Bloomberg – Fairfield Greenwich Group, the hedge fund that lost $7 billion invested with Bernard Madoff, accused a Massachusetts regulator of “factual distortions” and told a judge that it closely monitored its investment.

The firm said yesterday it filed court papers challenging an April 1 administrative complaint by Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who claimed Fairfield Greenwich defrauded investors by misrepresenting what it knew about Madoff’s business. The filing is the firm’s most extensive statement to date about how it monitored its Madoff investment.

West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.net)- William Galvin, Massachusetts’ top securities regulator has charged the hedge fund manager of the River Stream Fund with improperly soliciting investors.

The investigation also turned up a brokerage statement that showed the fund had $1,625 in its account in April. Regan had said he ran $15 million. The regulator said investors who entrusted their savings to Regan feared the money is now lost.

Investigators found River Stream client data thrown into a dumpster near an empty office where Regan said he worked. Wiliam Galvin, whose job includes protecting investors in Massachusetts, has waged aggressive campaigns against anyone caught trying to cheat investors.
