Post by: Tamsialu$$ on November 03, 2021, 12:52:57 AM
Mark Wetjen served on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission alongside current SEC Chair Gary Gensler. FTX US, the American affiliate of Sam Bankman-Fried's exchange empire, announced today that it has hired Mark Wetjen as head of policy and regulatory strategy.

Though not a household name, Wetjen is a desirable addition for the growing company, having served as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) commissioner from 2011 to 2016. Wetjen also took on the role of acting chairman for five months when then-chair Gary Gensler (who now chairs the Securities and Exchange Commission) left the agency in early 2014.more (https://decrypt.co/85112/former-cftc-commissioner-joins-bitcoin-exchange-ftx-us)
