“Bessent ‘Inadvertently’ Failed to Report Holdings of JPMorgan Stock
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s finances were reviewed by the inspector general after Mr. Bessent incorrectly listed at least $100,000 of the stock, which was owned by his husband, as cash.”
—The New York Times

We’d think the Treasury’s top hand
Would get his net worth right.
Apparently a hundred grand
Is just an oversight
When you’re worth seven hundred mil.
No wonder that Scott’s bets
On schools of big fish give us chills.
Mere minnows slip his nets.
