The Center was able to identify 1,556 former members of Congress, Capitol Hill staffers and executive branch employees among the 3,000 financial reform lobbyists. But the actual number of feds-turned-FinReg-lobbyists could be higher:
The Centers examination of financial reform lobbying disclosure data for all of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 found only about one-third of lobbyists who were once on the governments payroll listed their former jobs. The remaining 1,000 did not report their government ties on the disclosure forms analyzed by the Center.
