High up in a Manhattan conference room on Sunday, a group of investment
gurus discussed Occupy Wall Street. Should they support a set of
tough-sounding financial reforms just proposed on the campaign trail by
presidential candidate Jon Huntsman? Or was it reasonable to demand even
deeper reforms? "This isn't enough," argued Cathy O'Neil, a former
hedge fund quant who
organizes the group, a branch of Occupy Wall Street known as the
Alternative Banking Group. She proposed that the gathering of financial
experts come up with improvements to Huntsman's plan and present them to
Occupy Wall Street's General Assembly. Another OWS supporter, whose day
job involves consulting for private equity firms, looked up from his
laptop and smiled. "That's an excellent idea!"
