Aon Corp - Coney was senior managing director of Aon Corp., the insurance brokerage founded by prominent Daley backer Patrick Ryan, and that early event signaled the ease with which Obama would navigate the turf of Daley supporters. (Daley = Mayor of NY at the time)

The mayor's brother, former Clinton Cabinet member William Daley, was present that night at the Hyatt, one of the more prominent faces in a crowd of more than 700 who contributed an estimated $1 million.

>Campaign contribution records on file with the Illinois State Board of Elections reveal that employees from the minority-owned or minority-run firms that were given work coughed up some serious dough over the years to many of the members on the finance committee.

TALF? What is TALF? TALF is run by the New York Federal Reserve Bank.

http:// www.getliberty.org/files/TALFBackgrounder.pdf

The NY Fed has given Loop Capital a lot of sweet deals with getting first access to pilot programs and etc.

https:// www.newyorkfed.org/markets/toc_announcement_130606.html New York Fed Names Four Firms to Participate in the Treasury Operations Counterparty Pilot Program

https:// www.newyorkfed.org/markets/moc_announcement_141117.html New York Fed Names Three Firms to Participate in the Mortgage Operations Counterparty Pilot Program.

The TARP Special Inspector General pointed out that TALF is “an ideal opportunity to

money-laundering organizations.” He also noted that “the taxpayer risk is many times

that of the private parties, thereby potentially skewing the economic incentives.”

THE CHOSEN ONES

Currently, 22 companies are listed as eligible agents by the New York Fed to facilitate

these deals.

list of eligible agents for the TALF program are minority-run firms. One of these firms is

Loop Capital Markets.

http:// www.newyorkfed.org/markets/talf_agents.html

Loop Capital Markets is a minority-owned boutique investment banking firm based in

Chicago. This firm is very-well-connected but has been involved with questionable

individuals who took part in several controversies. Both Loop and Williams Capital,

another minority-owned firm that is an eligible agent for TALF, have been very

generous to the Democratic Party.

TIES TO THE ADMINISTRATION

Loop Capital’s management raised at least $200,000 for Obama’s presidential run. James

Reynolds, Co-founder, President, and CEO of Loop Capital has been raising money for

Obama for over a decade and hosted one of Obama’s first fundraisers for his U.S. Senate

campaign at Reynold’s Chicago home.

Obama’s brother-in-law Craig Robinson was a partner and managing director at Loop

Capital for several years.

Loop Capital employees have been generous to numerous Democrats, particularly black

Democrats. Reynolds also gave over $100,000 to Democrats running for federal office,

including thousands of dollars for Rahm Emanuel. Between 1998 and 2004, Reynolds

gave over $100,000 to Illinois state Democrats, including $25,000 to the state senate

president, Emil Jones. Jones’s family has profited handsomely during his time in office.

PART TWO

QUESTIONABLE TIES

Roland Burris’s firm received a retainer fee of $5,000 per month from Loop Capital. In

2003, Loop Capital received over $750,000 in pension bond business from the

Blagojevich administration. Burris denied that there was anything wrong with the

arrangement. “We make sure that the client has access, and the client has to have a

product or services that the customer can use, and that it is a competitive product,”

Burris said.

Reynolds continues to support Burris and recently sent his campaign a $2400

contribution. It should be noted that only 54 other individuals have contributed to

Burris, and only three have given as much as Reynolds. The Chicago Tribune called

Burris “a prototypical Illinois politician, who put a relative on the public payroll,

steered legal business to political supporters and sought to trade on his ties when he

became a lobbyist.”

Last year, Peter Bynoe, a managing director at Loop Capital, lobbied Chicago on behalf

of a corpse-hauling firm that overcharged the city, broke its promises, and refused to

pay its bills. Currently, GSSP Enterprise receives over $900 for removing bodies in

Chicago, but it performs the same duties in Dayton, Ohio for $75. GSSP had previously

operated on a contract with Chicago that paid $200 per corpse. Cook County currently

pays $250 for corpse-hauling services. The company was supposed to use minority

contractors, but it failed to use them sufficiently and failed to pay some of them as

promised. The company even mixed up two bodies and did not discover the error until

one of the women had been buried. One former employee claimed that the company

was understaffed, that he had receive no safety training, and that protective gear and

even body bags were lacking. Yet, despite numerous problems, Bynoe was successful;

and GSSP received a new contract with Chicago. In 2003, Bynoe helped Tony Rezko in

his fundraising endeavors. In 1989, Bynoe teamed up with the scandal-plagued Ron

Brown in a deal to take over the Denver Nuggets.

Not only was Loop Capital involved in Chicago’s corrupt politics, it was also involved

in Wisconsin corruption. In 2003, when Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle came to a

Packers game in Chicago, he met with Tony Rezko and a couple of other fundraisers.

Doyle and a staffer sat in a corporate box paid for by Loop Capital. Doyle’s campaign

later paid $170 to Loop Capital. A deal was eventually worked out between Bear

Stearns and the state of Wisconsin. Loop Capital earned about $170,000 for its role in the

deal. The lobbyist at the center of the deal, Nick Hurtgen, pleaded guilty to aiding and

abetting wire fraud earlier this year for his role in a government corruption case.

In 2003, Loop Capital retained Ronald White, a Philadelphia lawyer, to gain business

with the city. White was a confidant of Mayor John Street, whose administration was

beset by scandal. Loop Capital gave over $12,000 to a scholarship fund named for White

and gave $5,000 to White’s political action committee. White’s retainer fee of $5,000 per

month was sent to a shell company that was nominally controlled by White’s girlfriend,

Janice Renee Knight. Reynolds “was recorded on FBI wiretaps arranging what

prosecutors said was a ‘sham’ consulting contract with White’s girlfriend.” Loop

Capital received two no-bid contracts worth nearly $300,000. White was later indicted

for bribing the city treasurer to steer business to Loop Capital, among others. Loop

Capital was referred to as “Company No. 4” in White’s indictment. White died before

his trial.

In 2004, Loop Capital profited from its minority status on a deal to sell off the Chicago

Skyway. Its public benefactor, Alderman William Beavers, said, “Loop Capital wasn't

involved in the original deal.” (Loop was added later as a co-financial adviser.) “I want

them to be part of it, not only Loop but other minority firms. I want to make sure

minorities get their fair share of everything to come through the city.”
