AFR sent a letter to the Senate Banking Committee warning that Kevin Warsh is unfit to serve in this role and cites the following as disqualifying factors: his failure to effectively assess or rein in the dangerous financial activities that caused the 2008 financial crisis during his time as a Fed Governor; his opposition to strong banking supervision and regulation, including Dodd-Frank Act reforms; and his vast financial holdings–including stakes in crypto companies and other financial institutions–and the opaque nature in which they were disclosed to Congress.
