U.K. Police Arrest Brooks in Phone-Hacking Probe

By CASSELL BRYAN-LOW And PAUL SONNE

The U.K. police investigation into alleged phone hacking took a dramatic turn Sunday with the arrest of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief of News Corp.’s U.K. newspaper unit who resigned Friday.

Rebekah Brooks, former chief executive of News International.

London’s Metropolitan Police, known as Scotland Yard, arrested her around noon Sunday when she appeared by appointment at a London police station. She hadn’t been charged.

It was the 10th arrest by police in a dual probe investigating allegations of voice-mail interceptions and corrupt payments to police. The allegations focus on the News of the World, News Corp.’s Sunday tabloid that the company recently closed after 168 years amid an escalating scandal.

News Corp. owns Dow Jones Co. and The Wall Street Journal.

By midafternoon on Sunday, Ms. Brooks remained in police custody along with her legal representation, according to a spokesman for the former News International chief executive. “She is assisting police at the moment,” the spokesman said, noting that the appointment with police was prearranged. “Until that’s completed, I can’t really say any more.”

Ms. Brooks is due to come under public scrutiny this week when she is due to appear before a parliamentary committee alongside News Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch and his son, James Murdoch, News Corp.’s deputy chief operating officer. The trio will face questioning from U.K. politicians about the hacking and whether executives previously misled Parliament.

The News Corp. phone-hacking scandal involves allegations that the company’s News of the World tabloid illegally accessed mobile-phone voice mails and bribed police to get information. The scandal has been simmering for years but escalated to a new level recently with the allegation that the paper in 2002 hacked the phone of a missing 13-year-old girl who turned out to be dead.

That drew Ms. Brooks deeper into the scandal as she was the editor of News of the World at the time. Ms. Brooks is a protégé of Rupert Murdoch who had risen quickly through the tabloid ranks of News Corp.’s British newspaper operations. He defended her strongly in the days before her resignation.

The News That Shook the World

July 4: A lawyer for murdered teen Milly Dowler’s family says he learned from police that her voice-mail messages had been hacked, possibly by a News of the World investigator.

July 6: U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron says he is ‘revolted’ by allegations that private investigators from the paper eavesdropped on the voice mails of victims of crime.

July 7: News Corp. announces it will close down the News of the World. The July 10 edition of the weekly paper was the last.

July 8: Mr. Cameron announces two inquiries, one on the hacking scandal, another focusing on press regulations. Former News of the World editor and ex-Cameron aide Andy Coulson is arrested in connection with the scandal.

July 10: Mr. Murdoch flies into London to handle the crisis.

July 12: Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown accuses News International of employing criminals to obtain confidential information about his family. News International defends its journalism.

July 13: Under U.K. political pressure, News Corp. withdraws its bid to buy the 60.9% of British Sky Broadcasting that it doesn’t already own.

July 14: Rupert Murdoch and son James Murdoch agree to testify at a parliamentary hearing to answer questions about the company’s phone-hacking scandal. In the U.S., the FBI said it would open a probe into whether News of the World might have hacked into phones of 9/11 victims.

On Friday, people close to the company said her resignation wasn’t tied to any new developments in the police investigation that were known to be coming. Instead, the company portrayed it as part of a broader damage-control campaign that it rolled out Friday and that also included the resignation of Dow Jones Chief Executive Les Hinton and several apologies from Rupert Murdoch.

Others arrested including former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as well as several former editors and senior reporters. No one has been charged. In the U.K., individuals can be arrested without being charged. Once police investigate further, charges may follow, which can be a matter of days or months.

The arrest of Ms. Brooks will further intensify already high expectations for Tuesday’s parliamentary hearing. News International executives as recently as 2009 had told the committee that the phone hacking was limited to just one reporter at the News of the World.

The committee also has previously asked Ms. Brooks about payments to police. While editor of the Sun in 2003, she told the committee: “We have paid the police for information in the past,” without elaborating.

In April, Ms. Brooks said in a letter to lawmakers that her intention was to comment on a “widely held belief” rather than suggest she knew of specific cases.

James Murdoch earlier this month said that News of the World and News International had failed to “get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred” and, as a result, “wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter.” The company now has handed police evidence that he believed “will prove that this is untrue,” he said.

“The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the facts. This was wrong,” James Murdoch added, in the statement.

