An international investment guru who has ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros and a number of controversial West African politicians is raising money for President Obama’s re-election campaign.
Stephen Cashin, the chief executive officer at Pan African Capital Group (PACG), an international private equity firm, recently pledged to raise between $200,000 and $500,000 for the Obama campaign, records show.
Cashin and his wife Molly, who have personally donated at least $7,000 to Obama since 2007, hosted a $2,500-per-head campaign fundraiser at their Washington, D.C., home earlier this year.
The multimillionaire son of a U.S. Foreign Service officer, Cashin was born in North Africa and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania from 1979 to 1981. Since then, he has made a lucrative career investing in foreign companies, primarily in Africa.
Cashin founded PACG in 2004, but he has been investing in Africa since 1984, when he began working for Equator Bank, the Africa development unit of the British banking conglomerate Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). Cashin opened a branch office in Nairobi, Kenya, and developed relationships with a number of African central banks and international organizations in the region.
