Nice username. I thought all these things because I never heard the other side of the story, now I&#x27;m not sure what I think.<p>These guys aren&#x27;t sitting around by themselves making money in a vacuum, they&#x27;re also allegedly engaging in illegal and&#x2F;or unethical financial fuckery, for lack of a better term, and obviously spending money on politicians which may or may not mean anything at all.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.motherjones.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;hedge-fund-taxes-superpacs-election-renaissance" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.motherjones.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2014&#x2F;10&#x2F;hedge-fund-taxes...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.motherjones.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;hedge-fund-hedges-its-political-bets-rentech-renaissance-technologies" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.motherjones.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;hedge-fund-hedge...</a><p>Before any bias is expressed against motherjones, all I want to say is that these two articles are the only even quasi-critical voices I have seen, which also points out the timing and circumstances that surrounded the publication of the article that enamored me of James Simons: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;08&#x2F;science&#x2F;a-billionaire-mathematicians-life-of-ferocious-curiosity.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;08&#x2F;science&#x2F;a-billionaire-math...</a><p>Anyway, everything is grey and nothing is black and white.
