Blythe Masters Withdraws From CFTC : Furious Twitter Backlash Blamed
Following our post yesterday which included the occasional F-bomb and got well over 40K reads since its posting late last night, the reaction was sharp and severe. So severe in fact that less than 24 hours later, Blythe Master has withdrawn from the CFTC. The culprit for Masters' resignation in just 24 hours? A very angry Twitter.
Blythe Masters, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s commodities head, withdrew from an advisory committee of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission a day after her appointment was disclosed, according to two people with direct knowledge of the decision.
The regulator may include another executive from New York-based JPMorgan on the committee, said one person close to the bank who requested anonymity because the move hasn’t been publicly announced. Masters, 44, withdrew because the company’s sale of its physical commodities unit will keep her occupied, the person said.
JPMorgan is selling a division that deals in assets such as metals and oil, as government watchdogs examine whether federally backed lenders should be involved in such markets. Masters’s appointment drew criticism from Twitter users who questioned the propriety of her advising the regulator of futures and swaps.
Masters, whose appointment was listed on the CFTC’s website yesterday, had been scheduled to participate in a Feb. 12 meeting to discuss cross-border guidance on rules. She was invited to the panel by acting Chairman Mark Wetjen, said one of the people.
Brian Marchiony, a JPMorgan spokesman, said the company had no comment.
Perhaps there is some justice in the world.
We do, however, have one question for Ms. Masters even though we understand she will be "very occupied due to the sale of JPM's physical commodities unit": does this premature resignation confirm that the allegations against the JPMorganite, who had so far been wrapped up in "neither admissions nor denials", are in fact true and accurate?
And while we have her attention, can Ms. Masters also please advise what other markets she was manipulating?

Maybe Twitter is worth something after all; other than as a stock.
Well, score one for the 'little people'... These crooks like to be pretty blatant with their frauds, and this was just the latest example.
Witchez be Trippin'!
BWAHAHAHAH!
WANTED!!! Another FIAT Mafiosii & GOLD Hater For The Post...
BOOM ! SUCK IT BLYTHE !!
Why not just #AskJPM?
Blythe's withdrawal is one thing, BUT... the question with an occasional "F-Bomb" was and still is, "Who the fuck got her nominated for the CFTC position in the first place?"
Looney
She can always go onstage and Twerk with Miley, right?
twitter unexplained bankruptcy and delisting in 3....2....1
more likely to see new rules on twitter against "hate speech"... defined as TPTB deem appropriate, including, but not limited to... any statement that implies anything other than bankers do God's work are per se hate speech.
#FucktheEU
Official US.gov policy. Can't get worse that, can it?
There's a Whisper Rumor that Blythe is getting her own A&E reality TV show similar to "Storage Wars."
I liked your previous thoughts on the origin of her name much better. The old adage is true. What's in a name? Blythe? Shudders. How much hatred did they have for the bastard?

You bastards! For once we could've had a rare gorgeous face at the CFTC. So what if she manipulated the precious metals market of the world? You think if she is not at cftc, the manipulation would stop?
Come on! The more they manipulate the gold price, the more i get to buy it at the cheaper rate!!!!!
We should all sing praises for Blythe!!! She allows us to accumulate physical gold at such ridiculously low prices!!!
.

