    • Monsanto’s lobbying clout

      July 25, 2015 at 8:16am

      Central to the argument over labeling genetically modified food is the point raised by opponents, who say that government regulators have declared the practice safe.

    • Ex-Surgeon General Antonia Novello pleads not guilty

      New York politicians and political appointees are falling faster than bank stocks these days.

      The latest to be criminally charged is former U.S. Surgeon General Antonia Novello, who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to forcing state employees to work overtime to handle her personal chores when she was New York’s health commissioner from 1999 to 2006.

      In a case reminiscent of the one that ended the career of former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to using state workers to chauffeur his wife, Novello faces a 20-count indictment charging her with theft of government services, defrauding the government and filing a false instrument.

      Now an executive with Disney Children’s Hospital at Florida Hospital in Orlando, Novello, 64, could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

      It is a huge fall from grace for the politically connected physician and public health administrator. When George H.W. Bush appointed her Surgeon General in 1990, she was the first Puerto Rican and the first woman to serve in that job.

      Novello has long been a darling of the Republican Party, as well as a star in the public health world. During her tenure as Surgeon General, which continued until 1993, Novello focused on the health of women, children and minorities, as well as on underage drinking, smoking, and AIDS.

      But she was controversial among abortion rights advocates for supporting a policy prohibiting family planning program workers who received federal aid from discussing abortion with their patients.

      When former New York Gov. George Pataki, a Republican, appointed her health commissioner in 1999, she was considered a catch for New York.

      But almost from the start, there were complaints from those who worked with her. A scathing, January, 2009 report by state Inspector General Joseph Fisch found that she habitually abused the services of four state health department employees, requiring them to serve as her personal chauffeurs for shopping trips, driving around visiting relatives, buying her groceries, moving furniture and even watering the plans in her apartment when she was out of town.

      Medicaid fraud investigator Noreen Schifini, told state investigators that she was too busy driving the commissioner to Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue, among other destinations in New York City, to carry a portfolio of investigations.

      On numerous occasions, the report found that Novello had state workers drive her or her mother from the Albany area to Newark Liberty International Airport, roughly 300 miles round trip, to fly to Puerto Rico for personal business.

      On one occasion, she purchased a heavy statue of Buddha during a shopping excursion in Troy, N.Y., then required a Health Department security guard to move it into her apartment, and then a few days later move it to another spot in her home because she didn’t like how it looked, according t the report.

      Security guards who acted as her drivers said in interviews with state investigators that she would embarrass and yell at them if they did not do things the way she wanted and expected them to be at her beck and call at all hours.

      Fisch referred the case to Albany County District Attorney David Soares’ office, which brought the case to a grand jury.

      Novello’s attorney, E. Stewart Jones, said the charges were politically motivated and should have been addressed in a lawsuit, not a criminal case.

      “She is here because she has a bull’s-eye on her back,” he told the Asssociated Press. “Because politics is a contact sport. Because there are people who are vindictive and who wanted to get her ever since she left the state.”

      The investigation against Novello started in July 2007 under former Inspector General Kristine Hamann, an appointee of Democratic former Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Soares, Albany County’s district attorney, is also a Democrat.

      • Characters in Lost would be lost without Jacob

      • Lawyer Marc S. Dreier awaits sentencing after plea

        But for Bernard L. Madoff, Marc S. Dreier might be a household name.

        Accused of money laundering, wire fraud, securities fraud and other charges, Dreier pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Manhattan. He had been charged with selling nearly $700 million in fake promissory notes. Investors may have lost as much as $400 million.

        He faces a sentence of 20 years to life on each of the most serious charges against him.

        “I understand that everything I was doing was illegal,” Dreier told U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff on the day before his 59th birthday, Bloomberg news reported.

        Rakoff allowed Dreier to remain under house arrest until his July 13 sentencing.

        By a purely monetary standard, Dreier’s offenses did not match those of Madoff, who took investors for as much as $68 billion.

        However, Dreier beats Madoff on style points, according to Robert Kolker of New York Magazine.

        “Dreier took a starring role in his own financial drama,” Kolker wrote. “Where Madoff was outwardly quiet and self-effacing, Dreier was openly egotistical, even smug. He seemed to think he could lie to his victims’ faces and get away with it, to thrill, even, in the art of deceiving people.

        A graduate of Harvard Law School, Dreier was the founder of Dreier LLP, a 250-member firm that had offices in New York City and Los Angeles before it fell apart after Dreier’s arrest.

        Seemingly successful, Dreier lived the high life before his troubles became public. He collected cars, art, celebrity friends. He gave to charities; dated beautiful women.

        He also created a financial house of cards that began to tumble last year as some investors asked for their money back.

