🚨Calling govt. ethics experts!

What are the rules for using personal social media accounts vs. official ones? E.g. Official creates personal Twitter account after taking office but only uses it in an official capacity. Can it be considered an ethics violation/self-enrichment? . @waltshaub

🚨NEW: The August edition of @GaryGensler's public calendar has been added to the @SECGov website. Gensler met for a fifth time with @IEX CEO Brad Katsuyama on August 16th. Five meetings (that we know of so far) in 2022 with a chairman who, so say, is famously hard to get an appointment with. @FTX_Official had initiated a partnership with IEX to further establish crypto market structure and held a joint meeting with Gensler in March 2022. Unclear yet whether there were any more meetings with Bankman-Fried. 👇

🚨BREAKING SCOOP: I have received a copy of Bill Hinman's public calendar covering his entire tenure while at the @SECGov. It's extensive, 189 pages worth, of which I am still combing through but here are some standouts: Wednesday, March 28th @ 11:00AM: Hinman has a scheduled meeting with Scott Kupor, managing partner of @a16z

Thursday, March 29th @ 12:30PM: Hinman had a scheduled meeting with @ConsenSys and SEC Corporation Finance official Amy Starr

Regarding @SECGov vs. @Ripple, I think I'm pretty much up to speed now. My biggest takeaways:

1. The whole commission except Clayton was left off the 68 drafts of the Hinman speech. @CGasparino and I reported that Clayton actually gave input on the speech before delivery. 2. The ethics counsel (Minton/Serrano) who warned Hinman about his financial conflict of interest with matters regarding STB was also left off the email distribution list.

3. Tamara Brightwell WAS on the email list. At the time Brightwell was Deputy Chief Counsel in the Division
