Resignations at The U.S. SEC Increases Pressure on Controversial Chair Gary Gensler!
The U.S. regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is in difficult waters. Most recently, Chair Gary Gensler publicly expressed his confidence in the regulator on X. However, this comment has caused even more unrest and fueled speculation about Gensler's resignation. Most recently, the two SEC lawyers, Michael Welsh and Joseph Watkins, have resigned following a district court's severe reprimand of the agency for "gross abuse" of power.
