Controversies

In March 2002, Roger Hertog was "in hot water for Alliance's handling of Florida's state pension fund, which lost $335 million during Enron's collapse, prompting racketeering subpoenas from Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth."[3]

In November 2003, Alliance Capital was "being investigated by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer for improper trading moves and [had] put aside $190 million to cover restitution and legal costs relating to the case." It was "also being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for payments to Morgan Stanley to obtain preferred status with investors."[4]
