Will White Honsetly Regulate Wall Street

I don't know a ton about this but the last paragarph of the entry suggests in the first sentance that she may protect Wall Street, the second tries to follow that point but doesn't. It says:

For the past 10 years, she has been Chair of the litigation department at Debevoise & Plimpton. It has been asserted summarily in Rolling Stone magazine that, among other duties at Debevoise, White has used her influence and connections to protect certain Wall Street CEOs from prosecution. In this regard, The Huffington Post noted, "If she is confirmed by Congress, the agency will have at its helm a well-respected attorney who won high-profile cases against mobsters, terrorists and financial fraudsters over the course of nearly a decade as the U.S. attorney for Manhattan."

Interested in her wealth and connection to Wall Street CEOs? The NY Times reports on February 12:

S.E.C. Nominee Discloses Law Firm Wealth By PETER LATTMAN It is no secret that the partners at the white-shoe law firms Debevoise & Plimpton and Cravath, Swaine & Moore earn a decent living. The financial disclosure form of Mary Jo White, the Obama administration’s pick to become the next chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reveals just how decent. Ms. White and her husband, John White, have a net worth of at least $16 million, according to the filing. Ms. White, 65, heads the litigation department at Debevoise; Mr. White, 65, is co-chairman of the corporate governance practice at Cravath. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/02/11/mary-jo-white-discloses-law-firm-wealth/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.155.110.2 (talk) 15:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Audrey Strauss

Hey guys! So with Audrey Strauss as acting attorney, do you think we should change "She was the first and only woman to be the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York," to "She was the first woman to be the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York,"? Obviously, she is still the only female attorney for that district to be confirmed by the Senate.

Lemme know watcha think?

Cheers.

The fact that Strauss is only serving as "acting" might suggest White remains the sole woman to fully serve in this role. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 19:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go with "first and only Senate-confirmed." jhawkinson (talk) 00:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've made that change. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 00:11, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. Thanks guys! GreenFrogsGoRibbit (talk) 00:52, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Corrupt defender of corporate murderers

"This lady should be in jail for aiding and abetting the Sackler Family oxycontin murders." I believe we should add this statement to the main article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.188.103 (talk) 19:44, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture

"She was played by Suzan Perry in Mr. Robot, season 2, episode 2." I believe we should add this statement to the main article. Bwrs (talk) 03:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
