"I was as secretive — indeed, as furtive — as any conspirator ... if it were to be exposed publicly that our particular group had got together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress."

Credibility & evidentiary value

A participant's own published admission that a secret 1910 meeting of bankers drafted what became the Federal Reserve Act. DOCUMENTED that the meeting and secrecy were real; sweeping 'the Fed is a private cabal controlling everything' claims go far beyond this and are CONTESTED/SPECULATIVE.