        Scrambling for funds, Dreier flew to Toronto in December. While there, he represented himself to a hedge fund executive as an official with the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.

        Something seemed wrong to the hedge fund guy; the police were tipped off. Dreier was arrested for impersonation. He spent a few days in jail and then was released on $100,000 bail.

        Unshaven, looking like someone coming up for air after a binge, Dreier headed back to the U.S. Authorities welcomed him a LaGuardia Airport with an arrest warrant.

        He stayed in jail until February when he was released on a $10 million bond.

        Under the terms of his bail, Dreier, who is represented by defense attorney Gerald L. Shargel, can’t leave his Upper East Side apartment without court permission.

        He has to pay for security guards and can’t have a cell phone. (The apartment is now for sale for $10 million.)

        • GM considers move from Detroit’s Renaissance Center

          May 14, 2009 at 8:08am

          When GM CEO Fritz Henderson raised the possibility that the automaker could vacate the Renaissance Center, it raised the threat of both real and symbolic devastation for Detroit.

        • Can Warren Hellman save the San Francisco Chronicle?

          Billionaire financier F. Warren Hellman is already beloved in his native San Francisco for underwriting an eccentric music festival called Hardlly Strictly Bluegrass.

          But if the California mogul can figure out how to save another bit of endangered Americana, the community newspaper, he will surely be regarded as a national, as well as a local treasure.

          MAP HINTS: Boxes with + signs can be expanded by doubleclicking. Solid lines are current relations. Dotted lines are former relations. For more options, right-click on a box or click on the map tools to the left. (Requires Flash)

          Hellman announced last Friday that he and a team of business and media experts are working on a plan for a new, sustainable model for community journalism in the Bay Area.

          While his immediate focus is on his hometown, where the Hearst Co.-owned San Francisco Chronicle has been hemorrhaging staff and money, Hellman has his eye on a model that might be adopted across the country where intense financial pressures are driving many papers into bankruptcy.

          “If we can conceptualize a model and bring it to life here, the world will take notice,” he said. “It is that simple.”

          A spokesman for Hellman told the the San Francisco Business Times that the team includes Andrew Woeber, managing director of investment bank Greenhill and Co.’s San Francisco office, consultant Susan Hirsch and representatives of the Media Workers Guild. Other participants in the regular meetings Hellman has convened include San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, former Chronicle Publisher and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce President Steve Falk and executives of several local investment funds.

          He said the group has adopted a two-month timeline for reporting back to the community.

          Hellman said he began thinking about the newspaper conundrum in late February when the Hearst Corp. announced plans to sell or shutter the 144-year-old Chronicle “within weeks” unless it could win significant concessions from two major unions, the Media Workers Guild and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

          The unions agreed to concessions that cut dozens of jobs for yet another downsizing, but the paper is by no means out of the woods.

          Hellman, now in his 70s, has a decades-long reputation as a financial whiz.

          The youngest person (at age 28) ever to have been named a partner at now-defunct Lehman Brothers, he has been a director of more than a dozen corporations and serves as a member of the University of California Walter A. Haas School of Business Advisory Board.

          After deciding to return to San Francisco, he co-founded Hellman & Friedman, LLC, the San Francisco-based private equity investment firm, in 1984 and has been a successful investor and philanthropist ever since. He has chaired the board of The Magnes Museum, and his wife, Chris, has chaired the San Francisco Ballet. The couple also funds the San Francisco Free Clinic, an organization that provides free health care to the needy and is run by one of their children.

          But even he admits that saving newspaper is a tougher challenge than it first looked.

          “In the beginning, this may have looked like addition and subtraction,” he admitted, “but in reality we’re doing advanced trigonometry here. The one thing I am certain about is that this region deserves the best journalism, and that a way must be found to ensure that we continue to get it for decades to come.”

          He said his group is looking around the world to see if there are viable models that can be emulated and, if not, “how do we develop one?”

            He said his group is looking around the world to see if there are viable models that can be emulated and, if not, “how do we develop one?”

            Indeed his business methodology will be his first notion(look to see if some elses idea provides solution). However, what we see here is that the politics (yes indeed), business models and the overall national press markets economic implementaion is the very “ROOT” cause of this predicament that Hellman perpetuates. The solution must be counteractive to this model. As a result I think you will see degraded quality, information control and increased complexity for the paper instead of a simple solution sadly. He hasn’t the solution but actually the reason for its demise….

          • Dave Bing, political neophyte, will be Detroit’s oldest mayor

            When pro basketball hall-of-famer Dave Bing was elected May 5 as Detroit’s third mayor in less than a year, a voter turnout of just 14 percent showed they’d prefer a duke to an emperor, and age to outrage.

