Commerce Secretary Ross admits lapses in asset reporting after warning

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Thursday admitted ethical lapses in reporting on his financial assets and said he would sell all of his remaining stocks after a federal ethics agency warned of the “potential for a serious criminal violation.”

In January 2017, Ross pledged to sell his stake in his main private equity firm and resign from corporate boards. In an ethics agreement, the billionaire investor vowed to sell shares in Invesco Ltd, the parent company of W.L. Ross & Co, valued at up to $50 million.

On Thursday, Ross said in a statement: “I have made inadvertent errors in completing the divestitures required by my ethics agreement.”




Must be nice to be above the law. :/

He was also a democrat before 2016 and a Republican after.

These guys holdings are like the worlds largest spiderweb, it is incredibly hard to keep track of it.
I struggle to keep track of mine and i have about 0.7% of what a guy like this has.
As cam said, the guy reported it and dealt with it, so no harm done.

why 'deal with it'? you guys don't seem to be bothered at all that he sells out america to his buddies and that he breaks most of the promises that people used as excuse to vote for him while at the same time pretending they didn't really like him and his divisive rhetoric (like the wall and mexico paying for it; best healthcare in the world; taxbreaks for the middle class and none for rich people; draining the swamp; balancing the budget; releasing his taxes...).

american politics is pure tribalism at this point: as long as he attacks muslims, brown and black people, evil democrats, and every media outlet critical of him, you guys keep making excuses for his incompetence, corruption and cronyism. i haven't seen ONE cultist outraged about that blatantly corrupt ZTE deal, his staggering hypocrisy concerning producing and buying american, or his cabinet full of swamp monsters. that's why it's correctly described as a cult, the dear leader just can do no wrong...
