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 So severe in fact that less than 24 hours later, Blythe Master has withdrawn from the CFTC.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?

Thank God for the internet. Reasons like this is why TPTB are so afraid of it. Time for SpeakerFTD to eat a little crow for bashing Zero Hedge on this story.
I believe Fox news had the story last night.
LOL, I'm here.
I guess the angry mob deserves its due congratulations, but for all the mouth-foaming indignation, the mob is still clearly ignorant of the actual facts. This was just an advisory committee. It exists to give the financial industry a place to air their views. It has no actual regulatory power, and whatever influence it has pales in comparison to the banks' army of lawyers and lobbyist. Blythe's inclusion or exclusion might have symbolic significance, but is otherwise immaterial. And Blythe still has her job:
Ms. Blythe Masters
Head of Global Commodities
J.P. Morgan
So she is not on the advisory committee. Great. A Pyrrhic victory if there ever was one.
And for the record, I love ZH. But I stand by my statement that their headline on this one was shrill and misleading.
ah so .....
get.out.you.cunt.
Seems the plebes are not as dumb as our shitty media would have us believe. There is hope.
Fuck Blythe Masters up the ass.
Okay, I'll do it...but only for the team.
Twatter. Evidently there are some useful applications of it.
Acting Chairman Mark Wetjen should be the one leaving too. What the f*ck makes him even think that this was a good idea in the first place. Clearly, the wrong people in charge....
The wrong people in charge ? No. say it isn't so, George.
wrong people in charge....
depends on perspective I suppose. Perfect people in charge if you are a .01%'er, not so much for everyone else.
Does this mean Madoff gets the job now?
She is renegociateing her clawback clause for sure right now....
Hash tag anyone?
Thank you Twitter!
Trust me. It has absolutely nothing to do with the negative comments being generated through social media and everything to do with the trail of "puss" she left behind her at JPM...
Smart "bitch". Why would she be that stupid given the damage she's already inflicted while her counterparts higher up the org chart are willing to hang her out to dry while they "disappear"?...
If I were her I'd be looking for the best plastic surgeon in Manhattan and a one way ticket with no address like all the other international bankers that have been flying the coop for the last year.
Wonder is she's "scared shitless..."
"If I were her I'd be looking for the best plastic surgeon in Manhattan and a one way ticket with no address like all the other international bankers that have been flying the coop for the last year."
Errrr. that wil be somewhere along the M40 NW of London UK, then, No???
Al Waleed and JPMorgue will slay TWTR soon!!! wait and watch
lizzy borden took an axe, gave the silver market forty whacks

Do you think John Kerry will resign, after taking his lead from the Masters?
There is soon to be a whole bunch of kids graduating from schools all over the USA expecting to walk right into a finance industry position earning $1 million per year.
Not only will this not happen,but guess WHO is going to be on the hook for their student loans? STUDENT LOANS? YES YOUR SOAKING IN IT...
Beware of the bait and switch here... Pretending to nominate someone that gets a HUGE NEGATIVE REACTION, then sneaking someone only half as bad in afterwards... like some other ex-JPM employee. Basically exactly what happened with Summers/Yellen. Obama needed to nominate a woman to a high-profile post to quash all those who say he only surrounds himself with men, etc., etc. He also needed a guaranteed money printer in there so the markets don't fall on his watch. They leak Summers name... and after the financial press tears him to pieces, goes crazy on Twitter, Bloomberg, etc... Obama 'does the right thing' and goes with Yellen. And just like that we have Bernanke #2. Joke.
That was exactly what happened at the Consumer Financial Protection thingie. Trial balloon Elizabeth Warren, get huge negative response and then put in a bozo who is a patsy to WS.
Some people rant about Obama being liberal, but he is more conservative than 90% of the republicans since WWII and WS got their patsy....
I think you're getting your Federal Agency Acronyms mixed up. Warren was nominated to run the CFPB.
"Occasional" F bomb???? That's funny.
Somebody had counted 45 or so last time I looked. Headed for a record maybe.
One more...her head on a fucking pike. Where are the Scots when you need them?