Wait, something doesnt seem right in my argument...i wonder what
Gorgeous? Bart Chilton was prettier than her, and such full bodied golden locks!
Her appointment was just the stalking horse to take attention off of the next person they put up who WILL join the committee.
Another poster that remembers Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood.
Hey, i'm sure the 400+ ZeroHed comments would show up as a tiny slice on the pie graph labelled - 'Reasons why Blythe Master withdraws from CFTC'...
The Guandian refers to her as "the woman who invented financial weapons of mass destruction"
"If you like your corruption and manipulations, you can keep your corruption and manipulations."
Oh, wait....
"Gorgeous? Bart Chilton was prettier than her, and such full bodied golden locks!"
I vote for 'smoking hot'. And apparently shameless. What more do you want?
Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?
That would be Bart Chilton.....sorry Blythe.
hahahaha
Convert now or forever burn in Hell,
For now begins The Inquistion....
+1 just because she will probably read that...
Because you know that I do care about my friends:
With a name like Blythe, you just know her parents were the completely anal-retentive, uppity east coast elite-effete types, who harbored deep & twisted hatred towards each other, and engaged in all manner of moral & sexual depravity-bordering-on-brutality.
You rock TIS.
This one was even better :-)
She might be from London Truth.
London, East Coast of U.S... I've been to both places many times and each northeast coast city is full of the same exact kind of sycophants that London is.
The North East Coast of the U.S. is like a separate country than the entirety of the rest of the U.S.
People that travel or live there can vouch for this.
Yup
The Dark Queen hath receded! Glory unto us all!
"Perhaps there is some justice in the world."
Not really, because if there was, she and the others would have been tarred and feathered prior to being drawn and quartered.
The 9/11 Commission had to dump Kissinger and we got Kean/Zelikow instead. Was that an improvement?
Watch the other hand.
... or as I like to call it, 'Tuesday'
At some point she might also read troll comments on her pompous blog:
http://blythemasters.blogspot.com/
She used to get rid of trolls. Hope she spent the time to do it herself. But she apparently abandoned her blog over a year ago. Her last post has attracted 30 trolls, including William Banzai.
The blog links to her other sites too- Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, a Wordpress blog, etc. All abandoned. Her other sites aren't even infested by trolls. Strange.
I have a feeling she showed up as a huge return on the dems election radar, and she was promptly disinvited. Seriously, Blythe never gave a crap about howthe public felt about her and/or what she was doing; she´s been getting dissed for years already. The Democrats however, are in survival mode, and they sure as shit don´t want more problems.
truth, how about "hoarders buried alive". a 10 ton pallet of gold dropped on that wretched witch from the east would do just fine
im waiting for the pilot to her new animal planet tv show.
Raped by a Bear-Market. (its a grizley in a Dow T-shirt.)
No "twate speech" allowed
Masters Debated: Twitterers Tweets Twubble the Twat.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced it would try to sell or spin off its physical commodity trading assets and operations, dismantling an empire built over five years by commodities chief Blythe Masters, 44, ex-wife of Danny Masters.
The announcement came almost 15 years to the day after the bank said it would end its first big foray into raw materials, led then by Danny when the couple was still married.

Born in Oxford, Masters was raised in the south-east of England.[2] She attended The King's School in Canterbury on scholarship.[3] She graduated in 1991 from Trinity College, Cambridge with a B.A. in economics, and joined the bank J.P. Morgan after completing a number of internships there while still a student.[4]
When derivatives played a role in the 2008 financial crisis, Masters was described by the UK newspaper The Guardian as "the woman who invented financial weapons of mass destruction".
She has rejected this as simplistic, telling the newspaper: "I do believe CDSs [credit default swaps] have been miscast, much as poor workmen tend to blame their tools."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythe_Masters
wow ..... what a nice touch! > ........... " ....much as poor workmen tend to blame their tools."
truth ....always stranger than fiction ....... this is no fictional 'composite' person (as seems the modern trend) but a real live individual.
Query: what would Blythe Masters know about 'poor workmen' &/or their 'tools' and whether they blame them or not ?
Blythe .... 'let them eat cake' is a little more tangy
Derivatives don't kill financial systems . . . the sociopathic banksters who write them and buy them do.
delete unintentional double post... sorry!
"poor workmen blaming their tools..."
For some reason I don't think insatiable Ms. Termagant was talking about a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task...
but maybe she was.
Sourcing the Guardian for insight into high finance and the evolution of derivatives- WTF???
(Wikipedia link- that explains a lot)
The Guardian , ............................... belongs to which Banking family then?????............................................................?
never one roach,
thank you. i suspect she may have a deep appreciation for poor workmen and their tools.
Yet she wonders still why no one likes her...
Some other puppet will be installed to follow the instructions intended for Blythe Masters.
Quantum physics tells us that in some other reality there is a Blythe Masters who is a decent human being.
Man, that really messes with my head.
Twitter blamed? Oh, Twitter must be important then.
CFTC has probably found out Blythe wasn't into midgetrannyporn so they canceled the arrangement.
You'd have to prove that to me.
Fifty bucks sez she wrote the manual.
Is that like a Superman & Solomon Grundy thing?
Quantum physics tells us that in some other reality there is a Blythe Masters who is a decent human being.
you're assuming she's human and not a reptillain construct who has to drink the blood of virgins to breath our air
She should use her extra time to take Cat Daddy lessons from Kate.

