Getting a little bit of schadenfreude, I see.  /justkidding

 

 

You've hit it bang-on.  There's no "just kidding" about it.  Some of us have trouble forgetting 2003.  Frankly, SAC helped me make a pile of money, so...  Same with John Hempton.

 

However, I do agree with posts that ridicule Fabrice Taylor!!!

I don't even get why he's panicking to keep money from leaving his fund. Him and his employees own over half of the AUM.

 

And who cares if Cohen won't be able to keep existing money in the fund? Dude has made it by already amassing his billions. Not like he'll be sweating even a tad bit for the rest of his life.

It goes to show doing unethical actions may pay in the short term but in the long term you will be eventually caught.

 

I agree :)

I am not sure I would suggest he is panicking at all.  However, I think he is looking at getting prosecuted for some of the biggest insider trades ever done.  This will leave him wide open for massive fines, lawsuits to follow, and substantial jail time.  The billions will quickly become millions.  The shark is going to rot while he is in jail rotting himself. 

 

By any measure I have ever read he is a sociopath.  In that culture, even his fellow investors (employees) are going to sue his ass off if they lose money, which they will.

Here's a quote from NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/23/business/steven-cohen-of-sac-is-fascinating-to-investigators-too.html?pagewanted=all) I was looking for:

 

As for Steve Cohen, he could walk away tomorrow, return every dime to his investors. And, barring the worst, he would be left, in quiet splendor, to trade with a fortune few can even fathom.

 

Cheers!
