Matthew Goldstein says yes, as evidenced by the fact that no cruel or unusual restrictions or regulations are placed on them in the financial regulatory reform package (early drafts stated that managers had to appear on Power Lunch and interface with Dennis Kneale at least once a week, in addition to requiring them to wear fishnets and heels while trading or, in the case of firms that would welcome such attire, banned anything deemed "chick garb"). Obviously some hedge fund leading light is responsible for getting 'Bama to change his tune post-Chrysler public tongue lashing (and Biff Basness performance art). The question is who and how?

It's not hedge fund friendly reform. The SEC can share their reports with the Fed who can then classify a HF as a Tier 1 FHC; Tier 1 FHCs are subject to the highest form of regulation because they are considered a threat to the financial system. An institution will be qualified as a Tier 1 FHC based on (i) size, (ii) leverage and (iii) interconnectedness.

It was me. I don't find it hard to identify, given his smoking habits and time he spent (briefly) in NYC. Back in the day there used to be this little Jack in the Box out near Conscience Bay Rd. in Setauket, and he would come out and we would talk law and mathematics over fries.
It was only natural when he called me for advice; we headed over to Avalon Park for a chat, then to Smithtown for a bite and he took notes. Soros has been telling him some crazy one world regulation shit, and I just said, "Don't fuck the goose."
