“It is only by working together that we may create a regulatory system that truly serves us all.”

—Publius

Publius writes in the spirit of support for our country and the opportunities it provides—believing that, as citizens, it is our duty to speak up when one witnesses a history of regulatory overreach and abuse of power from our government agencies.

Through our common First Amendment right, Publius hopes these articles will lead to improvements within the U.S. financial system to ensure regulatory agencies such as the SEC and FINRA are true, fair, and equal in design to all who wish to pursue them.


Publius is an executive in the financial services industry who, for fairly obvious reasons, has chosen to remain anonymous.

Who was the “original” Publius?

“Publius” was originally used as a pseudonym by the authors of The Federalist Papers — Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay — to promote federalism and the ratification of the Constitution of the United States. The authors chose the name “Publius” in honor of Publius Valerius Poplicola, a leader of the revolution that ended the Roman Kingdom and ushered in the Roman Republic.
