Re:Nine Charged in Insider Trading Case Tied to Hackers by lordnacho on Tuesday August 11, 2015 @04:44PM (#10044252)
A trading account is much like a bank account. You can't just open a whole bunch of them, it takes a fair bit of documentation. And there's only so many banks you can do it with. You'd have to draft a bunch of people and send margin to all the accounts.

Perhaps a smarter thing to do would be to try to drown out the profits with noise from a market neutral basket. A gentle updraft in the PnL would be much harder to detect, and compounding would mean you'd get pretty rich anyway.

You could, but you'd have to be disciplined to the max, since the easier and logical thing to do would be to invest all of your resources into things that give you the best return, so you maximise your earning.
