Masaccio 
Masaccio is the nom de plume for Edwin M. Walker. Ed is a Notre Dame grad, and got his law degree from Indiana University. He began his career as a corporate and securities lawyer in Columbus, Ohio. He was an Assistant Attorney General in Tennessee, working on consumer protection and securities cases for several years. He was the securities commissioner of Tennessee for three and a half years, where he focused on criminal prosecutions and abusive tax shelters. He practiced business and bankruptcy law for 25 years. Beginning with an expensive and slightly frightening experience with Small Martingale as a young man, he has seen, investigated, sued, and prosecuted a wide variety of fraud cases, including check-kiting, critter contracts, churning, insider trading, Ponzi schemes, embezzlement, and stock market manipulation. This background is helpful in his work for FDL, which focuses on explaining the financial industry of today. He can be reached at masaccio68 at gmail.com.
