Mr. Traiger also served as an independent consultant for the New York Attorney General, overseeing compliance with that office’s settlement with a company that provides criminal background checks on prospective employees.

A prolific writer and researcher, Mr. Traiger’s research and statistical analysis of mortgage lending data has been cited in publications of the Federal Reserve Banks of San Francisco, Boston, and Dallas, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and in testimony before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.
