Gotcha. Well the funds are not illegal or secret, let's put it that way :)

I do think the world of Wall St. and Washington would make a crazy interesting movie. Maybe the "evil" funds buy stakes in various companies then lobby greedy politicians to make new laws aimed at giving advantages and profits to only those specific companies. At the same time these Dr. Evil types employ a revolving door strategy where they send trusted fund employees to work in government and they hire retiring politicians for huge salaries to make up the years they were underpaid "doing public service". Just an idea.
