He's a busy fellow, so it's always a possibility.
I suspect, however, that a hedge fund is doing some sort of highly leveraged trade - perhaps one combining futures and options. The "quants" analyze market inefficiencies, then seek to exploit those inefficiencies. Leverage is essential to make the very small percentage gain worthwhile as an investment.
Alas, that's not nearly as much fun as a deep, dark (and quite improbable) conspiracy.
