SEC's Last Major Legal Official Exits, Leaving Clean Slate for Trump Era
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be losing its top lawyer, General Counsel Megan Barbero, who has been involved in the SEC's legal battles with the crypto industry. Her departure comes at the same time as Chair Gary Gensler, who authored the SEC's crypto stance, is leaving. Barbero's role involved overseeing the agency's legal department in disputes with crypto businesses and providing advice on enforcement. This follows the recent departures of the SEC's enforcement chief and the accounting head responsible for the agency's crypto accounting policy.
