Morris was embroiled in the pay-to-play scandal at the New York Common Retirement Fund that has netted tens of millions of dollars in penalties and a handful of guilty pleas from private equity and hedge fund managers, as well as other Empire State political bigwigs.

Morris agreed to give up $19 million as part of his punishment.
