Has anyone ever held a position at a big bank or investment firm who later held a position at the Fed or Treasury?

Certainly. But you probably knew that.

Who owns the Fed? Who does the Fed work for?

The Federal Reserve Board is appointed by the US government and the board members' salaries are set by the government, so you could say that the taxpayers own it.

The network of regional Federal Reserve Banks are owned by the federally chartered banks in their region but all operating profits from the entire system go to the US Treasury. The "owning" banks get a fixed dividend on the capital they contribute but earn no profits.

But you probably knew that.

Are Fed chairpersons really peons/automatons.

Jerome Powell is the current chairman and Trump certainly doesn't think he's an automaton.

But you probably knew that.

How much does the Fed chairman make in a year?

The 2019 salary, as set by Congress, is $203,500.

But you probably knew that.

Who was the president who signed the Federal Reserve Act? When was it passed?

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson.

But...never mind.

What did he later say about what he had done?

Probably lots of things. Is there something in particular that you want to discuss?

Did anyone who owns/controls the Fed become wealthier during the financial crisis of '08?

Don't know. The author of this article implies that they must have but offers zero evidence

If not wealthier, after helping to cause the crisis did they escape unscathed?

Not entirely. They suffered some reputational damage.

Who was bailed out?

Lots of financial institutions as well as parts of the auto industry.

What word do 'banks' and 'central banks' have in common?

Banks.

What do they both handle? What do they do with what they both handle?

I assume you're talking about money?

They both are concerned with it but do very different things. Most banks hold and lend money. The central bank primarily decides monetary policy.

Do you have some point you would like to make or do you think that if you just ask enough inane questions people will think there must be something to your conspiracy theory?

We have a wide audience, with many different backgrounds. What may seem inane to someone who is part of the money game, is an eye opener for those who are unaware of the deceptions, behind the scenes machinations, and revolving door controllers of central banks, treasuries, and big investment bankers.

But you probably already know this.

The only place our little discussion is going is bringing a tiny fraction of what you 'money changers' do to enable the beast [government] to light.

If prostitution is the oldest profession, when did the 'money changers' appear?

Your days are numbered.
