A large hedge fund manager quit the business and returnd his clients money
after rewurning almost 870%.  Below is an important part of his farewell
letter.

"``I was in this game for money,'' Lahde, 37, wrote in a two-page letter
today in which he said he had come to hate the hedge-fund business. ``The
low-hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and
then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were
(often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly
received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman
Brothers and all levels of our government."
