A case study from The Man Who Solved the Market: the mathematician who fixed Medallion's model, then sold his stake for six times his cost, just before it went through the roof.

Elwyn Berlekamp rebuilt Medallion around trades held a day and a half, lifted the fund 55.9 percent in 1990, then sold his stake to Simons for six times his cost and went back to Berkeley, thinking it a steal.
