New York AG chief of staff quits after misconduct investigation

 

An independent investigation by a law firm found no evidence of wrongdoing by Ibrahim Khan

 

State Attorney General Letitia Jamesโ€™s longtime chief of staff and one of her most-trusted advisers resigned after being investigated for workplace misconduct, according to a person familiar with the matter.

 

A law firm was hired to conduct an independent investigation into Ibrahim Khan and found no evidence of official workplace misconduct. It came after an allegation of sexual harassment surfaced in October, said the person, who declined to describe the outcome of the probe. The investigation involved โ€œa fewโ€ women, none of whom are current employees, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing information that isnโ€™t public.

 

In a statement to Bloomberg News, Khan, who has worked closely with James since before she was New Yorkโ€™s top law enforcement officer, said his resignation had nothing to do with the allegations and that he planned to resign at the end of Jamesโ€™s first term anyway.

FTX Collapse Draws Senate Scrutiny as Lawmakers Push for Crypto Oversight

 

CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam says his agency needs authority to write rules, oversee trading

 

WASHINGTONโ€”Lawmakers should pass legislation that would impose strict rules on cryptocurrency exchanges, including rules to limit or prohibit the conflicts of interest that contributed to FTXโ€™s collapse, Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Rostin Behnam said Thursday.

 

Speaking to members of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Mr. Behnam said he still supported a bill that would give his small agency authority to police trading in bitcoin, ether and other digital assets classified as commodities. FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried also lobbied in support of the legislation before the firmโ€™s collapse last month.

 

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!
