Jake Bernstein has a financial blockbuster up
today at ProPublica on the secret tape recordings made inside the New
York Fed and Goldman Sachs by bank examiner turned whistleblower, Carmen
Segarra, who was fired by the New York Fed after she refused to change
her examination findings on Goldman Sachs.
Segarra is one gutsy bank examiner and lawyer: according to the
article, she went to the Spy Store, bought a tiny microphone, and
proceeded to tape record two of the most powerful financial institutions
in the world — 46 hours worth of tapes.
