In 2011, Carmen Segarra took a job as a regulator at Goldman Sachs
for the New York Fed. It was an opportunity, she believed, to
monitor the big bank's behavior in order to avoid another financial
crisis. Shocked to discover that Goldman did not have a conflict of
interest policy, she immediately issued a report. But her superiors
pressured her to modify the report, covering up her discovery. It
was then that she realized the full extent of the collusion between
Goldman and the Fed and began to record meetings and conversations
with her superiors. When she refused to change her report, Segarra
was dismissed from her job. Shortly thereafter she released her
audio recordings, exposing the Fed's inefficiency in holding the
bank accountable. In this hard-hitting expose, Segarra chronicles
her experience blowing open the doors on the macro-level
corruption, ineffectiveness, and illegal behavior of the big banks
and the government bodies set up to regulate them. From the moment
she became a whistleblower, countless employees of regulatory
bodies and banks have come to Segarra to share testimonies of
cover-ups they have witnessed. In Noncompliant, she reveals how
common these practices are, and shows how the culture of corruption
that is not only accepted but encouraged in these companies filters
down to the individual employees. In the process of unraveling
these connections, she explains to readers how, ultimately, this
systemic corruption affects us all.
