  • “That certainly throws a wrench into the CFPB’s argument,” said Chris Willis, a partner at the law firm Troutman Pepper Locke.
  • “The CFPB added this as an argument at the last minute, but they haven’t abandoned any of the other arguments — they are just saying that now they don’t have any funding,” Willis said.
  • “It’s very counterproductive for them to close the agency when they are doing a bunch of rulemakings that the industry would like to see completed,” Willis said.
