Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) Burgeoning Sex Scandal Pits Biden Against His Biggest Backers At Critical Moment

 A new 234-page report sheds light on a pervasive culture of sexual harassment plaguing a major federal entity under the watch of President Joe Biden.

The incidents reported to the firm, the report said, "Did not occur in a vacuum," and were rather the result of a "Misogynistic," "Patriarchal," "Insular" and "Outdated" workplace.

"Women in one field office recounted how, to their dismay, it became routine to hear their supervisor talk about their breasts and legs and his sex life," the report stated.

"A woman examiner reported on the shock of receiving a picture of an FDIC senior examiner's private parts out of the blue while serving on detail in a field office, only to be told later by others in that field office that she should stay away from him because he had a 'reputation,'" the firm reported.

"[A]ccording to the FDIC's own public reporting, of the ninety-two harassment complaints made through its Anti-Harassment Program in the nine year period from 2015 to 2023, not a single one resulted in removal, reductions in grade or pay, or any discipline more serious than a suspension," the report stated, adding that of those harassment complaints, two suspensions, two letters of reprimand, and twelve warnings were administered.

Throughout the process of the investigation, the firm was required to follow union protocols put in place at the FDIC. "For bargaining unit employees, we informed them whether they were being interviewed as potential subjects or witnesses, of their right to union representation at the interview should they reasonably believe the interview may result in disciplinary action against them, and that the interview would be scheduled to allow them an opportunity to seek the counsel of a union representative if they wished to do so," the report notes.

Gruenberg was named in the report for having a reputation for his temper, as some employees recounted times he "Chewed [them] out" and threw papers against the wall in anger.
