Steve Rattner, sometimes called Steven Rattner (or misspelled Ratner), was the managing director and head of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners. Rattner resigned in July 2008, with a spokesman saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. The New York Times reported in August 2008 that Rattner stepped down after an Internet campaign by Tommii Cosgrove, the husband of Kelly Cosgrove, a woman Rattner had an affair with five years earlier. In a series of website posts and e-mails, Cosgrove accused Rattner of paying his wife half a million dollars to leave him.The New York Times: On Wall St., Reputation Is Fragile (August 5, 2008) Bloomberg.com: Credit Suisse's Rattner Resigns as Head of DLJ Fund (July 30, 2008)
Smear Tactics?
Beginning in June 2008, Tommii Cosgrove made posts on websites run by several New York-area media outlets, including the New York Observer and New York Magazine. Cosgrove called Rattner a "rich kid" who "paid my wife $500,000.00 to leave me." Cosgrove went further, saying Rattner met his wife, Kelly Cosgrove, "when she was working as a high class escort in London through Bella's escort services, where he finds all his girlfriends and where all his rich mates shop." The posts were also e-mailed to Rattner's coworkers and some of his clients.Gawker: Cuckold's Internet Revenge Against Top Banker (August 5, 2008) The New York Times: On Wall St., Reputation Is Fragile (August 5, 2008)For his part, Rattner does not deny the affair, but was quoted in The New York Times as saying many of Cosgrove's claims are exaggerations. Rattner said, "I feel like the star of a bad made-for-TV movie."The New York Times: On Wall St., Reputation Is Fragile (August 5, 2008)
