Bloomberg Relationship
In January, 2008, it was reported that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's extensive business interests were placed in "a sort of blind trust" with Quadrangle because of Bloomberg's possible run for the presidency. Bloomberg was reported to be a friend of Rattner. Bloomberg would "continue to have control of and access to certain investment decisions." In February, 2009, when Rattner left, a report said Quadrangle would continue with its responsibilities for Bloomberg.
In February, 2010, Mayor Bloomberg "shift about $5 billion from Quadrangle into a new investment firm devoted solely to interest and that of his charitable foundation about a dozen employees of Quadrangle," it was reported. Moving to the new unit would be Alice Ruth, who had been recruited to Quadrangle for the Bloomberg job and "who had managed the personal fortune of Gordon Moore, Intel’s co-founder."

Famous quotes containing the word relationship:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
