View This Message on the Web October 19 Is Timothy Geithner A Roadblock to Regulatory Reform? By Jason Simpkins Managing Editor Money Morning Financial disclosure forms revealed last week that some of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner's closest aides earned millions of dollars a year working for top Wall Street firms. That finding alone would not likely be enough to cast doubt over Geithner's ability to take the lead in reforming the financial system.
