New York State’s top cop is joining an effort to solve a riddle -- who or what controls HNA Group Co., the Chinese conglomerate that’s been collecting stakes in banks, hotels and is poised to buy Anthony Scaramucci’s hedge fund firm.

Eric Schneiderman, the New York Attorney General, sent a letter Thursday asking for more information about a charity that owns part of HNA.
