'No country for creepy old men': FDIC chief grilled over sex, nude pix at agency
|
[NYPOST] The embattled head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was grilled on Capitol Hill on Tuesday — one day after a bombshell investigation revealed the banking regulator has long been a toxic cesspool of misogyny.
FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, who appeared at a Capitol Hill oversight hearing with other top financial regulators, told the Senate Banking Committee he was personally distraught after the Wall Street Journal’s report on Monday and committed to providing a safe working environment for staff.
That did not spare him the wrath of politicians after the Journal detailed incidents where senior bank examiners allegedly texted female subordinates photos of their penises and invited employees to a strip club.
"You and your colleagues ought to hide your heads in a bag," Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) railed. "This is no country for creepy old men."
Fellow Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis noted Gruenberg’s nearly 20-year tenure on the FDIC board, chastising him for what they said was his failure to act on a long-standing problem spotlighted by the FDIC’s inspector general.
