(SOURCE 6/11/15 NY POST) In 2011, longtime Clinton confidant, Doug Band joined the fledgling Teneo company ......and recruited Bill Clinton to be a member of the advisory board.
Teneo was promoted as a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.
Teneo clients paid staggering monthly retainers — up to $250,000 and reportedly were "encouraged" to give to the Clinton Foundation. In turn, foundation donors were encouraged to use the services of Teneo.
Teneo Clients included Bank of America, Dow Chemical, UBS Wealth Management and Coca-Cola.
The idea for Teneo was to have Fortune 400 companies pay large monthly stipends in exchange for access to Band, Clinton and their massive international network.
The group would ‘consult’ with the companies, offer strategic advice and help them overcome issues in various countries across the globe,” David Halper wrote in “Clinton Inc.”
But a former Teneo employee told Halper that what the clients really got was nothing, other than an “implicit promise of access to Clinton.....and to his wife at the State Dept.
Clinton was the key to Teneo’s success. “The companies paid b/c they needed access to the ex-president,” a source told Halper. “It was he who Teneo was selling to their corporate clients.
Or, more precisely, it was their proximity to power — ex-President Clinton, and his wife, who was then secretary of state — and their Rolodexes, which were a natural extension of the work they had done over the years for the Clintons.”
In exchange for access, Bill Clinton was given a contract with Teneo worth $3.5 million, Halper said. It is unclear, however, how much Clinton was actually paid.
===================================================
A short time later Hillary's top aide was given a special deal --- Huma Abedin worked for the US State Dept and as a consultant----Teneo was one of her clients.
NOTE: When L/E investigated the Orgy Island case involving underage prostirutes, they invovered Doug Band And Bill CLinton listed/ 21 phone nos and email addresses.
L/E recognizes multiple phone nos as the MO for money laundering and tax evasion......perhaps mail fraud.
In another infamous Teneo deal, Bill Clinton pocketed $50,000 a month from Jon Corzine's hedge fund....which misplaced $1.3 Billion client funds.
Then-US Sen Clinton and Sen Corzine.
