Corporate Governance
The company whose parent, Riverstone Holdings, is already in difficulty after the New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo ordered Riverstone Holdings LLC to pay $30 million in restitution after Riverstone Holdings employed fixers to get them business from pension funds controlled by "corrupt" state officials, caused further controversy when it was found that officials in the UK had also invested state pension fund money in the company's products.