Following her resignation Friday, Ms. Brooks said in an email to staff: “I feel a deep sense of responsibility for the people we have hurt and I want to reiterate how sorry I am.

“I have believed that the right and responsible action has been to lead us through the heat of the crisis, however my desire to remain on the bridge has made me a focal point of the debate,” she said. “This is now detracting attention from all our honest endeavours to fix the problems of the past,” she added.

As Rupert Murdoch’s protégé, Ms. Brooks quickly rose to be one of the U.K.’s most powerful journalists. Her drive and determination won her a place close to the News Corp. chief executive. Known for her ability to charm, and her striking mane of red hair, Ms. Brooks is well connected within the U.K.’s political and business elite.

Both Prime Minister David Cameron and his predecessor, Gordon Brown attended her wedding to Charlie Brooks, a racehorse trainer and who is an old friend of Mr. Cameron’s. Since May of last year, Ms. Brooks has made several social and other visits to the prime minister, including twice to his official country residence, according to records released Friday.

Speaking before Parliament last week, however, Mr. Cameron distanced himself from her, saying that if her resignation had been offered, it should have been accepted.

Ms. Brooks grew up in Cheshire, in the north of England. She joined News Corp. in 1989 as a feature writer for News of the World’s Sunday magazine. She rose up to the ranks and was named News of the World editor. In 2003, she became editor of its sister publication the Sun, a daily publication. She is known for her campaign-style of journalism, including efforts such as successfully championing a change in the law to allow parents to access the sex-offenders register following the murder of an 8-year-old girl by someone convicted of sex offenses.

Max Clifford, a public-relations adviser who has long known Ms. Brooks, described her as a decisive editor who knew readers well and the best way to present stories to appeal to that market. “Rupert recognized that,” said Mr. Clifford. “She’s played an incredible role in building the company in this country,” he added.

Ms. Brooks had become the public face of the scandal and for many British lawmakers their chief target. Chris Bryant, the Labour lawmaker who has pushed the issue hardest, said he was “delighted” by the news, and that Ms. Brooks should have been arrested in 2003 when she told a parliamentary committee that News International had paid police officials.

Mr. Bryant thinks that police attention should now focus on James Murdoch, given he was privy to out-of-court settlements made to several people who had complained of phone hacking. “It feels as if the water is lapping around the feet of the Murdoch family now,” he said.

Backup Plan on Debt Gains Momentum

By CAROL E. LEE And JANET HOOK

A backup plan to cut the federal deficit and keep the U.S. government from default gained momentum on Capitol Hill Thursday as negotiations between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders intensified with a deadline fast approaching.

The plan is taking shape in quiet discussions between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.).

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid speaks to the media next to U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner after their meeting about the debt limit on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday.

It would link a package of spending cuts to a plan Mr. McConnell unveiled earlier this week that would give the president the power to raise the debt limit through 2012 in three installments, unless two-thirds of Congress voted to block it. It would likely not include any tax increases, a senior Democratic aide familiar with the discussions said.

The idea has gained traction as time for achieving a deficit-reduction deal is running out. Mr. Obama and top lawmakers gathered at the White House Thursday for a fifth day of talks aimed at reaching an agreement that Republicans have linked to any increase in the government’s $14.29 trillion borrowing limit.

Treasury officials said the government won’t have enough cash to pay all its bills after Aug. 2 if the debt cap isn’t increased. And they say leaders need to reach an agreement by the end of next week to get legislation enacted before that date.

Mr. Obama has said he wants to know by Friday whether the White House talks can produce a significant deal. If they can’t, Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) said Senate leaders will start pursuing an alternative path. “We’ll have no choice at that point but to turn to some other option,” said Mr. Durbin, who is part of the negotiating group.

Senate efforts to craft the compromise for now circumvent the Republican-led House, where the proposal has received a cool reception. Many members rejected the idea when Mr. McConnell proposed it Tuesday without spending cuts attached, and House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said at the time that it couldn’t pass the chamber.

On Thursday, however, amid attempts to include spending cuts and another mechanism for deficit reduction, Mr. Boehner opened the door to Mr. McConnell’s proposal if the White House budget talks collapse.

“What may look like something less than optimal today, if we’re unable to get an agreement, it might look pretty good a couple weeks from now,” Mr. Boehner said, adding that he has “no idea” if the measure could pass the House.

