Tello,

it´s rentec.com - no h - but I get your point. That site is as minimalist as can be. Well, if Mr. Grimaldi is for real he´s famous now.

That’s exactly why Renaissance Technologies, one of the biggest and most successful of the large quant funds in the world, has this website - www.rentech.com.

Hedge Fund marketing tactics and listing of public information is extremely regulated by the SEC and other financial regulatory authorities. The people I know in the hedge fund space (at least the ones who made incredible returns since SOX compliance) are not even mentioned on the internet.

Hedge Fund Offers $150k Reward for Obama/Khalidi Video …

You’ve probably heard the story by now that the Los Angeles Times is sitting on a video that was used as a source for an April article entitled Allies of Palestinians See a Friend in Obama. This issue surfaced over……

According to ATLAS SHRUGS WEBSITE Obama reportedly said this at the Khalidi dinner, “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”

Tello,

it is extremely hard to leave no internet trail. Especially if you carry a famous name. I am not sure if we can be sure that Aston Grimaldi exists and this offer is real.

This is what I wrote the LA Times. Think it was too harsh?

As a former journalist, I would like to thank you for holding on to the Barack Obama tape. One thing I learned in journalism school and I later passed on to college interns working at my paper, is no matter what public opinion may be at the time, a newspaper’s role to is suppress news, hide facts from the public, and change the outcome of elections as necessary.

I’m sure you are well aware that this was among the ideals that launched the American Revolution. I’m amazed at Fox News’s lack of understanding this! All one has to do is look at history and it clearly proves that our founders opposed freedom of speech, freedom to own firearms, low taxes and capitalism. But most of all, they loathed a media that was not under the control of political parties.

Once again, thank you for being the sheep that all journalists aspire to be.

Aston has ties to the Grimaldi family - I spoke with the organisers of the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco, one of their hedge funds was a sponsor.

The secrecy of the hedge fund world is probably why limited info comes up, a lot of it is regulated by the SEC, which is why they are allowed to have offices in New York. Try looking for BASEL II Accordance and of course Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance.

Unless they were already existing public figures, these characters stay out of the press.

What do we know about Aston Grimaldi? Take a look at the Dune Capital Employee contributions for 2008 cycle, leans pretty heavily to the left:
