Christopher Cox

had actually destroyed 9,000 documents over 20 years from various high profile investigations. That included documents involving Bernie Madoff, Goldman Sachs’ credit default swaps with AIG, fraud cases against Bank of America, Wells Fargo, among others. These kinds of issues should be expected considering some of the choices for leading this agency. For instance, George W. Bush’s appointment for the chairman of the SEC was Chris Cox, a longtime Republican Congressman with a strong record supporting deregulation. In fact, he was one of the sponsors of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which made it more difficult to sue investment firms involved in fraud. Cox even served as a defense attorney for First Pension Corp, which operated a $130 million Ponzi scheme. Cox continued his pursuit of deregulation at the SEC. He literally had a policy in place that allowed investment banks to decide whether they wanted their derivatives trades to be monitored by the SEC. Such a suggestion would be funny if it hadn’t actually happened. Although, Cox admitted afterward that “(the financial crisis) made it abundantly clear that voluntary regulation does not work.” One of the dominant factors that hinders quality work from the SEC is the conflict of interest from the revolving door with the private sector. Banking regulators have incentives to tread lightly in return for lucrative positions in the banking industry after they leave the SEC. And this isn’t some issue involving a…

In the poem of, “The Seafarer,” the man describes the fear of being alone,…
