO) as Treasurer the private to Govt line of ethics was crossed, and a new precedent was established. Now the line has been completely vaporized and a full circle Govt to financial sector ponzi has become policy.

  That's one way to make sure that $3.45T stays in money market accounts. Confidence in the market's integrity continues to disintegrate.
  
  I'm sure Adam is a nice enough lad, well positioned for years of service for his handlers in the Bankers without Borders (or consciences) club.

  OK, so the average pay for a GS employee fell this year to a paultry $680K or so? Our new SEC COO a ran department there, so his pay could have been concievable higher. We should all be very thankful he's put those capitalistic tendencies behind him and assumed a position of public servitude for all of us at a cost far less than the market rate as I'm sure our pay czar will attest to. Thank you Adam.

  Boxed Merlot, are you... *gasp*... Adam Storch???
  
  In all seriousness, I agree with you. Goldman attracts and produces the best in the biz, so at least the SEC is moving in the right direction by hiring industry folk instead of more unlearned lawyers. I wonder what Adam is getting paid... and if it's made public...
