Talk:Heath Tarbert

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)

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

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)

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)

CFTC
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.” 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.”


 * 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."

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.

 * , the law360 reference you provided seems not visible without subscription so it can not be verified. Please provide any other verifiable source in support of the claim (or any other quote). Chirota (talk) 00:21, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The "it can not be verified" page you reference and link to specifically states re: access to sources: "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access. Some reliable sources may not be easily accessible." NinaSpezz (talk) 13:20, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * , should you have cared to notice the template, you could see that the edit request is not closed yet. I have tried to be helpful with your edit request. But you seemed to cite me a rule where its not applicable (you see, I didn't reject your edit request yet) as the chance of this edit request getting accepted is still there but you can not expect one to update an article just assuming good faith when verifiability is really a cocern. I would leave the closure of this edit request on someone else but I feel they will also raise the same concern. Best Chirota (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Not inclined to give this much weight to this article, but we can say that the quote comes from the "advocacy group Better Markets".
 * ✅. Removed American Prospect ref.
 * ❌. I decline to give this much weight to Law360, which is a professional publication that has its "skin in the game" and which does not strike me as the kind of publication that will say anything negative about a prominent lawyer. I think another source, from an outlet with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, should be provided before we can praise Tarbert further. JBchrch   talk  17:36, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
