Bilal and Bruce: The Tipline for 15 October 2019

GCR USA is back in your inboxes after taking the day off to celebrate Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples’ Day for those in the nation’s capital. The first order of business is bidding an early farewell to Bruce Hoffman, director of the Bureau of Competition at the US Federal Trade Commission, who will be parting ways with the agency next month. Taking his place as head of the bureau is Ian Conner, who has been serving as deputy director since September 2017.
