    Post-Bloomberg Bloomberg

    If Michael Bloomberg wins the presidency, he will sell his eponymous company, campaign adviser Tim O'Brien has said. O'Brien: "There will be no confusion about any of his financial holdings blurring the line between public service and personal profiteering…We will be 180 degrees away from where Donald Trump is on these issues because Donald Trump is a walking financial conflict of interest."

  6. If a politician promises something then it's definitely going to happen.
    I mean, why would they lie?
     
  7. Mini-Mike playing fantasy. I love how none of his commercials mention that his work was primarily for wall street. As if he's an arms length away from that area workin for the poor.

    His original partner was Merrill Lynch and they could potentially still own some.

    If not I'm guessing the PE firms will want it. There was also gossip kicking around that ICE could be a buyer.
