I heard Tandem started trading, lost a lot of money, then stopped and tried to 're-launch' so they could go back to investors and try to raise money...and neglect to tell them....They might have changed their name or something? I don't have the whole story.

Tandem has not started trading. Joe Petri rocks! And whoever posted the comment - simply blows! Quit being a "hater."

Who is Joe Petri? He's some kind of great trader? Where was he before?

Nah, Joe Petri was some management meatball at HSBC when i worked there, he is not a trader, I think he came from sales maybe? Just another shmo who got pushed out of an investment bank and trying to start a hedge fund...I'm not sure about the timing, to say the least!

Yeah HSBC is total crap. Don't hedge fund guys come from Goldman or maybe JP Morgan or Morgan Stanley? Not HSBC, that's for sure....

Who was that guy who said 'quit being a hater' responding to somebody reporting a hedge fund blowup? Um, what is this thread supposed to be about, idiot? The whole 'Dealbreaker' board is about dishing wall street and hedge fund dirt. Not 'Yay, this hedge fund is real cool, the guys in it are da bomb'. Why don't you go cry, what do you work at that failing fund, whichever one it was?

Greylock Capital is down over 30% and has lost about 80% of its assets to redemptions. Almost its entire senior investment team left the firm before the summer as well. We were smart enough to redeem several months ago.

The Agile Group is a fund of funds in Colorado -- but their website has disappeared. This was Neal Greenberg's operation...did they have money with Madoff?

Agile was involved with first the Petters fraud and then the Madoff.
Ugh.

Is the Agile Group completely insolvent? Is legal action being taken against Neal Greenberg for failure to perform adequate due diligence? I assume he has acquired substantial personal assets over the years, and hopefully investors will be able to make claims against him.

I'd also like to know details about the Agile Group blowing up. There has been nothing in the local press and nothing on the web.

FYI, Joe Petri was the 30 Year Bond Trader for Merrill and then went on to run MM, FX, Muni. Repo and Trsy for Merrill before creating Summit Capital. After Summit, he went on to HSBC. Joe is a great leader and very well respected market veteran.
