Interesting Observations about Suspect:
- A man who had spent his entire life exploiting weaknesses in the financial system would surely chafe at such restrictions.
- But for a man pathologically driven to play the game, that's a small price to pay. Might even be a plus. Given that it would hide your gains amongst the crowd.
- Money is in a blind trust. That means he can't touch it? More than that, he can't even know how it's managed.
- Money is managed by a second-tier brokerage house at best. More prominent firms refused his business because of the miasma that still surrounds him.
- His investments are all in computer-traded funds, which deliver a return far less than the profits he once made.
