Ex IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn may want to leave a notorious New York City jail, but he reportedly has no place to go.
Strauss-Kahn's plans to ditch his Rikers Island jail cell on Friday may have to be put on hold as his wife scrambles to find an apartment that can be used for her husband's home confinement while he's out on bail, sources told The New York Post.
Anne Sinclair had rented an apartment at the posh Bristol Plaza on East 65th Street, but she was turned away once it was discovered that Strauss-Kahn would be staying there, sources said. Another source said that "someone high-profile in the building" had objected to Strauss-Kahn staying in the building.
A leasing agent for the building told The Post that no one named Sinclair or Strauss-Kahn had rented an apartment in the luxury rental tower. She declined to elaborate further.
A judge granted Strauss-Kahn's request on Thursday to release him on $1 million bail. The disgraced former IMF chief has agreed to wear an electronic monitoring device and live under video surveillance with an armed guard present.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn will receive a one-off severance payment of $250,000, but receive far less in future years from pension and related payments, the global lender said on Friday.
Strauss-Kahn, who is facing charges of sexual assault and attempted rape in New York, resigned from the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday. He has denied the charges and his lawyer said he would plead innocent.
"Former Managing Director Strauss-Kahn's annual pension and related entitlements have been grossly over-estimated in media reports this week, and appear based erroneously on a one-off separation payment of $250,000," the IMF said in a statement.
"The annual payments would be far, far less than that amount in subsequent years," it said.
Under the terms of his employment, Strauss-Kahn is due both a severance payment as well as pension payments and an annual "supplemental" retirement allowance that would be reduced if he were to draw income from "regular and continuous employment.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn abused his position in the manner in which he got to me,” Ms. Nagy wrote in the letter, which was obtained by Bloomberg News. “I provided you the details of how he summoned me on several occasions and came to make inappropriate suggestions to. . .I did not know how to handle this; as I told you I felt that I was ‘damned if I did and damned if I didn’t.’”
Nagy praised her former boss as a “brilliant leader with a vision for addressing the ongoing global financial crisis. He is also an aggressive if charming man. . .But I fear that he is a man with a problem that may make him ill-equipped to lead an institution where women work under his command.”
Smith’s investigation, which unearthed a chain of e-mail and text messages between Nagy and Strauss-Kahn, concluded that the relationship was “consensual.”
Nagy wrote her letter, she said, because the existence of the investigation had been leaked to two newspapers, and the publication of her involvement with Strauss-Kahn had resulted in “public humiliation” for her and her husband.