Nancy Pelosi also said she would consider the plan. Ms. Pelosi said everyone who believes that the debt ceiling needs to be raised should be saying “bravo to Sen. McConnell.”

During their Wednesday meeting, Mr. Obama commended Mr. McConnell for his proposal, Democratic officials familiar with the meeting said. But the president also raised a concern that it doesn’t include a plan to reduce the deficit.

Mr. Obama also didn’t bristle at the notion of being responsible for raising the debt ceiling. “If Sen. McConnell wants me to wear the jacket for that, I’m happy to wear the jacket,” Mr. Obama said, according to the Democratic officials.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday that while a backup plan isn’t the president’s “preferred outcome,” he won’t rule out any proposal except a short-term debt-ceiling increase, which Mr. Obama has said he would veto.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Thursday stressed the urgency of the Aug. 2 deadline. “We have no way to give Congress more time,” he said after meeting with Senate Democrats. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke also repeated his warning at a Senate hearing that a failure to raise the debt ceiling soon would lead to “calamitous” consequences for the U.S. and the entire global economy.

Washington’s paralysis is stoking concern on Wall Street and around the world over whether policy makers will act soon and avoid a possible downgrade of U.S. government debt.

“We hope the U.S. government adopts responsible policies to protect the interests of investors,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei whose government held at least $1.152 trillion in Treasury securities as of April, making it the U.S. government’s largest creditor.

James Dimon, chief executive of J.P. Morgan Chase Co., warned Thursday that default would cause an economic “catastrophe.”

“It’s imperative that that debt ceiling be fixed and it’s imperative the United States shows fiscal discipline,” Mr. Dimon said. “They’re both important not just for the health of the United States, but the financial health of the world.

Mr. Obama and congressional leaders planned to discuss taxes and Medicare at their meeting Thursday. The leaders group has identified potential agreement on $1.7 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years, the White House said in advance of the meeting.

If both sides agree to a package of cuts, it could be incorporated into Mr. McConnell’s plan, said a senior Senate Democratic aide familiar with the McConnell-Reid discussions said. “That might make it more palatable to Republicans and show Democrats care about deficit reduction.”

Messrs. McConnell and Reid are also exploring a proposal to set up a commission to identify further spending cuts and force a congressional vote on the package, much like a similar mechanism once established by Congress to make politically difficult choices to close military bases.

Those developments came a day after credit-rating agencies moved closer to an unprecedented downgrade of the U.S. government’s debt amid the deteriorating talks in Washington.

Moody’s Investors Service said it was reviewing the government’s top Aaa bond rating for a possible downgrade, citing the “rising possibility” that the debt limit won’t be raised soon enough to prevent the U.S. from running out of money to pay its bills. Treasury Department officials say that could happen after Aug. 2.

In addition, ratings agency Standard Poor’s privately has told lawmakers and top business groups it might cut the U.S. credit rating if the government fails to make any of its expected payments—including Social Security checks—even if it makes all its debt payments, people familiar with the matter said.

The government is on track to spend at least $2.4 trillion more than it collects in taxes between now and November 2012, meaning a debt-ceiling increase of that size would be needed to push the issue past next year’s presidential election.

But instead, Mr. McConnell proposed a “last resort” plan on Tuesday of splitting debt-ceiling increases into three sections between Aug. 2 and the end of 2012: the first a $700 billion boost, followed by two further $900 billion increases in later months.

The increases would be procedurally structured so Republicans and even some Democrats facing tough re-election campaigns could vote against them, but the ceiling would still be permitted to increase.

Amid pressure from tea-party Republicans in his own chamber, Mr. McConnell also is pushing for a vote on a balanced-budget amendment, and he continued to blame Mr. Obama for the impasse.

In addition to Ms. Pelosi, Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) gave modest support Thursday for Mr. McConnell’s debt-limit proposal. Mr. Schumer said Mr. McConnell “put on the floor a proposal that at least would avoid default.”

Hedge-Fund Investors Scout Out Web Firms

By SPENCER E. ANTE

Spurred by their appetite for technology companies and seeking higher returns, a growing number of hedge-fund managers have started to invest more in private Internet companies.

When daily-coupon website LivingSocial Inc. said it raised $400 million in April, the firms putting up cash included hedge-funds Tiger Global Management, Lone Pine Capital and Brookside Capital, people familiar with the matter say. Tiger’s name popped up again in late June, when the New York firm grabbed a piece of the $100 million financing round for Square Inc., a mobile-payments start-up led by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.

