Every week, we are getting the news of scams and frauds involving hedge fund businesses. This is definitely a matter of concern for the investors and financers. Ira Chilowitz, a former consultant to Morgan Stanely was arrested and charged with stealing and electronic list of hedge funds that are clients of S3 Partners, a hedge fund advisory firm. Ira has been charged with conspiracy and unauthorized computer access. It may be just another fraud for the readers. However, the gravity of the situation needs to be understood. We must find out the solutions to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
