Maybe the trouble will come not from the mortgage market but from investors reading the headlines and starting to pull out billions out of hedge funds ?

It is unlikely that anyone starts a hedge fund with an intent to defraud investors. 99% of the time fraud is a result of a manager trying to mask and recover from a bad bet in the market.

June 21 (Bloomberg) -- Hedge-fund manager Ritchie Capital Management Ltd.'s two Irish based funds filed for bankruptcy protection after losses of more than $700 million it blamed on a co-investor's alleged fraud.

Ritchie's two Dublin-based funds, Ritchie Risk-Linked Strategies Trading (Ireland) Ltd. and Ritchie Risk-Linked Strategies Trading (Ireland) Ltd. II, both filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy yesterday in New York bankruptcy court. The two petitions listed debt of $811 million. Court filings said the assets are undetermined.