Speaking of F bombs where is longsoupline, 45 f-bombs would be on the low side for a single post of his. As the kids like to use grandose language to describe their mundane existances, his rants are epic.
Let their battle cry be heard: "STFATL!!!" as they just keep stooping lower and lower!
So.... twitter isn't as useless as people say.
That was the worst idea since hiring Corzine's boy, Gary the Gollum Gensler
Yeah gee that's great and everything, but WHO appointed her in the first place? Obviously not someone with any sound judgement.
Shaming people through Twitter is lots of fun.
The CFTC and Blythe will now learn why you never give an inch. The mob has momentum.
Histically, against WS, the mob has not done much.
Cue feminist outrage.
Not for the wrong kind of white woman. Just ask Sarah. And you never have to worry about Hillary, NOW has got her back no matter what.
Blythe ain't as stupid as her Barbie-doll face would make you think. She has taken notice of the rash of bankster "suicides" and doesn't want to be the next bitch on that list.
http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=33&d=791
Yes! Power to the (blogging) people!
Hey Blythe bend over... My back shots will make you hit the high notes!
They'll hire someone from goldman instead, dont worry
SELL YOUR TWITTER STOCK NOW! HOLDER IS ABOUT TO GET VERY INTERESTED IN THEIR INNER WORKINGS
Angry twitter didn't work for Bernanke or Obama.
Maybe she was just trolling punk mah fuckers.
She was the definition of honesty and integrity
Her denial is an admission of guilt
A custom made guillotine is having steel forged as we speak....
" ... can Ms. Masters also please advise what other markets she was manipulating ? "
Hey guy, unless you want to hear her talking until Christmas 2015, you'd better learn to ask the good question : what other markets wasn't she manipulating ?
<<<Perhaps there is some justice in the world
Not much.
Hey Tyler you think you could launch a twitter campaign on a few other outrageous folk... Holder Clinton Obama Boehner.... The list goes on and on.
They say it was Twitter, but you know that bitch saw the backlash on ZeroHedge! I, for one, dropped 2 "fuck you, Blyth Masters!!!" bombs on that thread, and I even ran a count on the word "Fuck" that appeared just within the first 250 comments or so...came to nearly 50. I'm sure that may have quadrupled prior to this revelation.
The Wicked Witch got some serious ZH-2-O dumped on her yesterday. Ya gotta love it. I don't use Titter, so I don't know how educated the Twitterverse is compared to the typical ZH'er who has been following on here for the past 4 years or so. But I gotta believe that ZH had more to do with her backing out than Twitter did. JMHO
And with that I will say one last time (for today maybe): FUCK YOU, BLYTHE MASTERS!!!
there...that's better... :-)
Keep stackin', bitchez!!! That Ag isn't just going to be layin' around at 20 bucks a pop forever ya know!!! Get it now while you still can.
Looks like Blythe didn't like my post...thanks for the down-vote, biatch!!! ;-) lol
Last night the NSA recorded MULTIPLE conversations between Jon Corzine and Jamie Dimon. Apparently, it sounded like Horshack from Welcome back Carter, "oooh, oooh, me, me, me, me, me!"
Subsequently the observed many attempted, unanswered calls from the esteemed Corzine to Dimon...
This validates the reason we are all here and do what we do. There really is no hope in a country when there is no free speech.
Now just get that WS stooge and patsy acting Chairman Mark Wetjen out
Exactly. He should be fired for offering her the position in the first place.
I hope the door slapped her on the ass on the way out! I'm glad she turned it down but the more sinister story is that she was even offered the job! US Regulation, Checks and Balances is a thing of the past in America. Trust no one and give no quarter. Protect yourself and family and rely on NO ONE! Especially the Government. All Governments (except Iceland). Iceland has a Model Government for all countries to emulate.
"Blythe Masters Withdraws From CFTC"
At last! She's been fucking them in the ass for years.
Would have been better to let her in, so, perhaps somewhere down the line we got a headline like this....
CFTC Advisory Board member indicted for insider trading, and manipulating multiple commodity markets.
Time for another Stacy Keach improvisation?...
