Mini-documentary on Steve Cohen

Read that book. I went to college with "Mathew Martoma". He was a senior, and I was a freshman. I know the professor mentioned in the book (Bruce), since 1996, the one that wrote all his recommendations. After ALL the lies, Martoma was so shameless to ask Bruce for a letter for his sentencing!!! Bruce refused.

Martoma is a sociopathic liar, and an expert manipulator. Unfortunately for him, he was outsmarted by Cohen (think about that), and he certainly did not have the $1.6 Billion for a "get out of jail" card. He really deserved jail, and it puts a smile on my face to think of his shitty aluminum toilet

It was a well known fact that SAC traded on inside information. I bet maritoma wasn’t the only POS psychopath at that firm on the longshort platform.
 
Be naive to think that hedge funds don’t dabble in borderline trades. The smart ones know how to hide it better

Hedge fund's biggest problem is their size. The bugger you get the harder it is to outperform. Smart funds put caps in place.

Depends on their goals.

A. Medallion fund from Renaissance Technologies, their fund that is only open to employee, caps at ten billion, up from six billion.

This is their legendary decades old market crushing fund.

You can't get in.

B. Most funds have no cap as their unstated goal is to part their clients from their money through fees, even though they think they figure to underperform.

Some pitch the idea they strive for lots of low correlation bets and/ or that they really know how to use that leverage and have expertise.

The Truth?

Much of the hedge fund industry is a scammy hustler industry as the great majority of funds figure to underperform over an extended period of time but of course they do not tell you this.

The great majority of the industry asks for large fees while providing negative alpha, without disclosing this.
