Obama Car Czar Banned from Securities Industry

Thursday, 14 Oct 2010 09:31 AM

Steven Rattner is near a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a probe of corruption at New York state’s pension fund, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Rattner, 58, is the co-founder of Quadrangle Group LLC, a New York-based private-equity firm he has since left. The proposed agreement includes a two-year ban from the financial industry and a $6 million fine, according to the person, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. In June, the SEC proposed a three-year ban, while Rattner suggested one to two years, a person with knowledge of those negotiations said at the time.

"Rattner allegedly paid $1.1 million in finder fees to Henry “Hank” Morris, the former chief political consultant to ex-New York Comptroller Alan Hevesi, according to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. In exchange, Quadrangle received an investment from the fund, said Cuomo, who settled his probe of the firm earlier this year for $7 million."

Important to note who left him off the hook

Lots of the Obama czars will end up eventually in jail.

No wonder most of the Obama regime insiders are running for the exits.

2 year ban? BS. People with no money who make minor mistakes/indiscretions and cannot afford expensive attorneys are routinely banned for life from the securities industry.

Scum like Rattner pay bribes to get pension business.

Incestuousness breeds hemophilia and insanity/mental conditions.

Physically, and, politically.

Vanity Fair magazine runs an article on him every other month, trying to ‘explain’ his crimes. he is such a creep, he wants to be Treasurer of the US. I hope he goes to jail.

Now, do you understand the benefits of having money and being able to buy your sentence from the judge. Poor people don’t deserve the same sentence because they can’t pay for it.
