A botched case against Hedge Fund Billionaire Steve Cohen




Steve Cohen, Chicago billionaire hedgy, is without doubt enjoying his 4th of July weekend holiday. Throw some more dogs on the grille, baby. It's party time. Invite the neighbors, honey.

Enjoy watching Cubs baseball this weekend!

Steve.
