I really hate how big hedge funds can consistently pull money out of the market using tools normal people don't have access to. When it bites them because they get caught with their hands in the cooky jar, they call the market "irrational" or that the "market is disturbed". But their profits are disturbed by people that play "their" game by the rules. Nobody likes to see a a billionaire get even more rich just by shu…

Yep, especially the Nasdaq CEO's suggestion to halt trading so the big players can "recalibrate their positions" (groan):

Ah.. halting seems like a nice tool for to use! Please halt trading during the next crash so us normies can recalibrate our positions. We need all the money we can get to bail out too-big-to-fail financial institutions afterwards. It would only be fair, right? Level the playing field.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wait, didn't DFV willingly did an interview with WSJ and made himself public? I never thought he was doxxed. (Or is it the situation where he did the interview with anonymity but somehow the WSJ messed it up like the case of SlateStarCodex? From looking at the contents of the interview it really doesn't seem like it.)

Multiple newspapers published his identity before the wsg article

Oh okay, I understand.
