Top U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigator Edward “Ted” Siedle is known for his forensic financial investigations. In Rhode Island, he probed former Governor Gina Raimondo’s pension reform while she was General Treasurer, furnishing the scathing report, “RI Public Pension Reform: Wall Street’s License to Steal.” Siedle has claimed that Raimondo’s strategy cut pensions for retirees’ COLAs and paid tremendous fees to Wall Street firms.
