WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“

“On the front-lines of this effort is Better Markets, a relatively new advocacy
group pushing to ensure new regulations are as strong as possible.”


BRAKING THE BANKS

“

“Dennis Kelleher [is] one of the most powerful lobbyists on financial regulatory
reform.”

“Facing Down the Bankers”


THE NEW YORK TIMES

“

“It's more important than ever that consumers and taxpayers have strong
advocates like Dennis and Better Markets to stand up for ordinary Americans.”

Former CQ Weekly Columnist


GEORGE CAHLINK

“

“Kelleher, a former attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, has become
well-known for his critique of both Wall Street banks and regulators who he has
often accused of failing to hold the banks accountable for wrongdoing.”

Former Reuters Columnists


SARAH N. LYNCH AND ARUNA VISAWANATHA

“

“Dennis is one of the most plugged in and important names here in Washington as
the founder and leader of the investor advocacy group Better Markets. His views
can not only drive fear into the heart of Wall Street, but they are also driving
the conversation on Capitol Hill, especially on the most pressing topics
concerning market abuse, risk and the integrity of the financial system.”

Host of Fintech Beat Podcast


CHRIS BRUMMER

“

“Better Markets encourages a free flow of reform-minded ideals by bringing
transparency and some small counterweight to the lobbying goliath of Wall
Street.”

Former Special Inspector General, TARP


NEIL BAROFSKY

“

“Dennis Kelleher is one of the most effective group CEOs in Washington, D.C.,
and Better Markets’ record of achievement proves that.”

Former President and CEO, Independent Community Bankers of America


CAMDEN FINE

“

“On the front-lines of this effort is Better Markets, a relatively new advocacy
group pushing to ensure new regulations are as strong as possible.”

.@DennisKelleher spoke to the @FT’s @brookeamasters @stef_palma @stephengandel
about an @FDIC proposal aimed at ensuring asset managers do not seek too much
influence over the banks in which they hold large stakes.




FDIC ponders tighter checks on big ‘passive’ investors in US banks

Proposals would demand asset managers show they are not seeking to control
lenders in which they have large stakes

#WallStreet is spending a stunning amount of money to mislead the policymakers,
regulators, and the public on a proposal to strengthen #capital requirements
that can help prevent the next financial crash and protect Main Street.
