This is just silly - here we have someone lecturing us about economics who describes herself as a "Rogue Economist" - so are we expected to buy this analysis because she is an orthodox economist (which is how it reads), or because she is a "rogue economist"?

More significantly, the line "While we may dislike the government’s regulation and intervention into financial markets, their oversight prevents moral hazard and rampant fraud." is just laugh-out-loud funny - we've seen PLENTY of moral hazard and rampant fraud in orthodox financial markets, on a scale which is simply mind-boggling in comparison to anything happening at Mt.Gox.
