That FTC guy who went "ha ha! I actually hate the Telecom industry and I will restore net neutrality!". Except he needed only 2 panels.

Do tell us the story - who is this?

Tom Wheeler. Sorry, I had to look up the name. He succeeded the professional ass clown that was Ajit Pai, seemed like another Republican Telecom shill coming from the industry to further errode the regulatory agency.

Turns out he had made his start in Telecom and the big players ate up his small company. He seemed to have joined them but he secretly had an ax to grind or at least the public's best interest in mind.

Top notch guy. Greatest anime betrayals right there.
