Geithner Aides Made Millions from Wall Street Firms
---------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, newly released disclosures show some of Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geithner’s closest aides have earned millions of dollars from
bailed-out Wall Street firms. Last year, Geithner adviser Gene Sperling
made over $887,000 from Goldman Sachs and another $158,000 in speaking
fees, mostly from financial companies. Another aide, Lee Sachs, made
over $3 million from the New York hedge fund Mariner Investment Group.
