Two names floated here, one of whom (Barofsky) believes fraud is a crime, the other who's already with the S.E.C.

'Walter's husband, Ronald A. Stern, serves as the chief anti-trust attorney for General Electric Co., making him the Washington-based vice president and senior competition counsel for the largest diversied financial company in the U.S.'

EXCERPT:
"David Kotz was fucking that lady," Noelle Maloney said of Ponzi victim Dr. Gay. This was after Kotz and Maloney had stained a makeshift bedspread of CDO files while copulating on a conference table.
Maloney had just replaced Kotz as Inspector General of the S.E.C., and Mary Schapiro, 34 29 40, fretted over the transition.
The Chairwoman slapped Kotz's head from between her slickened thighs.
"Jesus, David, not now," she barked. "This wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't fucked up Bernie's [Madoff's] case so many times."
"Fuck you, Mary, the guy confessed! Who the hell admits guilt to the payola DOJ?"

M-A-D-O-F-F!
All else is just noise. New Chairman(woman), educational backgrounds and experience, # of actions, "engagements," etc...just noise...there were, are and will be many Harvard lawyers running around the SEC, while it exists, but so what.
M-A-D-O-F-F!
The SEC was given ole Bernie on a platter not once, but 3 (T-H-R-E-E!) times by an obscure, somewhat nutty Greek math geek working for a reputable Boston-based research firm. What did the SEC Harvard lawyers do? Close the file(s)! Why? if you believe them, it was because of miscommunication/jealousy between tyhe NYC and Boston offices. Really!?
M-A-D-O-F-F!
The SEC = N-O-I-S-E! It's nothing but Page 6 crap that our illiterate populace finds somewhat titillating...
