Implementing Dodd-Frank: A Review Of The Cftc‟S Rulemaking Process: Testimony, Michael Greenberger
Implementing Dodd-Frank: A Review Of The Cftc‟S Rulemaking Process: Testimony, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
The Relationship of Unregulated OTC Derivatives to the Meltdown. It is now accepted wisdom that it was the non-transparent, poorly capitalized, and almost wholly unregulated over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market that lit the fuse that exploded the highly vulnerable worldwide economy in the fall of 2008. Because tens of trillions of dollars of these financial products were pegged to the economic performance of an overheated and highly inflated housing market, the sudden collapse of that market triggered under-capitalized or non-capitalized OTC derivative guarantees of the subprime housing investments. Moreover, the many undercapitalized insurers of that collapsing market had other multi-trillion dollar …
Diversifying Clearinghouse Ownership In Order To Safeguard Free And Open Access To The Derivatives Clearing Market, Michael Greenberger
Diversifying Clearinghouse Ownership In Order To Safeguard Free And Open Access To The Derivatives Clearing Market, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
Implementing the rigorous governance and ownership standards established in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act3 for derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) will promote free and open access to clearing and reduce systemic risk within what is now the $700 trillion notional value derivatives market. Such standards are central to and advance the key regulatory tenants of Dodd-Frank: i.e., to restore transparency, capital adequacy, and accountability to what was the unregulated over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market by ensuring that swaps are cleared through financially sound DCOs. Also, these rules will promote competition by curtailing large swap dealers‘ (SDs) control over …
Federal Preemption And Consumer Financial Protection: Past And Future
Federal Preemption And Consumer Financial Protection: Past And Future
Patricia A. McCoy
Starting in 1995 and throughout the subprime boom during the next decade, Congress failed to take action to curb predatory mortgage lending. Many states and cities filled the void by passing anti-predatory lending laws of their own. Lenders, worried about potential liability, quickly organized a full-scale attack on the state and local initiatives. Their most potent strategy lay in challenging the laws and ordinances under federal preemption rules for national banks and federal savings associations that precluded states from enforcing their anti-predatory lending laws.
The Dodd-Frank Act curtailed the preemption rules by establishing that state consumer financial laws can only …

Las Pymes A Través Del Mercado De Valores En El Perú: Una Visión Comparada Con España, John Pineda Galarza
John Pineda Galarza
En el presente Working Paper se pone en evidencia el problema por el que atraviesan las medianas empresas, que como parte de su crecimiento en el mercado buscan una forma alternativa de financiación. En ese contexto, se plantea como alternativa al mercado bursátil a través de emisiones de Instrumentos de Corto Plazo; sin embargo, aunque a la fecha existen medianas empresas financiándose por esta modalidad aun no hay muchos inversionistas interesados en adquirir estos valores echando por tierra el tiempo e inversión realizada por estas empresas. En el presente artículo de investigación se analizan los principales problemas identificando a los …

The Development Of The New Chinese Banking System: Domestic Modernization Or Global Financial Manipulation?, Shruti Rana
The Development Of The New Chinese Banking System: Domestic Modernization Or Global Financial Manipulation?, Shruti Rana
Shruti Rana
Over the last two decades the Chinese government has conducted an unprecedented and rapid transformation of its banking system. These changes are especially noteworthy because they are emerging against a backdrop of great global, as well as internal, financial turmoil. Moreover, the Chinese banking transformation is picking up steam at the very time China is increasingly flexing its political muscle on the global stage. These remarks argue that the current internal transformation of the Chinese banking system is inextricably intertwined with China’s rise in the global financial arena. They further argue that China’s unique banking structure and recent experiences can …

