‘Quant at Two Sigma Made Unauthorized Changes, Caused $620M in Gains and Losses’ Copy: https://archive.ph/BixFB https://archive.ph/BixFB “Wu’s changes led to gains of $450 million in total for some Two Sigma funds—including those in which the firm’s own executives and employees invest, as well as those available to clients.
