NY’s top regulator eyeing move to private sector: source

Wall Street’s revolving regulator🦩y door is about to st꧃art spinning again.

Benjamin Lawsky, the superintendent o💟f the New York Department of Financial Services, which oversees banks and insurance companies, is considering leavin♌g his post and taking a job in the private sector.

Lawsky,🔥 an appointment by Gov. Cuomo, was the department’s first superintendent after Cuomo pushed to form the DFS in a consolida🦄tion of the state’s banking and insurance departments.

The watchdog, who has been instrumental in inflicting increased regula💮tory pain for banks 🐽like BNP Paribas and mortgage servicer Ocwen Financial, could leave his post at the beginning of 2015, a source told The Post.

There isn’t any specific offer Lawsky is considering, the source added —  or if he’d go work for one of the banks he’s currently policing.

“He loves his job and is very busy doing it to the best of his ability each day. He ha🐭sn’t decided on his plans for the future,” Matt Anderson, a DFS spokesman, told The Post.

The potential flight comes just one month after Lawsky told The Post that cybersecurity would be one of his office’s top pr🐼iorities for next year.

The change is being considered just ♊as Loretta Lynch, the US Attorney for the Eastern District, has been tapped as the White House’s nominee for Attorney General.
