HARDING ALLOCUTION I, Raymond B. Harding, Served As the Leader HARDING ALLOCUTION I, Raymond B. Harding, served as the leader and as a State Vice Chairman of the Liberal Party of New York State between 1977 and 1983 and again between 1986 and 2002. Between 1983 and 1986, I served as a member of the State Committee of the Party. Under my leadership, the Liberal Party endorsed Alan Hevesi in various political campaigns, including his re-election to the New York City Comptroller’s Office, his run for Mayor of New York City, and in his successful race for New York State Comptroller in 2002. During this period, I also developed a relationship with Alan Hevesi’s political advisor Hank Morris. During Alan Hevesi’s tenure as State Comptroller, Hank Morris inserted me as a placement agent on certain investment transactions with the New York State Common Retirement Fund (or the “CRF”) so that I could receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees to reward me for my political support of Alan Hevesi. With respect to these transactions, I understood that Hank Morris had influence over the investment process at the CRF, and along with David Loglisci corrupted the CRF investment process to favor the investments on which I was to receive fees, such that the investment decisions were not based exclusively on the best interests of the CRF. Together with Hank Morris, David Loglisci, and others, I did not disclose my involvement in some of these transactions, or our illicit arrangement to the New York State Common Retirement Fund, the Office of the State Comptroller, and related private equity and hedge funds, among others. From in or about June 2003 through in or about July 2008, acting in concert with Hank Morris and David Loglisci, among others, I intentionally engaged in fraud and deception while engaged in inducing and promoting the exchange, sale, negotiation and purchase within and from New York of securities, including investments in Paladin Homeland Security Fund (NY), Pequot Diversified Offshore Fund, LTD., and Pequot Private Equity Fund IV, L.P. As a result of this, I wrongfully obtained over $800,000 in fees relating to these transactions. Paladin Homeland Security Fund (NY) In or about late 2002, I began working as a placement agent through Potomac Capital Markets (“Potomac”), a Maryland-based broker-dealer. I formally affiliated with Potomac in July 2003. During this time, in my role as placement agent with Potomac, I frequently communicated with a certain OSC official in order to market private equity investments to the State pension fund, although none of these marketing efforts was successful. In or around June of 2003, Hank Morris explained to me that he and others wanted to generate placement fees for me to reward me for my past political support of Alan Hevesi without benefiting others at Potomac, whom they did not know. Shortly thereafter, Hank Morris arranged to insert me as a placement agent into a private equity deal so that I would receive fees when the CRF funded the deal. At Hank Morris’s direction, a partner of Paladin Capital Group contacted me and agreed to pay me 1.5% of any capital committed by the CRF to the Paladin Homeland Security Fund. In or about May of 2004, the CRF committed $20 million to the Paladin Homeland Security Fund, and, as a result, Paladin paid me $300,000. I understood that because of his connections at the Office of the State Comptroller, Hank Morris was able to and did skew the CRF investment process to favor this investment for Paladin in order to generate fees for me and therefore the investment decision was not based solely on the best interests of the CRF. Assembly Seat In or around November 2004, I learned that Alan Hevesi was seeking to help a certain New York State Assemblyman find employment in the private sector in order to create a vacancy in the Assembly for his son, Andrew Hevesi, to fill. To facilitate this, I arranged for the CEO of a health insurance company to meet the Assemblyman. The Assemblyman was hired by the health insurance company and resigned from the Assembly in or about March 2005. In or about May 2005, Andrew Hevesi was elected to the vacant Assembly seat. Alan Hevesi later thanked me for my assistance. Pequot Diversified Offshore Fund Soon after, Hank Morris arranged to insert me into a second investment pending before the CRF. Hank Morris introduced me to a finder who represented Pequot Capital Management, an alternative investment firm that was expecting a $50 million investment from the CRF. The finder later explained that Hank Morris had instructed him to insert me in the deal in a way to ensure that I was paid $150,000 per year. The finder instructed me not to do anything with respect to the marketing of the proposed Pequot investment, but told me that once CRF invested in one or more of the Pequot funds, I would receive the fees. The CRF later invested with Pequot, and I received personal checks from the finder totaling more than $500,000 associated with these investments. I understood that because of his connections at the Office of the State Comptroller, Hank Morris was able to and did skew the CRF investment process to favor the Pequot investments in order to generate fees for me. I further understood that David Loglisci recommended that the CRF make the investments in Pequot, at least in part, to benefit me and not based solely on the best interests of the CRF. .

  • The Bringing Down of Liz Holtzman
    The Bringing Down of Liz Holtzman di Murray N. Rothbard Joy oh joy! Hosanna! It would be difficult to pick, out of an all-too-jammed field, the most repellent politician in American life, but surely Elizabeth Holtzman would run anyone a very close race for that honor. Tough, dour, butch, pencil-thin, and ultra-left, Liz Holtzman has been plaguing New Yorkers, and Americans in general, for many years. She has always played the scene as a brutal avenging angel – or devil. In the Watergate affair, Holtzman, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee from Brooklyn, was prominent on TV as the stern avenger, bringing and enforcing justice, helping to bring down the Nixon administration. And then, in her congressional stint, in the 1970s, she conceived and introduced the bill that has been tormenting the country ever since: creating the Office of Special Investigations as a virtually independent fiefdom in the Department of Justice where Alan Ryan, Neil Sher, the Anti-Defamation League and their minions can drag elderly-Eastern European immigrants out of their beds and get them deported and often executed abroad for allegedly “Nazi” activities engaged in half a century ago. John Demjanjuk is only one of the innocent victims of Holtzmanesque “justice.” But now, hallelujah! Justice has at last triumphed; the stars are once again in their courses; the avenger has been on the receiving end of vengeance and how does she like it? For the famed Bringer Down and what a plop! Liz Holtzman has been cast into total ignominy. For all political purposes, she is finished, kaput, stone cold dead in the market.

  • Lobbyist Claims California State Senator Threatened Her State Sen
    Lobbyist claims California state senator threatened her State Sen. Joel Anderson is facing an investigation after a lobbyist said he threatened to hit her during a fundraiser at a Sacramento restaurant last week. California Nurses Association lobbyist Stephanie Roberson filed a complaint with the Senate Rules Committee, said Bonnie Castillo, executive director for the nurses' union. Castillo said the incident occurred Aug. 13 during a fundraising event at the Diplomat Steakhouse, a bar and restaurant across the street from the California Capitol. The restaurant escorted a man, allegedly Anderson, out of the restaurant for threatening to strike a woman, a restaurant spokesman told The Sacramento Bee . "This threat was observed by restaurant staff who immediately intervened and escorted the male out without further incident," spokesman Patrick Harbison said. Anderson called the incident a "misunderstanding" and said his comments weren't directed at Roberson. "I have the utmost respect for Stephanie and I sincerely regret my word choice that was not directed at her. I welcome the Rules Committee investigation to clear up this misunderstanding," he said Tuesday in a statement. Anderson is the latest California lawmaker to face accusations of inappropriate conduct or behavior. The state Legislature has been re-examining its harassment policies since last year, when nearly 150 women signed a letter detailing what it said was a pervasive culture of harassment by men at the Capitol. Three male lawmakers resigned and at least one female lawmaker is the target of an investigation over groping allegations. Anderson, of Alpine, is prevented by term limits from seeking re-election.
