Peter Ackerman: billionaire sponsor of toxic NGO’s...a Wall Street investor who once worked closely with Michael Milken at Drexel Burnham in the 1980s. While Milken went to prison for insider trading, Ackerman walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars after the firm went bankrupt.
Modeling himself after George Soros, Ackerman assumed the guise of Deep Thinker after earning a PhD from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he now serves as President of the Board of Trustees. Like many other such schools, including Columbia University’s School of International Affairs, Fletcher is a breeding ground for spooks. http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/peter-ackerman-billionaire-sponsor-of-toxic-ngos/
Originally slapped with a $150 million tax bill by the IRS, investor Peter Ackerman resolved his tax disputes in June in an undisclosed settlement with the U.S. Justice Department. Ackerman is the founding chairman and president of Americans Elect, the fledgling political group he has seeded with at least $1.55 million.
Yesterday, Americans Elect began turning in 1.6 million signatures to become officially recognized as a political party on the California ballot in time for the 2012 presidential election. The organization plans to nominate a centrist, split-party ticket through an Internet vote in which any registered voter can participate.
The United States Tax Court ruled in 2005 that Ackerman was involved in a tax shelter, and the IRS determined that he owed $150 million. Another tax court ruling in 2009 found that he owed an additional $2.6 million and that his testimony in that case was not credible. Ackerman appealed both cases. http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/founder-americans-elect-used-tax-shelter-scheme-11790
