1. He was supposed to have been their regulator |
|
as head of the NY Fed... it is on his watch that all these frauds occurred.
But worse than that he intervened on their behalf more than once to help them get away with it and maximize the proceeds of their crimes.
I have no doubt that he is getting something through back channels to compensate for the many billions he helped them steal.

2. Read the other thread about AIG in general discussion. |
|
He mentions some of the stuff that pulls this all together.
Geither helped AIG use their Govt. money to buy a sh*t sandwich from GS at an inflated price - even more than GS was asking for it.

3. Geithner has been in Public Service since graduating from College. |
|
He served in the Treasury during Clinton Adm. He was on the the NY Fed as his most recent job.
He has never worked for any of the Banks.
