The assets of the couple are partially linked to their dangers at ATKINS Consulting Company, Patomak Global Partners, and Tamko Building Products, a roofing company controlled by the Humphrez family. According to the financial disclosure announced on March 25 by the US Government Ethics Office, the family has 75 % of Tamko.
Atkins personally reached up to 78.8 million dollars in assets, including many holdings such as up to $ 15,000 of assets, and an organic interest ranging between $ 25 million and $ 50 million in Patomak, $ 250,000 and $ 500,000 in call options in Sucuritize, which is a platform for classifying real world assets, and between $ 100,000 and 100,000 dollars dollar.
On his confirmation, Atkins will be resigned as a CEO of Patomak and the abstraction of his ownership interests, including his stock options in Sucuritize. He previously held the position of SEC Commissioner from 2002 to 2008.
The assets were revealed before Atkins appeared before the Senate Banking Committee on March 27. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts, and the ranking of the Democratic Committee, urged Attins to handle his participation with FTX and other encrypted currency agents during the session.
Despite the possible scrutiny, Atkins may also receive support from some Republican members of the committee. For example, Senator Wyoming Sinaia Lomes, the strong defender of digital assets, expressed confidence that Atkins will quickly provide clearer regulations for the encrypted currency industry.
Atkins’s nomination session is the first time that American lawmakers have officially reviewed his candidacy since President Trump nominated him in December to replace former SEC President Gary Ginsler. After the departure of Jinsler on January 20, Commissioner Mark Oida was working as a prosecutor.
