Former Top Wall Street Regulator Takes Job Defending Firms 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
The man who once served as the Obama administration's lead enforcer on
Wall Street malfeasance has taken a job defending the firms he once
regulated. The New York Times reports Robert Khuzami, who left his post
as enforcement head of the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier
this year, has accepted a job at Kirkland & Ellis, one of the country's
largest corporate law firms. He is expected to earn more than $5 million
a year.
