The men behind the legendary finance blog Zero Hedge have been unmasked after one former blogger with the site revealed the identity of his employers.
Speaking with Bloomberg reporters Tracy Alloway and Luke Kawa, Colin Lokey — described as a "political science graduate with an MBA and a Southern twang" — said he was part of a three-man team running Zero Hedge, the blog best known for its sensationalist headlines and bearish outlook on the world.
Lokey, 32, says the other men behind the site are 37-year-old Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian former hedge fund analyst, and Tim Backshall, a 45-year-old credit derivatives strategist. Lokey claims to have worked for Zero Hedge for more than a year.
The identity of the bloggers running Zero Hedge has long been the subject of speculation in the financial community, with Ivandjiiski often cited as the likely source of much of the site's content. As early as 2009, speculation that Ivandjiiski could be behind the blog appeared in US media, with a New York Post article titled "BLOGGER MAY HAVE A PAST" speculating that he was in fact behind Zero Hedge.
Ivandjiiski worked in a hedge fund before being kicked out of the securities industry during the height of the financial crisis in 2008 for insider trading, the report says.

Now if only the zerosense hedgehog blog can unmask the “business insider” blog (the bi-blog), we’ll be getting somewhere.
Not sure care what the real identity of sundress at conservative clothestree is. :-)
I detest people like you. Sun Dance has been on the leading edge of good conservative posts for ages now. He's certainty done more for actual conservatives than most of the conservative media.
He led the charge on expose the fraud that was the Zimmerman railroading while most of so called Conservative sites just spouted the MSN official line on that racist murdering white man, Zimmerman. He dug and dug and exposed what actually happened that night and helped save Zimmerman from a crime he didn't commit. Sundance was digging up real facts that helped clear the man.
Just because someones not slobbering all over Cruz live you, gives you no right to attack a good solid conservative. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I detest blog pimps.
Thanks blam.
I was all over the Zimmerman case from the beginning, and I don’t remember some bozo named Sundance.

And now that I think about it, unless he or she was blogging from Florida, it’s not even possible that the information he or she was providing was anything but rehash.
Then where were you getting YOUR information?
Because Sundance completely dismantled the dishonest presentations made by the MSM.

I don’t remember, frankly. But I was not getting my information from a blog.
I detest both of you.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Go read the start of the archive on it if you want to learn the truth.
I’d rather that you post one or two examples, here.
Am I missing something? Except for vanities, everything posted on FR is a news article or blog article from another site (with or without being excerpted per copyright law) that we then discuss here at FR. If we didn't "pimp" someone else's article I guess we wouldn't have much on a site would we.
Self righteous much?
>I’d rather that you post one or two examples, here.
And I’d rather you didn’t call someone a bozo without checking your facts first. But hey it’s an imperfect world and you’re going to have to do your own research.
The Conservative Treehouse blew the lid on the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” lie of Ferguson; he busted open the Trayvon story as a lie. Lately he’s connected the dots (via FEC.gov) to the Cruz superpacs paying off “conservative” media. He does the investigative journalism that the investigative journalists won’t do. He’s a hero and a friend to US-—maybe not to you, in which case you may be in the wrong place. He’s busted lie after lie of Ted Cruz. Is that bothering you? If you’re a cruzbot, please leave. Otherwise Sundance deserves the respect we give heroes like JR.
RedWulf: see my post 37. Time for a zot on these people like Lucindo.
Who is this sundress of whom you speak?
Nacho-—spot on. I get so tired of people coming here expression their “opinion” that is totally uninformed (the very DEFINITION of a Cruzer). People need to master an issue-—the info is free and at your fingertips, in the Internet-—before posting on FR and demonstrating they don’t know a f-ing thing about it.
