Hedge funds have a reputation for secrecy, but they do have a great influence on the markets since they operate billions of dollars and that's why there have been several calls for regulations.

Since the fund had over $9 billion under management, the losses exceeded 65%. Amaranth failed in keeping the most important rule, namely not to wager more than you can afford losing. Amaranth liquidated its assets, but in July 2007 Brian Hunter founded a new hedge found, called Solegno Capital Advisors, which received attention for suing dealbreaker.com.