Blythe has only reiterating Assistant Secretary of State Nuland opinion of the public. You have to understand this is Jamies world now. Of course these people can not walk in public without armed gaurds and even then they are not accepted in public establishments.
Uh oh; how does that saying about a woman scorned go again?
I feel a silver smack down a comin'.
And lo and behold the new way for the masses to exert some power over the elites that apparently they actually listen to. Thousands marching in the streets, no real affect. Twitter protest, well that gets their attention. Odd really but you go with what works best. Let your Twitter voices ring people!
Full disclosure, I've never used Twitter so I pretty much suck and have no idea what I'm talking about.
They'll just insinuate some lesser known devil onto the committee; sort of like substituting Namaah for Lilith.
I actually hope TPTB make the ultimate over reach, trying to take away people's technology in an obvious power grab. Can you imagine the masses going absolutely ape shit if they didn't have access to the internet and social media on their iShit? As much as I appreciate what Snowden did, it's too bad the NSA didn't go full retard (as far as we know) in their spying and attempted control of the masses. That blowback is about the only thing that could short circuit the entire NWO plan in short order. But TPTB are sociopaths, so I'm confident they will still do it when things get bad enough for them.
Proof positive we can defeat these bastards, just like their rolling out the police state is proof positive they are terrified of us.
^+1000. I hope you're right.
I like it when Tyler and ZHers Slay those fucking crooks!
Hey Blythe.
This country had a revolution to get rid of people like you and your family.
Did they fill that lead role for '50 Shades of Grey yet? Maybe she could start a new career.......
One down, hundreds to go.
John Corzine for CFTC chairman!
Might be a sale on silver coming, time to stock up
The US doesn't make much of anything - "Idle hands are the devil's workshop"....
Should be a law against these thugs migrating to government agencies after they have trashed the economy. Except some would argue JP Morgan and the government are one and the same, as are the rest of the too big to fails.
Thank God for small mercies.
It was just a test, dip the toe into cold water and see what happens.
It wasn't twitter that did it, though it helped set the mood.
People have been bitching about her forever. Some twitter twatter by itself cannot be anything new. There have been tweet campaigns launched against her before.
She did not just read ZH and get religion.
Her appointment was no stalking horse.
Think about it.
Think hard if you need to.
She was threatened in a credible manner.
I believe you may be right MsC. Some heavy duty shit is starting to happen in the background. Hard to tell out here on the street just who pulled the knives. We just see withdraws, and 'Sucides' etc.
I/We are left watching the shadows move trying to decern meaning.
.
...... but where is Jon Corzine?
Give me a break....I don't believe for a second that a bunch of angry tweets had anything to do with this decision. Like they give a fuck what twitter users of the world think---a great many are bots anyway. Instead of rejoicing that this evil wench isn't going to be the arsonist in charge of the fire department, I would like to know the real reasons she's not infiltrating the CFTC.
I think it much more likely that she didn't think so many people would know about this move and she & JPM thought they could slide it through unnoticed. Someone just as bad (or worse) will be put in that position instead, watch.
I'm sure an honest feller like Jeff Christian would do the honours.
F-bombs fucking work -- what can Tyler say?
Masters deserves to be slammed. Blythe to the CFTC would have gone down in history as one of the dark hallmarks of the banker coup d'etat over self-government.
Ding, Dong ... blah, blah, blah, blah.
Who cares about the markets she was manipulating. Just tell us the ones she is going to manipulate.
I'd like to withdraw from Blythe Masters...
Then make a deposit all over her face.
Then tell her to go get her fuckin' shinebox.
Blythe Masters withdraws CFTC.... We must have peak deception!
Now if only the atrogan,narcissistic , Lying illegal alien POS would follow suit.
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
This is interesting..https://www.facebook.com/pages/We-Are-the-People-TNT/606733366070985
A movement to raise awareness of the wrongdoing and abuse of power that is occurring within the US Banking System in regards to the GCR (Global Currency Reset) and revaluation of specific currencies. The US Banking System has allowed thousands of wealthy clients to exchange currencies at preferred rates while holding these rates from the global currency markets and the general banking public in order to manipulate the system and make profits. This movement is an appeal to those in power in the US Administration to put an end to these actions and make this fair and right for the whole world.
