> Lutnick Pushed to Weaken Chip Rules That Overlap With His Family Business
Buried well below the fold and below two ads, 20pt, 400 weight:
> These dealings are just a tiny portion of Cantor’s business, which stretches from investment banking and trading to real estate. Other investment banks have similar partnerships, and there is no evidence that Cantor’s investments influenced Mr. Lutnick’s deliberations.
Overlap? These interests are barely even tangent.
I feel like NYT's standards used to be higher than that...
I’d prefer the overlap to be “actually nonexistent”. It used to be the standard for conflict of interest was the mere appearance of a conflict was enough to require some sort of disinvestment. Now it’s “oh well the overlap isn’t really that bad considering how rich he is.”
