Nope, nope and nope. It was Kathryn Wylde, a board member of the New York Federal Reserve whose job is to represent the *public* in financial matters.1
Does that sound like a public advocate? Wylde is currently standing in the way of an investigation by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that would put Bank of America and other major financial firms under the magnifying glass for mortgage fraud. Finally we could see criminal prosecutions of those responsible for the market meltdown.
Enough is Enough! Join us in signing an emergency letter to Ms. Wylde, demanding that she step down.

Gentiva loses age-discrimination suit
Excerpt:
In January 2001, Gentiva lost an Ohio-based age-discrimination suit filed in 1998 against the company's former parent company. Because Gentiva had indemnified their former parent company as part of a previous split-off from the parent company, an Ohio jury levied damages of $30m against Gentiva. A report at the time quoted Gentiva vice president Michael Johns as saying, "We are not pleased - and in fact, are shocked - at the size of the jury verdict" [3]; the case was subsequently settled for an undisclosed sum [4].Personnel

"Mr. Cherkasky was named chief of Kroll's New York Office in 1995, and chief of its North American Region in 1996. In 1997, he was promoted to chief operating officer and executive managing director. He was named president and chief operating officer of Kroll Associates in December 1997, when the firm merged with O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt.
