As we close out our 13th season of EJB Talks, Dean Stuart Shapiro asks Public Policy Program Director, Professor Julia Rubin, about why New Jersey has long been considered one of the most politically corrupt states. She explains how a consistent pattern of high-profile cases have contributed to this perception, citing the influence of the state's longtime political machines and the now-abolished “county line” primary ballot that heavily favored party-backed candidates as primary examples. Julia then walks us through how years of research, lawsuits, and the more recent Menendez scandal have culminated in a major reform that replaced the county line with fairer office-block ballots, leading to more competitive races, higher voter turnout, and a growing number of reform-minded legislators. She also discusses  how recent rollbacks and attempted rollbacks to some of NJ's transparency and accountability laws, including OPRA and the work of the state Comptroller's office, show the fight for accountable government in New Jersey is still very much ongoing. As part of this episode, we encourage you to visit the podcast page on our website, where we include links to the articles and legislation being discussed. We'll see you in 2026!

In today’s BlockHash Morning Brief, we break down fresh signals from the SEC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) pointing toward a more coordinated U.S. framework for crypto, banking, and digital asset infrastructure. While not deregulation, this shift toward standardization could unlock institutional participation and reduce long-standing uncertainty. We also dive into the AI profit debate now dominating Wall Street. After weeks of volatility, analysts and tech leaders are reframing AI as a long-term infrastructure investment rather than a short-term earnings driver. That recalibration is forcing markets to reprice risk across tech, crypto, and emerging innovation. Plus, we explore how AI governance, safety standards, and chip strategy are becoming central policy priorities in Washington — signaling that AI is now being treated as critical infrastructure, not just software. In this episode:• What SEC & OCC alignment means for U.S. crypto markets• Why regulatory clarity matters more than “friendly” rules• The AI profit reality check hitting tech stocks• How markets are repricing risk across equities and crypto• Why crypto continues to trade like a high-beta tech asset• What builders and investors should watch next (0:00) Intro(0:18) SEC & OCC coordinating on Crypto(1:31) AI leaders push back on profit panic(2:25) AI regulation is trending(3:05) Macro & equities snapshot(3:44) Crypto & emerging tech market(5:24) What to watch for this week

Interview recorded - 2nd of December, 2025On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Bill Moreland. Bill is the founder of Bankregdata.During our conversation we spoke about Bills thoughts on the credit markets, regulatory shift, risk in banks, private credit risks, large bank blowup and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction1:18 - Overview of credit markets7:27 - Regulatory shift24:38 - What does this mean?32:53 - Private credit44:48 - Large bank blowup53:33 - One message to takeaway?Bill Moreland is a partner in a company/website called BankRegData.com. The Austin, Texas company BankRegData started in 2010 to provide a web aggregated Federal Depository Insurance Company (FDIC) insured Bank Quarterly Call Report data and additionally offer a narrative/interpretation on the bank book dynamics (see 2016 Q4 Asset Review or Winners & Losers: Citigroup). Since 2012 this data is taken from the FFIEC Central Data Repository. FFIEC is the acronym for the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council. The FFIEC is an interagency standards committee across five banking regulators including: Federal Reserve Board of Governors , Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (note the Securities Exchange Commission is not listed as one of the regulators in the FFIEC.). What BankRegData does is aggregate, and to some degree normalize, the Quarterly Call Report Data. BankRegData will get you (to a good first approximation) the distribution of securities ( deposits, mortgages, credit card accounts, loans, and tradable securities) at a quarterly aggregation level across the Banking Book of the major Bank Holding Companies.Bill Moreland - Website - https://www.bankregdata.com/main.aspX - https://x.com/BankRegDataLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-moreland-097586/WTFinance -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes -https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-fatseas-761066103/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