            Duke, as Bing was known in his youth, narrowly beat interim Mayor Kenneth V. Cockrel Jr. in a special election to choose who would serve the remaining term of the city’s disgraced chief executive, Kwame M. Kilpatrick.

            Elected Detroit’s youngest mayor at 31, Kilpatrick’s first and abortive second terms were marked by his penchant for high living, big cars, entourages, luxury junkets and marital infidelity. When a police whistleblower lawsuit threatened to disclose thousands of sexually explicit text messages between Kilpatrick and his chief of staff, former high school classmate Christine Beatty, the two lied about their relationship in court and settled the lawsuit for $8.4 million in taxpayer money.

            Dave Bing
            Dave Bing

            Both resigned their positions, admitted their perjury in separate plea deals and spent several months in jail. In addition, Kilpatrick confessed to obstructing justice and assaulting two county investigators who went to his home to serve a subpoena on businessman Bobby Ferguson, another childhood friend and convicted felon who was awarded some $170 million in city contracts during Kilpatrick’s tenure.

            Bing, at 65, will be sworn in as Detroit’s oldest mayor, and the first political neophyte to hold the job in nearly 120 years. While he will hold the office through the end of the year, he faces an August primary and November general election to claim his own full 4-year term.

            A native of Washington, D.C., and high school dropout who dreamed of professional sports greatness while playing basketball with childhood friend – and later Motown musical legend – Marvin Gaye, Bing moved to Detroit as the 1966 NBA draft’s No. 2 pick, and was a Piston for nine seasons.

            After moonlighting as a bank manager trainee and in a steel company PR job, he started his own business in 1980, first as Bing Steel and later expanded as the Bing Group, an auto parts manufacturer with reported annual revenues of as much as $300 million. He also has interests in money management and construction.

            Although long active in Detroit civic affairs, Bing resisted calls for a mayoral candidacy until his successful run this year. Attacked as an outsider – he moved into the city from his suburban home to run for office – and forced to admit that he falsely claimed to hold a master’s in business administration from Syracuse University, Bing edged out Cockrel, who as city council president had assumed the mayor’s office after Kilpatrick’s resignation.

            He’s pledged to take a businessman’s approach to governing one of the country’s most impoverished, crime-ridden, and corrupt cities, and has just three months to prove his effectiveness before having once again to face the voters, however few, in August.

            • SEC sues money-fund manager Bruce Bent

              A man who fundamentally changed the nature of investing in this country has been accused of misleading investors last year.

              Bruce R. Bent Sr., 71, the co-founder of the first money market mutual fund, is the object of a civil lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission that was filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan.

              Hint: Doubleclick on boxes with plus signs to expand, or click the tool bar at left for more options.

              His son, Bruce Bent II, 43, the co-CEO of the fund known as the Reserve Primary Fund, is also cited in the complaint.

              Another Bent company, Reserve Management Company Inc., the fund’s manager, and Reserve Partners Inc., a broker-dealer run by Reserve Management, are also named as defendants.

              The suit charges the Bents with the “knowing dissemination of false information” about the impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. last September upon the Reserve Fund.

              According to the complaint, the Reserve Fund held $785 million in Lehman debt securities, securities that had become worthless.

              The SEC alleges that the Bents falsely assured shareholders and the fund’s trustees that, despite the Lehman loses, Reserve Management had enough capital or available credit to keep the fund’s net asset value above $1 a share.

              This proved not to be the case, and eventually the Bents acknowledged that the fund had “broken the buck” and the net asset value was below $1 a share.

              This prompted a run on the fund and a call for tougher regulation of money market funds in general.

              The Reserve Fund, which had been valued at $62.5 billion, is now in liquidation, with about 90 percent of its assets returned to investors.

              Reserve Management has held back about $3.5 billion pending the outcome of about 29 civil lawsuits. The SEC is asking that this money be released and distributed to investors in the fund.

              In a statement, the elder Bent said, “We remain confident that we acted in the best interest of our shareholders. We are hopeful that this matter can be resolved quickly.”

              Bent was a money manager at the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association in the late 1960s.

              One day, he and his boss, Henry B. R. Brown, began chatting about strategies that would allow small investors to get higher rates on return than those offered by savings accounts.

              “I looked up at Brown and said, ‘Why not a mutual fund?’” Bent later told Fortune magazine. “He said he didn’t know anything about mutual funds. I said, ‘I don’t know anything about mutual funds either, but I think it would work.’”

              The pair went out on their own, starting the Reserve Fund in 1972. By the beginning of January 1973, they were managing $1 million.

              A story then ran that month in The New York Times, prompting interest in the fund. By the end of the year Brown and Bent were managing $100 million and mutual funds were proliferating.

