In 2008, Justice Alito took a luxury fishing trip to Alaska with hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer. He arrived via a private jet, a journey estimated to cost $100,000 each way, and stayed at a luxury fishing lodge that charges $1,000 per day. Alito failed to report these gifts in his annual disclosures in apparent violation of federal law. In 2009, Paul Singer introduced Alito as the speaker at a Federalist Society annual dinner, and as a keynote speaker at a Manhattan Institute donor dinner in 2010. Singer’s hedge fund has had business before the Supreme Court at least 10 times since 2008 and Alito has never recused himself from these matters.
As of September 2023, Paul Singer held at least $90 million in companies overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB’s existence and functionality are at stake in CFPB v. CFSA currently before the Supreme Court.
