Subject: Funny: U.S. financial regulators are still going to work Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:57 pm
The government may be shut down, but since the SEC, the FDIC, the OCC, the FHFA, and the Fed are all more or less profit-making enterprises, they'll keep coming to work and paying their employees. The CFTC not so much: It's paid out of general appropriations and will be furloughing hundreds of employees. So if you're planning a financial fraud this week maybe stick to the commodities markets.
