In the process
of checking out Kroll Associates and their possible role in
Gideon.....
Board of AIG, Board
of AIG Latin America Fund, looks like the Board of Kroll Associates, I think was
board of NY Fed....and others...doing research now.
Bottom
line...Bernard was the tax shelter guy who would know the most about the
ramifications for tax purposes and money laundering of reengineering both HUD
multifamily and single family....
Remember...S&C
was the firm through the Dulles brothers who invented the CIA and started the
first asset forfeiture fund with the Nazi reparations money.
So Bernard could
have been part of whatever Rubin was doing re Nazi Gold and the $4.7
billion.....
I believe he is also
a member of the Council of Foreign Relations....

$1 Million Pledge From Four Graduates To Match Gifts >From New Donors or
Increased Gifts From Previous Donors
Four alumni -- M. Bernard Aidinoff '53, Judith
Richards Hope '64, Brian M. Freeman '70, and Robert K. Weary '48 --
have
joined together to issue a $1 million challenge to stimulate increased
unrestricted giving to Harvard Law School.
The pledge will create a challenge pool which will
be used to match all new or increased unrestricted gifts to the Harvard
Law
School Fund during the current fiscal year up to a total of $1
million.
"This is a tremendously important and generous
initiative," said Dean Robert Clark. "Unrestricted gifts from alumni and
friends
benefit every area of our operation and are vital to the fulfillment
of our ongoing mission."
This is the School's second unrestricted giving
challenge. Last year's $1 million challenge from William D. Walsh '55,
general
partner of the investment firm of Sequoia Associates in Menlo Park,
California, was highly successful.
A new gift is defined as an unrestricted gift from
an individual who did not make an unrestricted gift during the last fiscal
year
(July 1, 1996 - June 30, 1997).
An increased gift is defined as an unrestricted
gift that is larger than the unrestricted gift made during the previous fiscal
year.
Unrestricted gifts are current use gifts without
designations or specific uses.
M. Bernard Aidinoff '53 is senior counsel at
Sullivan & Cromwell in New York. He has been chairman of the Section
of
Taxation of the American Bar Association, and chairman of the Tax Program
Committee of the American Law Institute.
Judith Richards Hope '64 is senior counsel with the
firm Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker in Washington, D.C. She is
a
member of the Harvard Corporation.
Brian M. Freeman '70 is a private investor in
Millburn, New Jersey. He is a former deputy for Corporate Finance and
Special
Projects for the U.S. Treasury Department.
Robert K. Weary '48 is of counsel with Weary,
Davis, Henry, Struebing & Troup in Junction City, Kansas. He has been on
the
board of the National Cable Television Association.
