Dealbreaker/ATL Town Maul Event Recap (Plus Photos!)

The Town Maul went down at Croton Reservior Tavern and was sponsored by SoFi. Thanks for dropping by!

Town Maul posterIf you couldn’t make the our event last week, you missed Democrats and Republicans coming together to agree that shadow banking is a thing and a “modern day Glass-Steagall” is not.

The Town Maul went down at Croton Reservior Tavern and was sponsored by SoFi. Our panel included CNBC “Big Money” reporter Lawrence Delevingne, Dealbreaker editor Thornton McEnery, and Above the Law editor Joe Patrice. I moderated.

You can see us all here (I’m the dark-skinned gentleman in the middle, and also, evidently, a giant):

It wasn’t just all fighting about Dodd-Frank, Bernie’s community bank utopia, and the strange distance the GOP field is keeping from Wall Street. We also played buzzword Bingo. This guy won a package from these two SoFi people:

Then he asked a question that I didn’t understand that Lawrence answered competently — I assume.

Thanks to everybody for coming. And thanks to the cops who were totally cool as I stumbled to Grand Central.
