Rattner Will Pay $10 Million to Settle Cuomo's New York Pension-Fund Probe

Steven Rattner, a co-founder of the private-equity firm Quadrangle Group LLC, will pay $10 million to settle kickback allegations involving New York’s pension fund, less than half of the $26 million state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sought in a lawsuit.

Rattner also agreed to be banned from appearing “in any capacity” before any public pension fund in the state for five years, the attorney general’s office said yesterday in an e- mailed statement. Cuomo, New York’s governor-elect, sought a lifetime ban from the securities industry.

Rattner, 58, helped overhaul General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC when he headed the U.S. government’s Automotive Task Force.

An Obama czar or Andrew Cuomo... it's difficult to decide who to dislike more.

I say be fair and dislike them both "equally". :-)

:thatsright:  Looks like the Obama administration found someone stupider than Sheila Jackson-Lee to work for them.
