A quick rundown of hedge funds involved:

Diamondback Capital Management

This fund is run by managers Larry Sapanski and Richard Schimel, both formerly of SAC Capital. The fund has $5.3 billion in assets under management. Diamondback currently owns—or once owned—HGSI a genomics-based pharmaceutical company that was involved in an insider trading case, resulting in the arrest of a doctor earlier this month. A third cofounder Chad Loweth, left earlier this month, at about the time it's believed the current investigation against Diamondback began to ramp up. (Ownership in HGSI according to official SEC documents, made available by Business Insider.) According to their Bloomberg profile , Diamondback invests in equities globally, including emerging markets.

Two others raided were Level Global Investors, Loch Capital Management. Both are run by former managers of SAC Capital Advisors.
