+## Arc history
+
+Yellen entered canon in January 2023 endorsing the arrest of [[characters/g-edward-griffin|G. Edward Griffin]]: "We should throw more conspiracy theorists in cages. The biggest threat to our democracy is for individuals to learn how money really works" ([[news/g-edward-griffin-charged-with-attempt-to-ensite-bank-run-more-arrests-to-follow|G. Edward Griffin Charged With Attempt To Incite Bank Run]]).
+
+Four days later she announced the Treasury's joint marketing campaign with Hasbro to put [[characters/mr-monopoly|Mr. Monopoly]] on the $100 bill, replacing Benjamin Franklin, in order "to engage the youth in using the dollar to prevent them from becoming interested in cryptocurrencies." Her mother vouched for her credentials: "Janet learned everything she knows about money from playing Monopoly with me as a kid" ([[news/mr-monopoly-to-replace-benjamin-franklin|Mr. Monopoly to Replace Benjamin Franklin On $100 Bill]]).
