For this he earned considerable criticism, both from politicians and society as well as colleagues and generated considerable media coverage. Especially in connection with the intensive bailout for the banking industry around the world due to the international financial crisis, this statement is highly controversial.

Nash, Jr. earned the conference high media interest, which was reported of in newspaper articles and in numerous interviews.