The former bank regulator who invented deposit networks just revealed why SVB's collapse was inevitable—and why the solution that could have saved them is finally being rebuilt. Gene Ludwig ran the OCC during the Clinton administration, created a half-trillion-dollar market solving a problem his Aunt Betty faced riding buses between banks, then watched his invention fail to save Silicon Valley Bank because the technology, economics, and incentives were fundamentally broken. Now he's partnered with Paolo and ModernFi to build what could become America's eighth systemically important financial utility: a bank-owned consortium that's signing 25 institutions per week and racing to protect the 4.8 trillion in uninsured deposits that make the next crisis inevitable. Resources:Follow Gene on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gene-ludwig/Follow Paolo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolombertolotti/Follow David on X: https://x.com/dhaber Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode, Wharton FinTech's Abhi Chadha sits down with Michele Alt, Co-Founder of The Klaros Group and former OCC regulator, to unpack the evolving relationship between fintechs and the U.S. banking system. Michele shares her insights from two decades at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and her current work helping non-banks pursue bank charters. They discuss the shifting regulatory climate across administrations - from the OCC's early fintech charter attempts, to the Biden-era freeze, and now a renewed openness under Trump 2.0. Michele explains the nuances of charter types like industrial loan companies (ILCs) and national trust banks. The conversation explores: - The history and future of fintech chartering - Differences among OCC, FDIC, and Fed oversight - How U.S. fintech regulation compares to Europe and the U.K. - Challenges foreign fintechs face when entering the U.S. market - How Michele's OCC experience helps startups navigate complex regulatory processes Michele also shares her perspective on the cyclical nature of financial regulation - from deregulatory “sugar highs” to inevitable crackdowns - and offers advice for those eager to build a career in fintech regulation and compliance.

Federal regulators say the financial sector — particularly big banks — failed to act on obvious red flags in the case of Jeffrey Epstein's financial network, and now they're pointing fingers at each other. Agencies like the U.S. Treasury Department and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency assert that banks should have detected and reported Epstein's suspicious transactions years ago and triggered law-enforcement action. Meanwhile, some banks claim they did file reports or raise internal alarms but regulators ignored or delayed follow-up investigations, essentially accusing federal agencies of failing to enforce or respond to the alerts.On the flip side, financial institutions argue they were operating under murky guidance and rely on regulators to interpret complex anti-money-laundering laws — now they say the feds didn't act promptly or clearly once files were submitted. This blame-game has escalated as lawsuits proliferate: banks claim regulators pushed responsibility back onto them, while regulators argue that banks willfully overlooked their compliance duties and expect bail-outs or leniency rather than accountability. The result is a stalemate where neither side wants to claim full fault, and victims of Epstein's crimes are still waiting for clarity and justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JPMorgan Flagged Epstein Suspicions in 2002, Years Earlier Than KnownBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Washington, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially urged the nation's top banking regulators — the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) — to launch public and private investigations into Staley's conduct while he was at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and later Barclays PLC. Warren's letter alleges that Staley helped shield Epstein's access to the banking system by intervening when internal red flags about Epstein's transactions were raised and that despite the banks settling for large sums in sister cases, Staley has so far avoided U.S. accountabilityAt the same time, U.S. lawsuits are advancing against Barclays and Staley over alleged investor mis-representation. A judge in Los Angeles denied Staley's request to dismiss a class-action claim that the bank and Staley misled investors about the true nature of his ties to Epstein after his arrest in 2019. The U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) earlier found that Staley misled regulators by approving a letter stating his relationship with Epstein was not “close,” whereas email evidence showed they were in contact well beyond what the letter claimed.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Raj Goyle is running for Comptroller of New York state, and he wants your support. He's got mine because I think Raj is what America is all about. A first-generation Indian-American, Duke undergrad and Harvard Law grad, Raj was the co-founder of Bodhala, a legal spend analytics and management platform which he and team sold to Onit. As the leader of Phone Free New York, Raj led a bi-partisan effort to get phones out of the classroom across New York state. And now he wants to take his immense talent and experience to Albany for the most important position (Comptroller!) you've never thought about. As you'll hear, there's plenty that Raj and I disagree about. But he's the kind of person we need more of in government: a smart, driven leader who wants to make government work for citizens. Among lots of other things, Raj and I discuss: -Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayoral candidate whom Raj supports and I DO NOT -What a comptroller does -Money, happiness, and public service -What it was like for his parents–both doctors–to emigrate to the U.S. -How Jimmy Carter helped shaped his belief in ethical capitalism and an accountable government AI's impact on the economy and what we can do about it ✍️Please rate my podcast (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️

This dialogue sets the foundation for deeper analysis of legal risks and constitutional challenges, which will be explored in the upcoming second part of the series. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

