Oh Dear! How will he survive??"Regulators on Friday banned Point72 Asset Management's Steven Cohen from supervising hedge funds until 2018.
The deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission settles allegations that Cohen failed to effectively monitor a former portfolio manager who engaged in insider trading. Cohen has neither admitted guilt nor denied the charges, which stem from when the firm was known as SAC Capital Advisors.

So you're saying the SEC enforcement division, whose job it is to enforce insider trading laws, are "envious bureaucrats, with career advancement motives"? So what is it, do you want them to do their job or not do their job? If they don't do it, they're lazy bureaucrats. If they do, they're "envious bureaucrats". Do you dispute the insider trading conviction and failure to supervise, or do you just hate all "gubment bureaucrats" because your political views require you to?there is a law of large numbers that applies here also. he was not unlucky. his seemingly huge success caught the attention of envious bureaucrats, with career advancement motives, looking for a way to bring his downfall.

... Cohen is very wealthy, he can afford the BEST infrastructure and trading talent that money can buy, and yet he still resorts to insider trading. ...
I tend to disagree. I think that to a certain extent what you said its true, but let's not forget something: money can't buy everything, talents have their way.