Goody, A bit like what happened to the JPM twitter talk that backfired.
"Blight" Masters has withdrawn for "family reasons". Kinda like appointing Kissinger the head of the 9-11 commission.
Never doubt it...The slaves have the real power!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDnNVpJbWv4
I am Spartacus!
Blythe was blithe in her response to allegations that she mastered the poisoning of price discovery like a deadly blight.
Color me shocked, there's still some justice left in this world...
And we all have Bitcoin to thank for it.
:)
CANDYMAN CANDYMAN CANDYMAN!!
low today of 651! Only off a MERE $400 from the recent high of 1050 in the ages old era of 12 days ago.

One night with her out in the countryside and she'd never go back to her day job.
Just like the used car a ZH'er bought. great shape for the age but very, very high mileage!
Congrats ZH, you are no longer on the outside looking in....
I'd still bang her
5.56 or 9mm?
Great work in keeping one more rat bastard from the criminal syndicate freak show go round. Likely goon-a take much more than twitter to kick out the rest of our so called elected representative government. Lying rabid thieving, no good jackasses, in bed with criminal banksters. Each and every one needs booted by peaceful means or otherwise to save our republic.
I wonder how many blumpkins she has given Jaime D?
"The regulator may include another executive from New York-based JPMorgan..."
You can imagine the four letter words Obama was getting on that one.Allowing that crooked c*nt into office.
The Internet, is there anything it cannot do? Its empowering ordinary people, wiping out or changing entire industries (music, cable, video, pizza shops, banking, car dealerships, travel agents, monoply taxi franchases, magazines, education, newspapers, and soon, poolitics.
MILF
"M" anipulator?
who is the idiot who thought it was a good idea to hire her, should be let go as well.
He's the President.
backdoor barry has more aliases than a biker convention.
At a bath-house.
Were these murders ever resolved?
"As a member of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Trinity Baptist Church, Obama was known to have a close friendship with Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of the church. Young was murdered execution-style on December 23, 2007, just as Obama began his climb toward the Presidency. Another gay member of the church, Larry Bland, had also been killed execution-style a month earlier. Both cases remain unsolved. Donald Young's mother believes to this day that he was killed in order to silence him."
On the other hand, now that you have the free time, Blythe will you marry me? You can't expect me to keep asking forever.
Oh, who am I kidding - of course I'll keep asking!
I'm sure that your marriage will work out well.
Just be aware, however, that your 25th wedding anniversary may cause Blythe undue, severe and inexplicable stress.
re Blythe Masters Withdraws ...
...withdraws a tumescent penile prosthesis from the taxpayers rectum...
gives it back to Hillary, and says: "My job here is done..."
Back to sucking off Dimon under his desk you diabolical whore...
she can always go to work for the imf,
or is that im a milf? or imlf ,,,,
This woman is what we would call a "winner", "a producer" and a "job creator". Attacks on the rich and productive are part of a smear campaign against our country's hardest workers and smartest workers, our leaders in economic propserity. I read on some blogs that Obama and his gang are the ones who have set off this purge of the productive and successful American leaders of finance, business and industry. Jealous rabble, i.e. the lower orders of American are only too happy to take time out from shopping with their snap cards and sighning up their brood of illegitimate kids for free school lunches, to take part in the socialist attacks against the producers in our free, fair and open markets economy.
This woman is victim of a jealous smear campaign, envy for her good looks, hard work and success has boiled over among the lower classes who are not fit to twitter about a "winner", as they are losers.
I think we will see more of the popular rabble attacking those who built this nation and it's economy. Soon perhaps smears will abound at our economic leaders in the highly wealth producing corporate world of finance and banking. These two are 10% of the entire GDP, a jobs creation engine that , if we smear it , will cease to be an engine for economic prosperity. Many blogs have pointed out this campaign of smear against the 1%, I expect worse to come. Her great contribution to our economy has now been cast aside, and we will suffer for it in lower GDP and less free and prosperous markets. We must not throw out our most talanted people on the whim of jealous fools.