In this episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast, Chris Willis is joined by Lori Sommerfield and James Stevens to delve into the implications of President Trump's Executive Order 14331, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans." This order aims to eliminate politicized or unlawful de-banking practices by prohibiting financial institutions from denying access to banking services based on political, religious, or ideological beliefs. The trio discusses the historical context of de-banking, tracing its roots back to the Obama-era Operation Choke Point, and explores the current regulatory landscape shaped by the executive order. They analyze the directives issued to federal agencies, including the Small Business Administration and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the potential risks and challenges facing financial institutions. Tune in to understand how this regulatory push will likely impact the banking industry and what steps institutions can take now to mitigate risks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode Notes My guests include County Commissioner Erika Sugarmon. First, they vote to change the election cycle of the school board only to have the Mayor veto it. Will there be an override? Also, the state Comptroller has not approved the Shelby County budget so what could that mean? I ask and she responds. Natalie McKinney was elected to the school board in 2024 to a four year term. That was recently changed by the Shelby County Commission to a reelection in 2026 only to be vetoed by Mayor Harris. She was also recently elected by her peers to be the next board chair. She tells me what the priorities will be moving forward. State Representative Torrey Harris drops in to share his thoughts on the Federal incursion into our city, if it was necessary and what he has heard about the reaction from residents. That and more both on air and online Monday, 6 pm on 91.7 FM WYXR. Also, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. It's time to talk!

The Government's lack of spending on energy aid has been slammed amid claims that too many Clare people are struggling to foot bills. It follows a report from the Comptroller and Auditor General which shows that just €3.9 million out of a €190 million fund set up to support consumers dealing with spiking energy costs has been paid out. Energia, meanwhile has become the latest company to announce price hikes of between 10% and 12%. Clare Aontú Rep June Dillon believes the fund needs to be used now.

In Episode 438 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Charles Calomiris, former Chief Economist at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, about his forthcoming paper “How Stablecoins Will Transform Banking,” which is based on a presentation he delivered at the Hoover Institution's annual monetary policy conference this past May. Demetri and Charles spend the first hour of their conversation laying out what stablecoins are and why Calomiris believes they are poised to transform our standard units of account through a revolution in real-time payments and a wholesale reinvention of the banking system, monetary policy, and the role of the dollar internationally. They discuss the significance of the recently signed “Genius Act,” explore the importance of bank charter modernization, and consider the broad public benefits of separating loans from deposits—ranging from faster, programmable settlement and greater competition in financial services to a reduction of systemic risk in areas where bank lending has become increasingly overconcentrated. The second hour is devoted to exploring some of the most important short- and long-term implications of stablecoin adoption, including: (1) Antitrust concerns over natural monopolies and network effects in stablecoin payment rails. (2) Near-term boost to demand for U.S. government debt, including the potential issuance of tokenized bills for gross real-time settlement. (3) Longer-term prospect of moving away from the dollar as the primary unit of account toward consumer bundles tied to assets, goods, and services that better reflect people's spending patterns—along with the implications for monetary policy, seigniorage, capital flows, and the preservation of purchasing power in these new currencies.

Under the theme of Block the Bombs, Break the Bonds, Palestinian Rights groups on Friday September 5, attended the Columbia County Democratic Party picnic to confront Cong. Josh Riley and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli over their support for the genocide in Gaza. They interrupted Riley when he was speaking, prompting DiNapoli to decide not to speak after spending several hours waiting. The protestors then slow walked DiNapoli out of the site, both as he walked surrounded by security to his car and then as he was slowly driven away. Riley recently went to Israel on an AIPAC junket while DiNapoli has continued to invest more than $350 million of the state pension funds in Israeli bonds. Before the many speeches started, we talked with Susan Davies and Jim McCabe of Columbia County for Palestine; and Eyad Alkarubi from the Palestinian Rights Committee. After the Palestinian protests, we talked with Karen Frishkoff of Citizens Climate Lobby. Our coverage concludes with a short interview with Jackie Salvatore, who is seeking to become the first African American woman county sheriff in the state.

Plus, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is seeking a fifth term and faces a Democratic primary challenge from Drew Warshaw, who says the office should do more to address affordability. WNYC's Jimmy Vielkind joins us to explain.
