Carmen Segarra, the Wall Street whistleblower who secretly recorded 46 hours of private conversations with her fellow regulators — casting a light on the sometimes too cozy relationship between the New York Fed and the banks it oversees — is considering writing a book, The Post has learned.
Segarra, a lawyer, left her job at Barclays in New York earlier this month after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, in a March 3 speech, appeared to refer to Segarra’s rocky relationship with her then-Fed colleagues.
“It is important that anyone serving the Fed feel safe speaking up when they have concerns,“ Yellen said in her speech in New York City before the Citizens Budget Commission.
“It’s been an ongoing drain [for Segarra],” a person familiar with Segarra told The Post, talking about the publicity following her going public with her New York Fed issues.
Segarra does not yet have a book deal or even an agent, according to one person familiar with her plans.
Segarra’s 2011-2012 tapes were made public in September when WBEZ’s “This American Life” aired a report on regulators at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shrinking before bankers at Goldman Sachs over a “legal, but shady” deal.
