"The agency that Congress created after the last FIN crisis to help prevent another FIN crisis is🚨currently completely handcuffed from working *at verge of another major FIN crisis -it’s terrifying.

The one thing we were created to do we can’t do -at a time when we’re most needed -I think the goal is to try & close the agency before Vought’s time is up as acting dir-."

Trump officials tried to axe ~1,500 of the #CFPB’s 1,700 WKRs last mo *blocked by a fed judge.

The Guardian · Workers at top US consumer watchdog sound warning as Trump bids to gut agencyPar Michael Sainato

#Coinbase saved on payroll by underpaying for work outsourced to India so that its customers could get defrauded of at least a few hundred million dollars *already*. They (the customers) will no doubt now be stalked for years by cybercriminals who have their passport, home address, and bank information.

#ThatsSoCrypto, but also this is why Coinbase donated so much money to get Donald Trump elected so #DOGE could, in Elon's immortal turn of phrase, "delete #CFPB" (meaning destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau who were helping customers deal with their complaints about Coinbase).

From Reuters:

Appeals judges prod #Trump admin, #union over #CFPB wind-down

Federal appeals court judges in Washington wrestled Friday with the extent to which they could instruct the Trump admin to operate the government's consumer finance watchdog agency, which the White House this year has sought to decimate if not shut down entirely.

“As the govt conceded at oral argument…, the President cannot unilaterally shut down the #CFPB w/o violating the #Constitution. Citing CAC’s brief on behalf on current & fmr Members of #Congress, counsel for plaintiffs underscored that the power to create, restructure, & eliminate #FederalAgencies is Congress’s power alone, & the President’s efforts to shutter the CFPB unlawfully intrude on Congress’s Article I powers & violate the Constitution’s bedrock principle of #SeparationOfPowers.

“Vought is undoing years of painstaking, bipartisan work in order to prop up #data brokers’ predatory, & profitable, #surveillance of Americans” -S Vitka, exec dir of Demand Progress -nonprofit that supported the rule.

“By withdrawing the CFPB’s data broker rulemaking, the🚨Trump admin is ensuring that Americans will continue to be bombarded by scam texts, calls & emails, & that MIL members & their families can be targeted by spies & blackmailers.”

The #CFPB quietly withdrew the proposal on Tues morning, issuing a notice published in the Federal Register declaring the rule no longer “necessary or appropriate.”

CFBP received >600 comments from the public this year concerning the proposal, titled “Protecting Americans from Harmful #DataBroker Practices.”

The #CFPB has cancelled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of
#DataBrokers to sell sensitive #information about Americans, including #financial data, #credit history, & #SocialSecurity numbers [#SSN].
CFPB proposed the new rule in early December under #Biden’s fmr director Rohit Chopra, who said the changes were necessary to combat commercial #surveillance practices that “threaten our personal #safety & undermine America’s #NationalSecurity.”

Other club owners, besides #DonaldTrumpJr, include Zach & Alex #Witkoff — the sons of #Trump’s #MiddleEast envoy #SteveWitkoff — & #OmeedMalik, who leads #1789Capital, a Florida-based #VC firm that recently *hired* Donald Trump Jr as a snr exec. The investments for 1789 Capital have included companies such as #Plaid, a #DigitalFinance firm that had lobbied the #CFPB related to a new set of banking rules—until Trump’s team effectively shut down the agency & stalled enforcement of the #regulation.

With an assist from @lawdorknews.bsky.social, I have updated my post from Wednesday about challenges to Russel Vought’s attempt to dismiss up to 90% of the CFPB’s employees. D.C. Circuit upholds the District Court’s stay on the action, with former White House counsel during Trump 1.0 joining the majority.
