Hedge Fund Titans Choosing Hillary Clinton Over Top Republicans , URL will not resolve..... Can someone dig up that article? (got it to resolve, on Bing)

Gee, I hope hillary clinton is not tied to the hip with Sanjay Valvani, Visium Asset Management and Jake Gottlieb.

And a corrupt government FDA official.

Funny how that works. Especially when a major hillary clinton donator is now dead.





Hedge fund manager charged with insider trading reportedly found dead in apparent suicide

A manager at one of the biggest hedge funds facing insider trading accusations was found dead Monday night in an apparent suicide less than a week after prosecutors filed charges against him, Dow Jones reports.

Sanjay Valvani, a 44-year-old partner and money manager at Visium Asset Management LP in New York City, was charged last Wednesday with five counts including securities fraud and conspiracy. Prosecutors said Valvani made at least $32 million from trades based on confidential tips about drug approvals. He pleaded not guilty.

His wife found him with a wound to his neck at their home in Brooklyn, according to police. They said they recovered a knife and a suicide note.

Valvani paid a former Food and Drug Administration employee to pass along tips about pending drug approvals from an ex-colleague, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. He also accused Valvani of sending some of those tips to portfolio manager Christopher Plaford, who made his own illegal trades.

Valvani's attorney, Barry Berke, called his client "an innocent man whose investment decisions were always based on rigorous and entirely appropriate research and analysis.''

Visium announced Friday it would sell one of its funds and shut the rest. The firm had managed $8 billion at its peak, Bloomberg reported, but uneasy clients pulled out billions of dollars after details of the federal investigation went public earlier this year.

Hillary Clinton's Donations From Hedge Fund Titans Exceed Republicans
Sunday, 19 Jul 2015 04:12 PM


Hillary Clinton received donations from some of the biggest names in the hedge fund industry, including Paul Tudor Jones, even as the presidential candidate wants to boost their tax rate.

Jones, the billionaire founder of Tudor Investment Corp., Jamie Dinan, who started York Capital, and Neil Chriss, who runs Hutchin Hill Capital, each contributed the maximum $2,700 to Clinton’s bid for the White House, according to Federal Election Commission filings for the second quarter.





Clinton, who’s made closing the wealth gap the centerpiece of her campaign, lured more donations from boldface industry names than Republican candidates 16 months before the election. Hedge fund managers, their employees and family members donated at least $54,000 to Clinton, a Democrat, according to the FEC. Republicans Jeb Bush got at least $27,000, Marco Rubio took in at least $10,800 while Carly Fiorina received at least $4,200.

“Something is wrong when CEOs earn more than 300 times than what the typical American worker earns and when hedge fund managers pay a lower tax rate than truck drivers or nurses,” Clinton said in May.


The candidate’s populist rhetoric didn’t dissuade many managers from supporting her. They include Frank Brosens, co-founder of Taconic Capital Advisors, Mitchell Julis, co-founder Canyon Partners, David Shaw, the billionaire founder of D.E. Shaw & Co., BlueMountain Capital Management Managing Partner James Staley, Jake Gottlieb, who runs Visum Asset Management, and Richard Perry, who heads Perry Capital.

Bush, Rubio and Fiorina drew a smaller cohort of top hedge fund managers.

Bush drew support from Dan Loeb, the billionaire founder of Third Point, Scott Kapnick, who runs Highbridge Capital Management, and Robert Pohly, founder of Samlyn Capital. Hudson Bay’s Sander Gerber and Bracebridge Young, chief executive officer of Mariner Investment Group, also donated to the candidate.