A handful of hedge funds already had a history of such investments, but the activity has increased recently as investors try to cash in on the surging valuations of Facebook Inc., LinkedIn Corp., Zynga Inc., Groupon Inc. and a smattering of smaller companies

The inflows are giving young companies access to big pools of capital and the Rolodexes of some sophisticated investors. But they’re also pushing the already frothy valuations of some companies even higher and rattling the clubby venture-capital scene. Hedge funds have typically invested in ventures that they can sell at a moment’s notice, while venture-capital firms are known for advising start-ups and taking a longer-term view.

“Hedgies investing in start-ups directly is scary,” says Jeff Clavier, founder of SoftTech VC, a small but influential seed-stage venture firm based in Palo Alto, Calif. “They are the antichrist of patient, supportive early-stage investing.”

And there are risks. “There is a big experience curve” investing in start-ups, says Harvard Business School Prof. Josh Lerner. “It usually ends in tears.”

Kevin Hartz is the chief executive of EventBrite Inc., an online ticket seller that announced a $50 million investment by Tiger in May. He says that he and other Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are by nature suspicious of money that comes from outside the Valley. But he says he came away from a meeting with Tiger impressed by its knowledge of China, India, Brazil and other markets outside the U.S.

“Sitting down with Tiger was an eye-opening experience,” he says. “They understand those markets and know all of the different players.”

In the past 12 to 18 months, firms including D.E. Shaw Co., Maverick Capital, Brookside Capital and Tudor Ventures, as well as hedge-fund investor James Pallotta, have joined Tiger in putting more money into promising yet risky tech companies.

But Tiger has been especially active. Founded in 2001 by Charles “Chase” P. Coleman III, a protege of hedge-fund investor Julian Robertson, the firm launched its first private-equity fund in 2003. In 2009, it began buying large blocks of stock in companies like Zynga, LinkedIn and Facebook on the secondary market. Its 4.2% stake in LinkedIn, amassed at a cost of about $70 million, is now valued at nearly $400 million. (Mr. Coleman declined to comment for this article.)

Starting last summer, Tiger began ramping up its investments in private companies in India, China, Brazil, Russia and other emerging markets. This year alone, it has invested in six Indian start-ups, including consumer electronics retailer LetsBuy.com, online fashion site Exclusively.in, and online bookseller Flipkart.

Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart, says Tiger’s $20 million investment will help the company build out its logistics operations so that it can handle 15 to 20 times the number of orders it handles today.

Ilja Laurs is chief executive of GetJar, a start-up with offices in Silicon Valley and Lithuania that operates an online marketplace for wireless applications. It got $25 million from investors led by Tiger in February. Mr. Laurs says he appreciates that Tiger is comfortable in a passive role and hasn’t taken a board seat.

Mr. Laurs says investors like Tiger have expanded his options. “An IPO used to be the only way to raise more than $100 million,” he says. “If you need less than $1 billion, there are alternative sources available” now.

Edward Lampert, the hedge-fund investor who controls Sears Holdings Corp., has become interested in private tech companies too. He recently assigned Daniel Levine, an analyst at his hedge fund, ESL Investments, to look for opportunities.

This year, Mr. Levine attended two events hosted by start-up incubator TechStars to hear entrepreneurs pitch investors. ESL declined comment, but people familiar with Mr. Lampert’s intentions say he is seeking firms that can benefit from connections with retailers like Sears.

Other investors, such as Mr. Pallotta, who once managed money at Tudor Investments and now runs Raptor Group, have a history of backing private companies. So far, he has put his own money in about 30 start-ups, including online video service Bedrocket and Web advertising provider Spongecell.

Now, he is starting a new venture fund, raising outside capital and setting a target of slightly less than $100 million, people familiar with the matter say. Late last month, he also launched a consulting business called Raptor Accelerator to advise the companies he invests in. The launch party was held at his New York office, an urban aerie that sits atop the Apple store on West 14th Street.

Ben Kartzman, chief executive of Spongecell, an Internet advertising start-up that received less than $1 million in financing last month from Mr. Pallotta and Google Inc. Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, says Mr. Pallotta introduced him to an executive at a large media company, opening the door to a discussion about using Spongecell’s technology.

“Jim has this set of really senior relationships,” Mr. Kartzman says. “It’s the kind of access I don’t think we would have gotten.”
