Exposing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (@FDICgov). We report on FDIC’s violations of laws, rules, regulations, mismanagement and abuse of authority.fdic.exposed Washington, DCJoined July 2023
Another sort of funny anecdote from the report.
The FDIC hired a contractor to provide "global advisory services." The contractor would get, among other fees, a fee based on the "sales price" for First Republic Bank. But "sales price" wasn't clearly defined, so naturally...
Not really a bombshell report - it was a crisis, the FDIC skipped a few steps in its contracting processes, and will try to do better next time. I think the below screenshot is fairly representative.

FDIC 2025 risk review, which focuses on market risk and credit risk (incl net interest margin, liquidity, funding/deposits, consumer lending) makes *ZERO* mention of: fintech, crypto/blockchain, stablecoins, or AI.
The Random Man asks why the FDIC Chairman can’t be @JelenaMcW. The best FDIC Chairman in my lifetime Jelena McWilliams was railroaded out of the job in a politically engineered back-stabbing coup. She’s tanned, rested, and ready.

Parties in litigation regularly ask for reasonable extensions to deadlines--fine. But @FDICgov just filed 13 pages in our FOIA suit asking the Court for another 16 days to decide whether to ask us for ... even more delay. As laid out in our response, this is absurd.
Banks can now engage in crypto-related [and digital asset] activities without receiving prior FDIC approval, so long as they "adequately manage risks" and "conduct activities in a safe and sound manner"; in accordance with new guidance--FIL-7-2025.
