An in-depth, well-researched look at 100 hedge fund frauds
Compared to mutual funds, hedge funds are the James Bonds of the
marketplace. They have been relatively unfettered by government
regulation, and they play bigger games, take bigger risks, use
unorthodox methods, and have the power to capture the public
imagination in a way that their lesser counterparts have difficulty
approaching. At once fascinating and startling, The Hedge Fund
Fraud Casebook provides readers with a broad knowledge of hedge
fund regulation through a look at the first 100 cases of proven
fraud at hedge funds.
Compiling concrete data on cases of hedge fund fraud, The
Hedge Fund Fraud Casebook provides you with a factual
foundation for assessing this difficult area of risk.
* First comprehensive survey of hedge fund fraud including 100
chronological fraud cases
* Includes descriptions of each case, diagram of the player
interaction, and tables detailing monies recovered, fines paid,
prison terms, and professional sanctions
* Useful for both individual and professional investors,
particularly given the last eighteen months of fraud and
mismanagement among leading financial professionals and
companies
The Hedge Fund Fraud Casebook provides a hedge fund
professional’s look at fraud and can help you prevent or avoid
similar frauds in the future. It’s a vital resource for any hedge
fund manager or investor.
