Could we be seeing some positive changes on Wall Street soon? It seems there is a new sheriff in town.

"Couldn't they have found
"Couldn't they have found someone who wasn't a key figure in one of the most notorious scandals to hit the SEC in the past two decades? And couldn't they have found someone who isn't a perfect symbol of the revolving-door culture under which regulators go soft on suspected Wall Street criminals, knowing they have million-dollar jobs waiting for them at hotshot defense firms as long as they play nice with the banks while still in office?"
Edit: It really bothers me that not much (if anything at all) is being mentioned about the fact White was a partner in the firm that defends Wall Street criminals before getting this appointment.
