hank morris perp walk. Newsday

Here’s Hank Morris (no relation!) doing his perp walk after being indicted on 123, count ‘em, 123 counts relating to taking multi-million dollar kickbacks from those wanting to manage money for the New York State pension fund.

AG Cuomo says further indictments are coming, so we can look forward to more exciting perp walks.

Mr Cuomo said that Carlyle alone paid Mr Morris more than $13 million in return for attracting $730 million in investments from the pension fund.
