Boston, Princeton and East Setauket, 1938 to 2024. James Simons wins a prize in geometry, builds a mathematics department on Long Island, breaks codes for a defense contractor, is fired for saying in print that he opposes the war, and opens a currency-trading office in a storefront beside a pizzeria. The fund he assembles there, Medallion, returns roughly sixty-six percent a year before fees for three decades and nobody outside the firm can say how. The returns are documented; the method never has been. What the record holds instead is who was hired, what each of them had already published, what a Senate subcommittee found, what the firm paid the Treasury, and where its own people disagreed in public about who deserved the credit. Covers James Simons, Leonard Baum, James Ax, Elwyn Berlekamp, Henry Laufer, Peter Brown, Robert Mercer, Renaissance Technologies, Medallion, Monemetrics, and Axcom.
