A new website reveals that Enron-billionaire John Arnold has spent up to $50 million of his own fortune to dismantle retirement plans for firefighters, nurses, teachers and other public employees.

The website – Truth About John Arnold [3] – is sponsored by the National Public Pension Coalition (NPPC) [4] andCalifornians for Retirement Security [5] and traces the wide financial influence that one billionaire has on public pension fights.

Arnold turned his $8 million into billions as a Wall Street hedge fund manager.
