How Occupy leveraged its power on Volcker Rule

An attorney working for the Occupy movement tells Financial News why a group of lawyers and bankers decided to submit a 325-page report on the Volcker Rule

“I thought it would be good to leverage the power of the Occupy movement and try to write something substantial.” These are the words of Akshat Tewary, the lead author of the 325-page submission by the activist group on the Volcker Rule that was published yesterday and which has widely impressed critics for its depth and knowledge of the financial markets.

The document, formally addressed to Ben S Bernanke, chairman to the Federal Reserve, and Mary Schapiro, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, can be found here http://bit.ly/u8rSA0.
