Who Is Dan Jester?

Nice piece from William D. Cohen in the NY Times yesterday. The same man who penned "House Of Cards" chronicling the demise of Bear Stearns.

"Who the heck is Dan Jester? And why isn’t he telling us what he did during the A.I.G. bailout and other pivotal moments of the banking crisis?"

The reason that Dan Jester isn't spoken about by Geithner is that he was instrumental in helping Goldman Sachs and other country club investment banks avoid bankruptcy. Most of the shadow finance negotiations that went on was spearheaded by Dan Jester.

All I have to say is at least Obama has someone to replace Geithner with that Wall Street likes.
