The New York Times has a look at the revolving door between the Justice Department, financial regulatory agencies, and private law firms:
many firms, flush with business from banks and corporations caught in one legal problem after another, are now clamoring for the former prosecutors to handle such specialized work and navigate an overlapping maze of government agencies....Robert S. Khuzami, the former head of enforcement at the S.E.C., is receiving more than $5 million a year at Kirkland & Ellis, while David Meister, the onetime C.F.T.C. official, is earning a few million dollars annually as head of the white-collar group in Skadden's New York office.