              Brown, who died last August, left company management in 1985, but retained a financial interest in the business until Bent bought him out in 1999.

              In 2001, Bent ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for Nassau (NY) County executive, promising that he would serve at $1 a year and that he would improve efficiency in the government.

              This emphasis on fiscal restraint reflected Bent’s original investment principles at the Reserve Fund, which was seen as low-risk.

              But according to The Wall Street Journal, the fund’s strategies changed in 2006 and it began to invest in higher-risk financial products, including the commercial paper from Lehman Brothers that led to the fund’s demise.

              • Dave Bing, political neophyte, will be Detroit’s oldest mayor

              • Judge rejects hardship plea from ex-Detroit mayor

                Convicted felon and former Detroit mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick today lost a hardship bid to reduce $6,000 in monthly restitution payments to the city for his crimes.

                As part of a plea deal last year to end criminal prosecution in a sex and obstruction-of-justice scandal, the ex-mayor agreed to repay Detroit taxpayers $1 million, resign his office, serve four months in jail, forfeit his law license and refrain from running for elected office for five years.

                After his release from jail, Kilpatrick moved his family to a Dallas suburb where he lives in a 2,800-square-foot home, drives a Cadillac Escalade, and earns a base salary of more than $100,000 with income potential of as much as $360,000 a year as a software salesman for Covisint, a subsidiary of Detroit-based Compuware Corp.

                Chairman and CEO Peter Karmanos, who moved Compuware headquarters to downtown Detroit in a political deal with Kilpatrick, said when he hired the confessed perjurer that he is “on a short leash,” and will be fired if an ongoing federal investigation of corruption in Detroit leads to new charges against him.

                Kilpatrick claimed hardship in the terms of his restitution, saying that after all monthly living expenses, only $6 remained to repay the city.

                Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner, who had ordered those terms as part of Kilpatrick’s plea deal, said Kilpatrick will have to reconsider the “lifestyle in which he has grown accustomed.”

                “In other words,” Groner ruled, the ex-mayor “may not be able to sustain an upper-middle-class existence while he still owes a debt to society and a substantial financial debt to the citizens of Detroit.”

                • NY Fed’s Stephen Friedman resigns over ties to Goldman

                  His nickname at Goldman Sachs was “Mr. Inside,” and for decades, Stephen Friedman’s extensive contacts and expertise made him a go-to player on Wall Street.

                  But it was precisely that web of connections that raised conflict-of-interest issues in his latest job as non-executive chairman of the powerful Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

                  Friedman, 71, resigned from the post Thursday amid questions about his continuing ties to Goldman Sachs, which were first raised in a Wall Street Journal story Monday.

                  “Although I have been in compliance with the rules, my public service motivated continuation on the Reserve Bank Board is being mischaracterized as improper,” he wrote in a letter to New York Fed President William Dudley. “The Federal Reserve System has important work to do and does not need this distraction.”

                  In its story, the Journal had disclosed that Friedman was allowed to lead the New York Fed and remain a Goldman director and shareholder, in violation of Fed policy because of Goldman’s new status as a bank holding company. The New York Fed sought a one-year waiver of that rule, which was granted by the Federal Reserve board in Washington in January.

                  While the waiver was under consideration, in December, Friedman bought 37,300 more Goldman shares, the paper reported. He also bought more shares the day after the waiver came through. The purchases, which gave him a $3 million paper gain, were disclosed in Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

                  Friedman originally told the Journal that his role at the New York Fed wasn’t a policy-making one and that he saw “no conflict whatsoever in owning shares” of Goldman.

                  He noted that when he became an economic adviser to former President George W. Bush, he had had to sell nearly all his investments, in a process he described as “very costly and a difficult thing to manage.”

                  A longtime star of the financial world, Friedman had worked as an investment banker, a private-equity executive and an economic adviser to the president.

                  The bulk of his career, however, was spent at Goldman Sachs, where he held numerous executive roles. He was the company’s co-chief operating officer from 1987 to 1990, co-chairman, along with his longtime friend Robert E. Rubin, from 1990 to 1992, and the sole chairman from 1992 to 1994; he still serves as a director.

                  Admired for his intelligence and low-key style, Friedman has a welter of relationships in the philanthropic world as well. He is chairman emeritus of the board of Columbia University, where he attended law school, chairman emeritus of the executive committee of the Brookings Institution, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

                  Out of work, he is said to be an avid chess player and wrestler. A wrestling center at his alma mater, Cornell University, bears his name. His son David Benioff, wrote the screenplay for The Kite Runner and X-Men Origins: Wolverine and is married to actress Amanda Peet. His brother, Richard, is a constitutional law scholar at the University of Michigan.