Deposit Accounts Under The New World Order, Ingrid Michelsen Hillinger, David Line Batty, Richard K. Brown
Ingrid Michelsen Hillinger
The new world is upon us. Repent. Revised Article 9 is the law in every state. Commercial deposit accounts are now available as original collateral. Bringing commercial deposit accounts into the Article 9 fold significantly complicates the planning of an Article 9 secured transaction. Attorneys for banks, non-bank creditors and debtors need to understand the new world order and the risks it poses to their clients. They need to develop strategies to minimize those risks so as to protect their clients' positions. Part II of this article describes the new legal framework and some of the risks it creates. Part …
Are Short Sellers Really The Enemy Of Efficient Securities Markets Or Are They Just Public Patsies?, Abel C. Ramirez Jr.
Are Short Sellers Really The Enemy Of Efficient Securities Markets Or Are They Just Public Patsies?, Abel C. Ramirez Jr.
Abel C Ramirez Jr.
When the 2008 global financial crisis caused the stock market to drastically decline, short selling generated intense political and economic scrutiny that negatively characterized the practice as a predatory scheme. When the 2008 global financial crisis caused the stock market to drastically decline, short selling generated intense political and economic scrutiny that negatively characterized the practice as a predatory scheme. As a legitimate investment strategy, short selling is a method by which investors can capitalize on over-valued stocks that decline – this is NOT the same as “contributing” to the stock’s decline, which short selling’s detractors might believe.

Regulation Not Prohibition: The Comparative Case Against The Insurable Interest Doctrine, Sharo Michael Atmeh
Regulation Not Prohibition: The Comparative Case Against The Insurable Interest Doctrine, Sharo Michael Atmeh
Sharo M Atmeh
American law requires an insurable interest—a pecuniary or affective stake in the subject of an insurance policy—as a predi-cate to properly obtaining insurance. In theory, the rule prevents both wagering on individual lives and moral hazard. In practice, the doctrine is avoided by complex insurance transaction structuring to effectuate both origination and transfers of insurance by individuals without an insurable interest. This paper argues that it is time to ab-andon the insurable interest doctrine. As both the English and Aus-tralian experiences indicate, elimination of the insurable interest doctrine will have little detrimental pecuniary effect on the insurance industry, while freeing …
Dodd-Frank, Securitization, And The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, Stephen P. Hoffman
Dodd-Frank, Securitization, And The Subprime Mortgage Crisis, Stephen P. Hoffman
Stephen P. Hoffman
There are few things more constant in life than the rise and fall of financial markets. When markets crash, however, we are forced to restore them while learning from our mistakes. In the wake of the recent subprime mortgage crisis, Congress has drastically but deservedly overhauled the regulation of financial markets in order to not only prevent such disasters in the future, but to help restore financial stability more quickly if and when they do occur. In this Paper, I provide a background of the events leading up to the most devastating financial crisis since the Great Depression, focusing on …
The Uncertainty Of “True Sale” Analysis In Originator Bankruptcy, Stephen P. Hoffman
The Uncertainty Of “True Sale” Analysis In Originator Bankruptcy, Stephen P. Hoffman
Stephen P. Hoffman
While much of law is complex or unclear, it is unusual for a judge to comment that a legal doctrine is so unsettled that courts “could flip a coin” to decide an issue. Unfortunately for practitioners, determining what constitutes a “true sale” for bankruptcy purposes is such an issue. Add to this the recent novel and innovative processes of structured finance and asset-backed securitization, and you have the stuff of law students’—and corporate counsels’—nightmares. As a result, courts and legislatures need to provide clarity in this area so that originators can safely structure investments and transactions, not only for the …

Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier
Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier
Gabriela Steier
This paper compares the fragmented three-pillar banking system in Germany to the banking system in the U.S. and suggests an amendment to 12 U.S.C.A. § 1821(n), the bridge bank statute, to make some fragmentation of the financial sector in the U.S. possible. This paper is the first of its kind and explains why the German bad bank prototype works within the fragmented three-pillars of banking. The three pillars of banking in Germany are (1) Savings Banks (Sparkassen), (2) Private Commercial Banks (Kreditbanken, Genossenschaftsbanken), and (3) Public and Cooperative Credit Institutions (Volks- and Raiffeisenbanken). The resulting fragmented banking system is more …
Should Ad Hoc Committees Have Fiduciary Duties?: Judicial Regulation Of The Bankruptcy Market, David L. Perechocky
Should Ad Hoc Committees Have Fiduciary Duties?: Judicial Regulation Of The Bankruptcy Market, David L. Perechocky
David L Perechocky
This article is the first to substantively and directly address the question of whether informal creditor groups in bankruptcy cases could and should have fiduciary duties to other creditors. The rise of activist investors and claims traders in bankruptcy proceedings has significantly changed the bankruptcy process, to much controversy. One particularly contentious topic is the growing presence of informal, or “ad hoc,” creditor groups. Proponents argue that these groups are beneficial by enabling creditors to work together efficiently and effectively, but critics view their actions as disruptive and often unfair to other creditors. A recent decision in the Washington Mutual …
The Bonds That Tie: Will A Performance Bond Require That A Surety Deliver A Certified Green Building?, Darren Prum, Lorilee Medders
The Bonds That Tie: Will A Performance Bond Require That A Surety Deliver A Certified Green Building?, Darren Prum, Lorilee Medders
Darren A. Prum
In 2006, the city of Washington, D. C. passed landmark legislation that introduced green building requirements for various types of structures into the jurisdiction over a five-year period. A noteworthy aspect of the legislation directed construction projects within the district to purchase green performance bonds up to $3 million to guard against a privately owned project’s failure to meet its green building aspirations. In essence, this law placed the burden of guaranteeing compliance with the government’s policy upon the contractors and sureties of a green building project.
Following the passage of this act, confusion amongst the construction industry and sureties …

Righting Others' Wrongs: A Critical Analysis Of Clawback Suits In The Wake Of Madoff-Type Ponzi Schemes And Other Financial Frauds, Amy Sepinwall
Righting Others' Wrongs: A Critical Analysis Of Clawback Suits In The Wake Of Madoff-Type Ponzi Schemes And Other Financial Frauds, Amy Sepinwall
Amy J. Sepinwall
In a typical Ponzi scheme, early investors earn “profits” not through any legitimate investment activity on the part of the Ponzi scheme operator; instead the operator simply transfers money that later investors deposit to the earlier investors who seek redemptions. As such, when the scheme goes bust, as it must, the Ponzi scheme operator will not have enough money to cover all of the investors’ deposits, let alone the earnings on those deposits that the investors thought they were owed. Should the scheme’s winners – i.e., those who withdrew more money than they deposited – be compelled to return their …

Bringing Bailouts To Court: Applying Previously Unrealized Parallels Between Finance And Patents To Solve Economic Crises, Timothy Li
Timothy Li
This Note argues that the Dodd-Frank Act will not prevent future government bailouts of failing banks, because Congress already promised and failed to end bank bailouts only twenty years earlier in response to the Savings and Loans Crisis. Rather than rely on extra-judicial remedies like the Orderly Liquidation Authority, banks should be brought to court in expedited finance trials subject to appeal to the Federal Circuit. One possible model could be expedited patent trials at the U.S. International Trade Commission. In fact, many previously unrealized parallels exist between finance and patents. Both require high technical expertise, benefit from nationwide jurisdiction, …
Regulation Of Over-The-Counter Derivatives: A Comparative Study Of Proposals In Singapore And Hong Kong, Christopher Chao-Hung Chen
Regulation Of Over-The-Counter Derivatives: A Comparative Study Of Proposals In Singapore And Hong Kong, Christopher Chao-Hung Chen
Christopher Chao-hung CHEN
This article identifies some of the potential legal and policy issues involved in the future regulation of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. First, regulators must be cautious in the regulation and solvency of some mammoth clearing-houses. Second, Singapore and Hong Kong both face challenges in the areas of global regulatory cooperation and extra-territorial regulatory effects. Third, the exact scope of a clearing obligation determines whether there is any regulatory competition or room for regulatory arbitrage in the future. Fourth, there are legal definition problems with the term ‘derivative’ and its sub-categories that must be addressed. Fifth, there are potential privacy and civil …
