Well people within a certain area of expertise will have worked in said area, so it should come as no surprise that the largest corporations used to employ people who are now "government" experts. Where these people "come from" isn't actually indicative of the situation.
The revolving door system is more indicative.
And the lobby groups, the money, the influence peddling, these things are what you need to look for.
I used to work as a stock broker. Doesn't mean I'm a profiteering scumbag, geddit?

Yeah the revolving door between industry and government regulation is illegal in most developed countries. But not the US.

It is? How is that enforced? I honestly didn’t know. Even in Germany?

I guess they have long waiting periods of several years if you change from one to the other. In the US there is no such waiting period.
