发帖数: 3365 | 1 Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., has accused a former hedge fund
analyst of stealing documents that detailed the methods and application of
two trading models from a major New York hedge fund firm that specializes in
quantitative trading.
Kang Gao, a 28-year-old who until recently worked as a quantitative analyst
at Two Sigma Investments, was arrested last week and charged by the
Manhattan District Attorney of felony offenses, including computer trespass,
criminal possession of computer related material and unauthorized use of
secret scientific material. Gao admitted to Matthew Winters, a senior
investigator of the New York County District Attorney’s Office, that he had
emailed himself models that he was not permitted to view, according to a
felony complaint filed in New York state court in Manhattan. Gao emailed to
his personal email account copies of documents describing the trading models
in late January and emailed a confidential presentation outlining research
and market overviews in August, the court document says.
Gao pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to his lawyer, Benjamin Yu.
“My client indicated he is innocent of all charges and any incidents had
no nefarious purposes,” Yu said.
Two Sigma, which manages some $14 billion, was founded in 2001 by John
Overdeck and David Siegel, former high-level employees of hedge fund firm D.
