Louis J. Freeh, the former FBI director who took on two of 2011’s biggest scandals last month, joins the ranks of former high-ranking government officials trying to sell reputations for integrity following careers fraught with controversy.
Freeh, 61, signed court papers Nov. 22 to become a trustee overseeing the wind-down of MF Global Holdings Ltd., the day after he was hired by Pennsylvania State University to conduct a probe of a child-sex abuse scandal. Like former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s Giuliani Partners and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s Kissinger Associates Inc., Freeh Group International Solutions LLC consults on issues of business, compliance, security and risk.
