Jay Clayton has certainly been busy the last few months. Between reducing the amount of information available to investors while simultaneously limiting what those investors can do with the companies they own, giving as many people as possible the opportunity to lose money on alternative investments, sifting through whistleblower complaints, cutting checks to them, taking revenge, making phone calls and portentous statements, investigating coronavirus scandals of varying size, issuing slaps on the wrist, all the while making plans for his next step, you might think he wouldn’t have time to keep up with old friends like Gary Cohn and Paul Ryan. But you’d be wrong! He’s well aware of what they and everyone else on the Street is up to, and he’s keeping an eye on them (wink, wink), at least for the next couple of months.
