A Quadrangle spokesman said the company worked with Morris’s firm, Searle & Co., but said there was no payment. Rattner, 56, left Quadrangle, which oversees more than $6 billion, when he joined the Obama administration Feb. 23.
Carlyle paid $150,000 to Morris or his company after he brokered a $20 million placement by the New Mexico council in a Carlyle fund. Morris also aided a $20 million New Mexico investment in Quadrangle, the council disclosed.
More than 60 funds disclosed their brokers to New Mexico officials, while another 110 said they didn’t have any third- party relationship. The remaining funds didn’t respond.
I am sure the Morris payments were made after Feb. 23, and Mr. Raddner had absolutely no knowledge of the payments or his firm's relationship with Morris.
