Publications list

The long list of publications, while admirable, needs pruning. Only those articles with links to free online access should be listed.Bjhillis (talk) 22:48, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That long list of publications should instead be limited to those with online links.Bjhillis (talk) 02:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found links to 7 online articles; that's representative of his views; the remaining articles are not online and should be pruned from the list.Bjhillis (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Marquardtika: Saw your edits to the publications list. Still need to cut down the list to those with online links.19:14, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CFTC

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Heath Tarbert. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Citadel Securities and Heath Tarbert, I’m requesting the addition of the highlighted text below to the Concerns about conflicts of interest & the "revolving door" section for added context representative of the reporting around Tarbert’s move to Citadel Securities.

Tarbert's move to Citadel Securities, the market maker owned by Kenneth C. Griffin, just 27 days after resigning his post as Commissioner of the CFTC was criticized by Better Markets, “Wall Street’s leading antagonist in the regulatory arena.”^[1] In response to the appointment, Better Markets said, "This is just the latest regrettable example of a senior government official selling out his public service to big finance. This corruption disgusts the American people and Congress should outlaw it.”^[2]^[3]^[4]

However, Law360 noted that while at the CFTC, "Tarbert presided over the agency's record-breaking enforcement activity during the 2020 fiscal year and oversaw a regulatory agenda that ran on the theme of bolstering investor protections under existing laws while also advocating for fresh regulatory guidance for digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Among other achievements, he presided over the finishing touches on the so-called Volcker Rule's proprietary trading ban and closed what he called a ‘loophole’ that allowed ‘bad actors’ to manage people's money."^[5]

In addition, The American Prospect article published January 13, 2021, cited below and used as a current citation in this section, was published months before Tarbert’s move to Citadel Securities and is therefore irrelevant to the content it is cited after. I’m requesting the removal of that citation.
