[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wesley Heights below Cathedral. Some of the most expensive homes in DC. [/quote]

The Albrittons, Marriotts, Dezoretzs, Ludwigs, and Zientzs seem to agree.  [/quote]

The Ludwigs?  Who are they?[/quote]

One lives on Fox Hall.  Huge yard, pools, tennis courts, views of Va, yard art worth more than many houses.  A former bank CEO and consultant that made hundreds of millions or more as a consultant.  The other lives near by and has won many Tony awards and made millions writing plays and musicals. [/quote]

Ok - the guy is famous for having had no background in banking but somehow parlayed a job as a Clinton-era banking regulator into a lucrative career as a fixer for big banks.  Some are of the opinion that he shares some of the blame for the financial crash.  A classic revolving-door swamp creature.[/quote]

Huh?  The guy was a banking lawyer for 25 years before he became the Comptroller.  You are an idiot.  He may have ridden the revolving door but he was not a part of the problem that lead to the crash.  Frank Raines, Tim Geithner,  Barney Frank and a Paul Sarbanes guilty as not charged but not this guy.  [/quote]

Ludwig was an international trade lawyer at Covington.  He decided that banking would be more lucrative but when he somehow scored his appointment as a bank regulator he didn’t know much more about banking than how to use an ATM card.  But he knew how to  “fake it ‘till you make it.”  And yes, even though he was appointed by a Democrat, he pimped out the OCC to the big banks.  So yes, he bears some responsibility for the financial crash.[/quote]

Who cares?  Prestige isn’t defined by where a couple of old farts from York, Pennsylvania now live.[/quote]

It’s not who they are but where they live.  Have you bought one of the Cafritz’s old homes?  Didn’t think so.  [/quote]
