Consumer Protection Personnel Moves

The Senate finally confirmed Thomas Curry as the new Comptroller of the Currency, head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  It will be interesting to see if the OCC swings more to protecting consumers than banks under Curry's leadership.  In addition, the Senate confirmed FTC chair Jon Leibowitz for a second term (the confirmation is as an FTC commissioner, not the FTC chair; the president designates the chair from among the commissioners) and Maureen Ohlhausen as an FTC commissioner.
