New content
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I am employed by Jay Clayton, and have declared my conflict of interest as per Wikipedia protocol. There are a few pieces of information missing from this biography, and I request they be added as follows:
- In the Career section:
- Clayton advised many banks on the Troubled Asset Relief Program.[1]
- In the Professional membership and activities subsection:
- Clayton is a member of the board of directors at American Express since October 2022.[2] He is an advisor to Fireblocks, the Israel-based cryptocurrency firm[3] and One River.[4][5]
- Clayton is a frequent contributor to CNBC's Squawk Box and has written op-eds for the Wall Street Journal.[6]
- In the SEC tenure subsection:
- Clayton supported the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act.[7]

- Blackseneca, I'm glad you're putting this here rather than in the article. A few pointers. Material needs secondary sourcing--so the first one, that gives us a blurb as an introduction to an interview, on an organizational website. For the second point, Fireblocks, I think "serve" is a bit of a euphemism. On the third, if he writes op-eds, secondary sources should verify that; same with the TV appearances. And that he supported an act also requires secondary sourcing, not a company page. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:11, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Drmies, thank you for the review. Your feedback about the sourcing is helpful and I've taken it under advisement. I'd appreciate some clarification about your comments on the additions I've requested to the Professional membership and activities subsection. What do you mean by euphemism? As the secondary sources (Forbes and Coindesk) substantiate, Clayton maintains an advisory role in both companies. How might the text be reworded for inclusion? And can the American Express content be included as is? Thank you again for your time and continued assistance, Blackseneca (talk) 16:04, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well he gets paid, doesn't he? That's what I mean with "'serve' is a euphemism"--it's not charity. Drmies (talk) 17:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Blackseneca, I stuck in one of the paragraphs, the one with the board memberships. I was thinking of the op-ed section, but the sourcing for that is really one piece on a non-notable web site (as far as I can tell) that referenced one single op-ed--so that's not enough secondary sourcing for me. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:32, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

NPOV details and compensation
[edit]Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
I appreciate the feedback and assistance I received from the community regarding my previous request. These are additional changes to be made to this article:
- In the Tenure subsection of the SEC chair content, the last paragraph presents the information about Ripple Labs inaccurately, in violation of NPOV, and is not supported by the source provided. My suggested modification of the existing language is marked here:
- In November 2020, Clayton stated his intention to resign at the end of the year ; although his term would expire at the end of June 2021,[1] Clayton resigned on December 23, 2020.[2]
One of his final actions and on his last day at the SEC before resigning was to sueBefore leaving office as Chairman of the SEC, Clayton and his team filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs challenging the legality of trading cryptocurrency XRP as an unregistered security.[3]
- The last paragraph of the Career section includes a compensation figure for 2016. Can this be replaced for the most recently available 2021 figure?

- Partly done: I agree the language is partly problematic given the article does not actually state it was done during his last day. I have therefore amended the language to reflect the company's opinion. Salary at Apollo was added with the non-paywalled source, as the 2016 information is relevant for that year and should not be replaced. PK650 (talk) 04:52, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
