We've lost one of the true originals of finance. Vic Niederhoffer gave me my start in trading and inspired me by his example. A scholar, a champion squash player, a brilliant and endlessly curious mind and as kind and generous as he was sharp. I was very lucky to know him.He'll be deeply missed. RIP
