updates[edit]

OTS no longer exists, referencing as other federal regulators is no longer appropriate. Jrkotrla (talk) 23:05, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Crisis[edit]

Some mention of the subprime crisis would be nice.

There was an article that the OCC blocked state attorneys from regulating subprime predator loans.

199.83.40.39[edit]

A recurring edit from this IP address appears to target OCC related posts, e.g. this one, the article on John Dugan, etc., removing any negative text, even if well supported by references. Keep an eye out for these edits.--Thalia42 (talk) 22:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thalia, The reason I keep removing that paragraph, is because it is not balanced even with the sources you provide. To make it balanced requires a lot more on the history of preemption and including additional news coverage that talks about the failure of state regulation. That paragraph is akin to a public debate on the topic and better left to the blogs that take take a particularly editorial view. Feel free to give me a call at the OCC to discuss -- Bryan Hubbard 202-874-5770. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.83.40.39 (talk) 15:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The factual statements of the regulation and Supreme Court decision are not biased or incorrect. If you wish to add more information to add another perspective supported by facts, feel free to do so. But do not remove accurate information because you don't like it.--Thalia42 (talk) 12:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

In 1902, was the Comptroller of the Currency described as the Controller of the Currency? This New York Times article has left me unsure if they are one and the same, although it makes sense they would be. Benji the Pen (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Consolidated National Bank, New York City: The New York Times, September 12, 1902, p. 12, retrieved January 19, 2017 {{citation}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

The writer has probably made it 115 years without anyone having the ability to fact check this (because so few could before Cornell LII). Congrats. 13 Stat. 100 (1864) has comptroller, so does 12 U.S.C. § 1, and it's unlikely the spelling changed in between. The words are homonyms and synonyms.

What book is everyone required to know, and yet no one has actually read? Everyone is supposed to know the law, under penalty of law. But it's the one book you will find at every library, yet no library will lend it to you so you can actually read it. Catch-22. (And deplorable and shameful.) I am talking about 2017, so imagine how difficult it would have been in 1902, before the United States Code, and when the Revised Statutes of the United States was fairly useless, leaving only the United States Statutes at Large to comb through. Then even more than now, people only learn the law through word of mouth, for better or worse (usually worse), so homonyms like that would be a major obstacle. int21h (talk · contribs · email) 05:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I assume as you say the writer just misheard and was not able to fact check. I also found another article from 1975 from the New York Times that confirms your statement that they are homonyms and synonyms both:

BURNHAMAUG, DAVID (August 12, 1975), Study of Controller of Currency Cites Faults in Its Operations, but Says Office Maintains Strong System, New York City: The New York Times {{citation}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

If it is behind a paywall, it reads that "These critical comments were contained in a 321‐page study by the certified public accounting firm of Haskins & Sells that concluded that despite the problems and a need for a fundamental reorganization the 112‐year‐old office of the Controller of the Currency “has historically achieved its basic objective of maintaining a sound banking system for the convenience of the public.” The $1‐million study was ordered last year by James E. Smith, the Controller of the Currency, following the collapse of the United States, National Bank in San Diego and the Franklin National Bank in New York City." Thoughts on whether a redirect for Controller of the Currency to this location, with an explanation on the Comptroller page, would be appropriate? 13:47, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
