Grayson Staffer Listed as Director of Dem Rep’s Cayman Island Hedge Funds

A congressional staffer in Rep. Alan Grayson’s (D., Fla.) Washington, D.C., office is also listed as a director of the congressman’s controversial Cayman Island hedge funds.

Carla Coleman, a current employee in Grayson’s Washington office, appears on Grayson’s most recent SEC filings as holding positions for two separate hedge funds run by the congressman—both of which do business in the Cayman Islands and have come under heavy scrutiny in recent weeks.

Coleman was hired in January 2013 as a scheduler and office manager for Grayson’s main office. The SEC documents showing her position within the funds were released in late 2014—more than a year and a half after she was hired to be part of the congressman’s staff.

One SEC filing, which was submitted on Nov. 24, 2014, lists Coleman and Rep. Grayson as directors of Grayson Fund (Cayman) Ltd. The second filing, also submitted on Nov. 24, lists both Coleman and Grayson as executive officers of Grayson Master Fund (Cayman) LP.

When questioned on Coleman working simultaneously for Rep. Grayson’s office and the hedge funds, Ken Scudder, Rep. Grayson’s communication’s director, told the Washington Free Beacon she works part-time for the hedge funds and said she performs the work outside of the office.

“Ms. Coleman has a part-time position with the Fund and is paid by the Fund. This job is completely separate from her responsibilities in Rep. Grayson’s Washington, D.C., congressional office,” Scudder said in an email statement.
