风投与私募股权

输家

????史蒂文?米切尔

????执行董事，Argonaut私人股权投资公司

????太阳能电池制造商Solyndar的失败将使私人投资者蒙受10亿美元的损失，这也成为令奥巴马总统头痛不已的沉重负担。其中损失最为惨重的是Argonaut私人股权投资公司，该公司投资超过2.7亿美元购买股权。这项交易的负责人便是米切尔，同时他也是Solyndra公司的董事会成员。

????琳恩?蒂尔顿

????CEO，Patriarch Partners投资公司

????2011年，琳恩计划出演一部表现她如何扭转公司颓势的真人秀，而她的“佳人落难记”也由此拉开了序幕。她今年的经历就像是《泽西海岸》（Jersey Shore）的翻版。随着一家主要投资组合公司的破产，她的公司也因为“诱因欺诈”而被判决有罪。不出所料，目前她的真人秀节目也被搁浅。

????道格拉斯?罗恩斯坦

????前任CEO，私募股权成长资本委员会

????罗恩斯坦是私募股权行业首个行业性组织的第一任CEO，成员包括多家行业巨头。但这位资深说客却并不是一位高效的经理人，而且他的影响力也不足以敲定《多德弗兰克法案》。最终，他在8月份遭到解雇。

LOSERS

????Steven Mitchell

????Managing director, Argonaut Private Equity

????Private investors will lose some $1 billion on Solyndra, the failed solar-cell maker that has become an albatross around President Obama's neck, but no firm will lose more than Argonaut Private Equity, which invested more than $270 million in equity. Mitchell led this deal for Argonaut and sat on Solyndra's board.

????Lynn Tilton

????CEO, Patriarch Partners

????The "distressed diva" began 2011 with plans to star in a reality series that would show her turning companies around. Her year ended like a Jersey Shore rerun. A major portfolio company went bankrupt, and her firm was found guilty of "fraudulent inducement." Predictably enough, the TV show is now on hold.

????Douglas Lowenstein

????Ex-CEO, Private Equity Growth Capital Council

????Lowenstein was the debut CEO of private equity's first real trade association, with major industry names as members. But the veteran lobbyist wasn't a terribly effective manager, nor was he influential enough to shape Dodd-Frank legislation. He got the boot in August.