Will Chairman Mark Wetjen fall on this sword for this!?
After all, somebody who invites to work with the regulatora person who was heading a trading unit which participated in market manipulation against that regulators own regulations is either seriously incompetent or corrupt, either of which mean that the person making the invitation is not fit to hold that position.
As I see it, the only reason the corruption of the system is increasing is because the cronyies who bring other cronyies in never suffer for it: they either get away with it or they fail and suffer nothing. It's always a zero-risk opportunity.
If the balance of risk was adjusted so that nominating your buddies "just because" carried a risk of loss if it turned out they were not fit for that position, then this kind of thing would rarelly happen.
Not going to happen.
perhaps now that Dutch bankers swear an oath of honesty they will call a Dutch? ;-)
Someone with more money than you.
She was invited to the panel by acting Chairman Mark Wetjen
"Who the fuck got her nominated for the CFTC position in the first place?"
this is the real problem. the fact that she was even nominated underscores the arrogance of the ruling class. not that they care if she withdraws. they will just find another lackey to reward and serve their needs and interests. glad to see her gone and humiliated nonetheless.
"Ms. Masters had been invited to join the advisory committee of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission by the acting chairman of regulator, Mark P. Wetjen."
Dont worry no one will ever do anything about this. Especially not anyone reading this.
Yeah, just what we need: someone from the den of thieves of JP Morgan to join the "see no evil " monkeys of the CFTC.

You never go Full Retard.
Even Blythe knows that (now).
But let's not forget, "Hell hath no wrath, like a woman scorned." Wait for the fall-out. Could be interesting.
Scorned from what? Outright open stealing? She should be arrested, tried, convicted and hung from the neck until dead if found guilty.
Scorned as in, "You'll eat my poop for this, MF'er! Fire me!? Huh!" Get even kind of scorn. I don't know of any charges filed against her yet. I have to admit to a few sins myself.
That's a little lenient, don't you think?
If ?
The news story is a propaganda technique called
Door In The Face
Is used to increase a person's latitude of acceptance. For example, if a salesperson wants to sell an item for $100 but the public is only willing to pay $50, the salesperson first offers the item at a higher price (e.g., $200) and subsequently reduces the price to $100 to make it seem like a good deal.

Ultimately I expect Corzine to be appointed to the CTFC and not the presidency as someone predicted on the initial article.
Blythe has PMS (Post Metals Syndrome). Pity her family!
I think she's kinda cute. Don't you think she's kinda cute?
WANTED!!! Large VORACIOUS Foxes to Guard The CFTC HENhouse...
Blythe thought it read large voracious box wanted.
Manipulate THIS
her response: define "market".
i don't get mad, i get stabby
LOL- yeah sure, it was "Blythe's" idea......
..and will be replaced with a lesser known status quo crook. I'm running out of patience for justice.
I commented yesterday that the idea of that fetid ham wallet in the cftc was a bridge too far. Too in your face, rub your fucking nose in it. I am surprised however that there was a clarion moment.
Just think, now the legacy of Bart Chilton can be fully manifested. Position limits, rule of law, and a land made out of candy.
p.s. I have a bridge for sale very cheap, if you want it, you got it but if not, I have people lined up to buy so no pressure.
Yes, it's all Sunshine n Lollipops from here on out...
you can't let talent like her go to waist.......they'll find a "place" for her
yes, I'm sure she "earned" better than this...
Go to "waist"? Is she getting fat?
Gotta +1 any mention of ham wallet.
pods
and "fetid" at that...+1
There's a 1000 crooks waiting to fill her slippers
And probably any number of poor workmans' tools, as well.
@Herd-Redirection-Committee
I'm enjoying Blythe's comeuppance, but I'm also resigned to the fact that Wetjen will just appoint another banking cartel crony. There is no change until the whole apparatus is dissolved and even then, we will have something new to be wary of.
The regulator may include another executive from New York-based JPMorgan on the committee, said one person close to the bank
Translation: Masters is just too famously corrupt so the bank will have a different minion overseeing cost control over JPM's fine losses
Ever tried to get flush a "floatie" that just won't go down?!
She'll pop up again somewhere. Guaranteed.
"Bring on the guillotines."
damn i was looking forward to seeing her many naked shorts. and jp morgan driving gold to zero before they bail to china.
I wouldnt mind Blythe manipulating me if she used Both Hands.
I'd sooner watch her star in a brazilian fart punishment porno as the catcher.
No satisfaction there, my friend. As soon as it goes up, she'll short it.
True value is not accurately measured in dollar signs for some things. It's value is social in nature not monetary.
Zero Hedge one / Masters zero. Where do you think all those twits came from? or whatever you call them; tweeters? urrrg.
Schiff, Faber, Rogers, Barnhardt ... to name a few
Blythe Masters now head of Bitcoin trading at JP Morgan after sale of commodities division
I can see it now!
What surprises me is that she took any notice of the peons. These people have been getting away with proverbial murder up to now and gave the rest of us the finger. She sailed through the whole CDS scandal without it ruffling her $2000 hair-do.
I suspect it wasn't her that took notice. She was told to withdraw and reasonably compensated for the inconvenience.
"Maybe Twitter is worth something after all; other than as a stock."
You know, there have been several events like this -- remember the meltdown when JPM announced the Q&A back in November?
It seems to be an effective shaming tool for TPTB (for now.) I think the key is that it's both public and that your comments get attached directly to the antagonists you reply to -- so they can't really hide.
There might be some value in tweeting snarks to these asses after all. If nothing else, it helps wake others up to their bad behavior.
They have no shame.
More likely fear.
So she was "twoted" off the Shit Show.
twatted off the twit show
Twitter finally does something good.
I have a little job for Blythe.
Isn't blythe still facing possible CRIMINAL charges from her commoddities fraud???? How the heck could she be considered by the CFTC in the first place???
Geez, might as well put Corzine on the board.
Are you kidding? That's how they knew she would fit in! Her fraud is an enhancement on her resume for some in the industry.
good point, they can keep her in line with prosecution threats.
Well....I'll be a fleeced sheep. Score one for the Twitter-verse.
I'm still not ADD or narcissistic enough to get an account.....but good on 'ya mate, none the less.
Blythe Masters needs to be exorcised !!

