马多夫的骗局致法国一基金经理自杀
FRENCH MADOFF INVESTOR FOUND DEADA French money manager who placed $1.4bn with Bernard Madoff was found dead on Tuesday in what New York police called an apparent suicide as the financial industry continued to reel from Mr Madoff's alleged $50bn fraud.
Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, 65, chief executive of Access International Advisors, was pronounced dead at his Manhattan office, with cuts on both arms and wrists, and a box-cutter and pills nearby, police said.
No suicide note was found, but Raymond Kelly, New York police commissioner, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying: “Our investigative premise is that it was a suicide.”
The Paris newspaper La Tribune said that Mr Magon de la Villehuchet had spent the last week trying to recover some of the funds lost to Mr Madoff.
The death was revealed as Switzerland's Union Bancaire Privée, the world's second-biggest investor in hedge funds, responded to the Madoff affair by taking steps that could reshape the US hedge fund industry. UBP invested in Mr Madoff through several so-called feeder funds.
In an internal memo, the Swiss company instructed managers of the $56bn that it has allocated in hedge funds to put in immediate redemptions for any fund that does not have independent administrators and custodians. Administrators value a fund's assets and communicate with investors. Third-party administrators are required in the UK, but not in the US. Mr Madoff acted as custodian of assets that were placed with him and had no external administrator because he ran a brokerage, rather than a formal hedge fund, several investors say.
马多夫骗局致法国一基金经理自杀
正当金融业继续蒙受伯纳德?马多夫涉嫌诈骗500亿美元事件的影响之际，一位将14亿美元资金委托给马多夫的法国基金经理本周二被发现身亡，纽约警方称这明显是一起自杀事件。
Access International Advisors首席执行官、65岁的德拉维耶伊谢被宣告死于他在曼哈顿的办公室中。警方表示，他的手臂和手腕都有割痕，尸体附近有一把裁纸刀和一些药片。
警方没有发现自杀遗书，但彭博社援引纽约警察局长雷蒙德?凯利的话称：“我们调查行动的前提是，这是一起自杀事件。”
巴黎报纸《论坛报》称，德拉维耶伊谢上周一直在试图挽回部分被马多夫诈骗的资金。
死亡事件披露之际，全球第二大对冲基金投资者瑞士联合私立银行（Union Bancaire Privée，简称UBP）正采取可能重塑美国对冲基金业的措施，回应马多夫事件。UBP是通过几只所谓的“支线基金”对马多夫进行投资的。
UBP在对冲基金中投入了560亿美元。在一份内部备忘录中，这家瑞士公司指令管理对冲基金投资的经理，立即赎回任何没有独立管理人和保管人的基金。管理人负责评估基金资产的价值，并与投资者进行沟通。在英国，对冲基金必须任命第三方管理人，但在美国却不是如此。一些投资者表示，马多夫在担任受托资产保管人的情况下并没有任命外部管理人，因为他所经营的是一家经纪商，而非一只正式的对冲基金。
