Burnham now directs this online investing company. He stepped down as Connecticut’s state treasurer in ‘97 to work for the investment companies PIMCO and Columbus Circle. Before resigning as state treasurer, Burnham awarded Columbus Circle a contract to manage $150 million in state pension funds. Burnham’s successor as treasurer, Paul Silvester, was convicted of taking kickbacks from private money managers to whom he awarded contracts to invest state pension funds (see Pioneer Wayne Berman).
