" Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that Rattner was involved with payments at the center of an investigation into an alleged kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund."

Another validation of my 2009 tagline

May 18, 2009 —

STEVEN Rattner, the auto industry adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, is flagrantly thumbing his nose at President Obama’s call for Americans to make sacrifices in the collapsing economy.

Rattner is moving full-speed ahead with construction of a lavish, $15 million summer home in the Lambert’s Cove area of West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard — a palatial mansion he’s had in the works since 2006.

It’s caused a furor among wealthy Vineyard residents...

*snip*

Rattner has been tough on banks and hedge-fund managers unwilling to take haircuts on stakes they own in failing car companies.

Yet Rattner, his wife, Maureen White, the former national finance chair for the Democratic Party, and their four children enjoy plush lifestyles because of the success of his Quadrangle Group hedge fund, which manages Mayor Bloomberg’s $16 billion fortune.

His fund has been under scrutiny in a pension scandal being probed by state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.
