I havnt been following the discussion here on the fund. but Im wondering if
everybody thinks these guys actted improperly. If you look at the margin on
spreads they are very low and they were leveraged out in the cash probubly
to a lower level then you could trade the futures spreads at. In my
experience most big govie operations trade the spreads in a big way, these
guys just got stuck.

I did not state that the managers are indemnified from prosecution.
Most funds imdemnifiy their investment managers. Which means that the
directors of the fund will not go after the investment manager in
case of losses.Furthermore the fund reimburses the investment
manager's legal fees in case investors or prosecutors go after him
personally.
