Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. is an American global alternative investment firm.

Activities

On April 12, 2010, Cerberus acquired the very spooky private government services contractor DynCorp International, which is linked to international sex trafficking, for approximately $1 billion and the assumption of $500 million of debt.

On May 11, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump named Cerberus founder Stephen Feinberg to head the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.

Founder Feinberg has been described as "secretive" in The New York Times.

In 2007, Feinberg told Cerberus shareholders, "If anyone at Cerberus has his picture in the paper and a picture of his apartment, we will do more than fire that person. We will kill him. The jail sentence will be worth it."

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine suggested the killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Kashoggi may have been trained by a U.S. private military contractor calledTier One, whose main investor is Stephen Feinberg.

Donald Trump/Second presidency	“My opinion generally is that some figures in the Trump administration were kind of chosen as a PR move and that they're not actually in charge of what they're nominally in charge of. "So, like Pete Hegseth, head of the Pentagon, he's kind of a Fox and Friends, you know, he's a TV show host. And the The Deputy Director of the Pentagon, Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital, is most likely the person actually running the Pentagon, not Hegseth, in my opinion. "And I think that's true also for, RFK Junior in charge of HHS. I don't really think he's running. He's just kind of this figure that connected with Trump's base, particularly during the Covid era, and made them think reforms would come. And those reforms haven't really come, but he's kind of there to give the impression that things have changed. But the person behind him, the deputy secretary, is Jim O'Neill, who's a career affiliate of Peter Thiel who's also the power behind J.D. Vance and, you know, the man that made Palantir what it is. "And so, you know, I think it's just a way of sort of masking the people that are actually running stuff. And I think that's probably true, too, of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. They were making the rounds on podcasts and were making these connections and building trust and relationships with the public in Trump's base. But it seems like they're not actually, running anything, in my opinion. They're kind of figureheads in a way, and they're willing figureheads. I would say."”	Whitney Webb	28 July 2025