Yep, corruption and massive market rigging really are admirable qualities.
Troll of the week. Well done! <sniffles and wipes tear away>
I gave that a green arrow. You see, I can take comments critical of my posts. We all should relax and accept some people don't like what we post.
Mr. 49 weeks, By this time you should know the posters and their stance.
There are indeed trolls here, and they should be called out.
But, first decern who they are. The only thing missing from Jack's posts are the /sarc but at this stage he shouldn't be required to use it.
in the cycle of credit and leverage creation
the cheerleaders are goddesses and princes; on the
down trend they become whores and clowns.
the thing is it is not about personal identity , ad
hominem, but about principle and discernable truths or reality?
perhaps fundamentals as they reveal information characterising
structure and function, at particular times revealing fraud
and incompetent design, man made, structure and ridiculous
dis-function. dis functioning as designed to steal resources
and services from the uninitiated, non-specific-tribal persons,
(the people), and their stuff (space,place and time).
Putting a fox in charge of the hen house never results in freer more prosperous hens.
Blythe Masters does not belong on a government regulatory committee.
1) Way too smart.
2) Not going to sit around all day surfing porn sites on the web.
She would not fit in.
Funny!
Is that you Blythe?
LMAO. Beautiful Jack.
Vaporub
By God you're right Jack! I won't stand for this War on Women!
Brought a tear to my eye, I nearly got my MillionDollarBonus_ soaked.
LOL - well done.
"The regulator may include another executive from New York-based JPMorgan on the committee..."
So how is this any better than having Blythe on there?
It'll be her "twin" sister, Betty.
And Blythe becomes both a Shadow Advisor and a Shadow Banker.
It would give me nothing but pleasure to know Ms Masters reads ZH, and know what we think. ;-)
If you do you hateful cunt, let it be known, we dont fucking like you, you filthy criminal cunt.
:-)
Fucking bitch
Inthemix96, Your friendly NSA has taken note of your attitude, it has been noted! Your name is moving up the list of dubious Americans who may need to be sorted out for national security reasons. If we let this go by, what will you say next!?!?!?
Fucking shit loads my friend.
Let them pop over here and nick me then. Remind the fuckers to wrap up warm and be careful of silent quarter inch ball bearings. I hear they could be lethal.
:-)
Is that really a picture of her? If so, no one that good looking should be that evil.
The fact that she did not resign from cell block D is what amazes me.
Oh wait.....
Folks have had just about enough of these inbred happy horsecock shenanigans.
This is totally off topic, but I want to mention it. I have read the main stream press this morning, in regards to the winter olympics. By all accounts it is a full blown disaster! Perhaps the games should just shut down and call it a day. Such utter disaster should not be making life so hard and difficult for the sportsmen and women of the world. We all knew this was going to be unworkable and a failure. So shut them down now before things go from very bad to worse. I thank our hard working media for keeping ME a well informed person. In a free democarcy like ours, our media is a model for the world. I suggest you read the main stream American media every morning, so YOU can also start your day with, "all the facts, worth knowing". Fucking Russia, did anyone believe THEY could hold an olympics, it should have been in the USA where it would have been a success and showcase a real prosperous democracy and free people at their best. Russia sucks, we now have it first hand from the media. Good job you hard working free media reporters!!! Who knew that the USSR would flub the olympics?
Jack mate, that is either superb sarc or someones hijacked your account.
You feeling alright mate? Need a touch of medication or a few pints?
;-)
ITM. It's the former. Vintage Jack.
No Sarc needed for us that know him. (you knew it was in your heart ITM).
"Have'ya paid your dues Jack? Yes sir, the check's in the mail"
Samsara ;-)
Hes a clever fucker is Jack, shaking the tree again.....
:-)
Agreed, I woke up in that mood today! Something about the State Department telling the EU to get fucked on tape, and the main stream media pssing all over the olympics just get my blood up!
Jack: "Ah, I don't get it!"
Lopan: "Shut up Mr. Burton, you were not put on this earth to, Get It!"
Stray dogs, dilapidated buildings, undrinkable water.....sounds like Detroit minus the free shit army playing knockout games.....
