According to a New York Times report, Grayson’s anti-greed rantings may have been a bit of projection:
The hedge fund manager boasted that he had traveled to every country in the world, studying overseas stock markets as he fine-tuned an investment strategy to capitalize on global companies suffering because of economic or political turmoil.

No wonder so many members of Grayson’s staff have been jumping ship.
