Turns Out Hedge Fund Bribery Does Have Victims (Deal Breaker) For more than three years, the hedge fund formerly known as Och-Ziff Capital Management has been trying to put its unfortunate "go to Africa and bribe every public official you happen to meet" scandal in the past. It managed to tamp down on the redemption requests and turn around what had been some pretty appalling performance in spite of all the bribery. It put founder Dan Och in the rearview mirror both literally and figuratively. Sure, people keep getting sent to jail over the whole affair, but those people are former Och-Ziffers, and there's not even an Och-Ziff anymore for them to have formerly been a part of. CEO Rob Shafir was so confident he went on television announcing that Och-Ziff, er, Sculptor Capital Management had indeed put all of the unpleasantness behind it, what with the $400 million settlement and quiet and successful lobbying of the SEC to let it raise money like any normal, non-bribey hedge fund.
