In a spectacle most diverting, on a day when the sun deigned to shine upon the Senate Banking Committee, Mr. Paul Atkins, a gentleman once of the SEC, and now nominated to its head, found himself quite unexpectedly under the sharp tongue of the esteemed Senator from Massachusetts, Miss Elizabeth Warren.
Miss Warren, whose aversion to all things crypto is well known to the most casual of observers, could not resist in reminding Mr. Atkins of his past transgressions—nay, his votes to unleash the very hounds of financial ruin upon Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns. “He has a remarkable talent for misjudgment,” she quipped, with a wry smile that could chill the blood.
The good Senator also took great pains to highlight Mr. Atkins’ “astounding” conflicts of interest, which one might say are as vast as the ocean is deep. It has come to light, thanks to the ever-vigilant Fortune, that Mr. Atkins possesses a treasure trove of crypto-linked assets worth nearly six million pounds! And let us not forget his illustrious position on the board of that most curious of firms, Securitize—a venture that would make even the most seasoned speculator blush. Yet, these crypto-concerns are but a drop in his vast financial ocean. 😲
Amidst this storm of words, certain gentlemen of the Republican persuasion, Senators Moreno and Scott, took it upon themselves to cast aspersions upon the previous SEC Chair, Mr. Gary Gensler, with a fervor that would not be misplaced at a fox hunt.
It must be said, however, that Mr. Atkins’ confirmation seems as certain as the sunrise. Mr. John Reed Stark, a man of some import at the SEC, has pronounced him an “amazing choice” to lead the regulatory charge. Mr. Atkins himself has vowed to provide “a firm regulatory foundation” for crypto, which one can only hope will be as solid as the British pound. 🤑