Thank you Reverend Billy and Max Keiser !
I had no idea she was so hot! I really need to meet this woman.
A Simple Question
Every other month, for the last twelve years, either Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan Chase has been under investigation for some form of financial fraud or other.
If America were really a "land of laws" would a criminal organization like that still have any credit rating?
If America were really a "land of laws" would the US Department of the Treasury be primarily filled with personnel from JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs?
Would any legitimate enterprise hire anyone from those two disreputable criminal organizations?
Negative. . . .
We need balls-to-the-walls prosecutions of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, credit rating agencies, Countrywide, the mortgage industry, the appraisers,Freddie and Fannie, Citi and the big bankster Wall Street banks, AIG, and current and former federal co-conspirators at U.S. Treasury, SEC, OTS, Federal Reserve, especially FRBNY( Tiny Tim, Dudley-Do-Wrong), and those members of Congress who aided and abetted the greatest financial crimes in U.S. history.
Justice demands these long-overdue prosecutions of overlapping RICO criminal enterprises. We need 20 years-to-life hard time prison sentences for the hundreds convicted. We need RICO confiscations of the hundreds of billions in illegal "profits" from the criminal enterprises of the banks, mortgage industry, and Wall Street Mafia.
Because of the huge backlog of RICO cases, the prosecution and the courtroom should be modified to process the mass trials in style of the Maxiprocesso (Maxi Trials) of the Mafia in Sicily during the 1980s that resulted in hundreds of defendants convicted.

Still think its a garbage stock from an investment choice, but between this and the whole askJPM thing, it has done us a great service
Blythe and JPM are featured prominently in the book - Gold Wars: Battle for the Global Economy.
I'm sure she can get herself a lucrative consulting deal.
That way, there won't be a claim that one of their employees buried manipulation claims... "upon further review, one of our trusted advisors has informed us that everything is fine, and there's nothing to see here."
Its not just about money, they are hugely egotistical. They want to advance to the head of the class, wear the crown and such. This is especially important for the driven women out there. They have much to prove and it just isn't cool to be waving around your bank book and bragging. Its about the chair and the crown. Think "Hillary". Its about power and the prestige that comes with it.
The same goes for males, of course.
...and transgenders.
Oldwood, thinking Hilary has a disgusting effect. I would rather think Masters. At least she has a nice smile.
And she doesn't gloat after killing people.
Oh yes she has. Think of everyone killed due to her and the banksters' machinations.
That's why people like Blythe are called sociopaths.
... and people like Hillary are called cunts.
I hope she's getting fitted for her bread helmet.
come on folks, she's going to the SEC
cute...blonde. we might be onto something here...
JPM must really hate Twitter..... HA HA HA !!!
Kicked out of the den of vipers.
She really must be a piece of shit.
no wonder twitter crashed....
bye bye cunt!!!
#AskJPM
Did not see your post and that was the very first thing that came to my mind.
I certainly don't know what everyone in the world is thinking, but I do know what alot of people around here are thinking.

WTF?
JPM is furiously shorting twitter now
These people are not shamed by anything. This is a much more nefarious development. LOL, Twitter they said.
I wonder how many "friends" she lost on FB?
tweet for twat
