Controversy section?

Of course not. Those are only for conservatives. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 15:05, 20 June 2014 (UTC) Burn in hell... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.251.253 (talk) 01:10, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Manners, please, children. Fatidiot1234 (talk) 03:35, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I guess any controversy is speech not to be free. Only conservatives should be hushed up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C085:D2D0:A87F:5513:B2A1:8AEC (talk) 00:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Political Views?

I'm curious his political views. If he has skewed one way or another in regards to his political donations. Can we include some mention of this? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.153.76 (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested Edits

I reverted an edit which added references to awards received by Koskinen which are not mentioned in the source(s). It also removed content related to the IRS emails which was well-sourced. I also have concerns that the editor making these edits may have a WP:Conflict of Interest.Eeyoresdream (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish heritage

Judging by his name, he has Finnish ancestors, any info on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.220.223.244 (talk) 14:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC) Definitely! I, Riku Sakari Koskinen, graduate 1977 from Fremont High School, Sunnyvale, California, can confirm that Koskinen definitely is of Finnish heritage. After graduation I returned back to Finland and after finishing my studies, Masters degree in Economics and later MBA, I started my working career at IBM and later at Diners Club credit card business. Both american companies standing for american values. John Koskinen carries his finnish heritage with pride and is an excellent example of how far you can achieve in your working and entrepreneurial career. - God bless him and his wife and family.[reply]
