Venture Capitalist Pleads Guilty

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has announced that Elliott Broidy, chairman of Markstone Capital Group, has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of rewarding official misconduct, in cases involving senior officials in the office of former New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi. Broidy funneled close to 1 million dollars in payments for the benefit of four senior officials in Hevesi’s office, while he was pursuing work with the New York State Common Retirement Fund. The payments were made to friends or relatives of the officials. The Common Retirement Fund is one of the largest pension funds in the country, and the State Comptroller serves as its sole trustee.

Hevesi Implicated

It has been reported that the Attorney General’s ongoing investigation has also directly implicated former state Comptroller Hevesi, for accepting luxury trips to Israel and Italy from Mr. Broidy. This is the first time that Mr. Hevesi has been implicated for receiving a direct financial benefit from an entity seeking work with the Common Retirement Fund.
