a former SEC commissioner

Eh, that's a pretty vanilla pick. Like, not another Gaetz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_S._Atkins

He was a Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008

From 1990 to 1994, Atkins served on the staff of two former chairmen of the SEC, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt.

He was in a closely-associated spot under Bush Senior, Clinton, and Bush Junior administrations.

Sure, he's not Sam Bankman Fried. That said he headed the SEC during a deregulatory period that finished with the 2007-8 crisis. And he advocates for capital markets deregulation today.
