...funds from dozens of public and private pension systems, including California Public Employees' Retirement System, Pennsylvania State Employees' Retirement System, General Motors and Verizon. As a Refco insider (several Lee executives are on the Refco board), Lee and the underwriters who took the company public may be on the hook for shareholder losses. "We have a history of taking forceful action in response to misbehavior," says Alan Hevesi, New York State comptroller, whose retirement system invested $36 million in Refco through Lee and others.
