Looking Back on David Vladeck’s Soon-to-be-Completed Tenure at the FTC

Next month, David Vladeck will a leave the helm of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection–by all accounts reinvograted under his dynamic leadership–to go back to Georgetown Law. Jeff Gelles, the Philadelphia Inquirer's consumer columnist, attempts to sum up David's tenure in a piece entitled "Consumer chief leaves FTC a feistier place." A snippet:

Speaking last week to the Consumer Federation of America, Vladeck
said his agency felt a special duty as it saw what happened after the
2008 financial collapse. Scammers were targeting the "last dollar" of
people who had already lost nearly everything – jobs, homes,
creditworthiness, even their hope.

It doesn't speak especially well of humanity, but the evidence is
abundant: People already on the edge are frequent targets for fraudsters
who promise to settle their debts, rescue them from foreclosure, dangle
new sources of income, or even promise bogus health insurance. Under
Vladeck, the FTC has pursued more than 100 cases against such predators,
often winning restitution and agreements barring the principals from
ever striking again.
