Seattle Sleuth Sinks Suspicious Stocks

It’s not often you hear about someone actually wanting to work for the SEC but Yolanda Holtzee, the sweatpants-wearing, bagel-eating star of an article in today’s Wall Street Journal, is among the few: “I wish I were a securities regulator sometimes,” she wrote recently in an email. “I would very much enjoy levying fines on StanLEH Morgan and making Gary Lynch cry like a baby!” In addition to trolling the internet in the middle of the night seeking out signs of corporate malfeasance, Ms. Holtzee also collects dolls and, oh yeah, manages money, with an emphasis on the beverage, metals and financial services sectors. “If I could have hired her, we would have had an endless stream of cases,” says a former senior official at the SEC.
