Group-
 
Can anyone shed light on this 
issue?  These questions come from an 
ananomous man who purportedly lost some money thru a <FONT face=Arial 
size=2>hedge fund fraud.  The problem is that I don't understand the nature 
of the questions and how they relate to the way the <FONT face=Arial 
size=2>money was stolen?  Can anyone tell me how they stole his money 
and the Prime Broker link?  I can only 
get info
in bits and pieces and my correspondent is 
often lazy with providing me information.  
 
Thanks for your time, attention, and any 
feedback.
