Hunter Says Solengo On The Brink, Blames Regulator

Erstwhile Amaranth Advisors energy trader Brian Hunter, whose natural gas trades sank the Greenwich, Conn., hedge fund, filed an 18-page tale of worry and woe with a federal court in Washington, D.C. on Friday, painting a picture of desperation and impending doom for his latest venture, hedge fund Solengo Capital Advisors. He is blaming Solengo’s problems on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has accused him of market manipulation in relation to trades he made at his former firm.
