How the 1% Scrubs Its Image Online
'Prominent figures from Jacob Gottlieb to Betsy DeVos got help from a reputation management firm that can bury image-sensitive Google results by placing flattering content on websites that masquerade as news outlets,'

'Jacob Gottlieb was considering raising money for a hedge fund. One problem: His last one had collapsed in a scandal. While Mr. Gottlieb wasn’t accused of wrongdoing, googling his name prominently surfaced news articles chronicling the demise of Visium Asset Management LP, which once managed $8 billion. The results also included articles about his top portfolio manager, who died by suicide days after he was indicted for insider trading in 2016, and Mr. Gottlieb’s former brother-in-law an employee of Visium who was convicted of securities fraud.'

'Visium Asset Management LP was an American multi-strategy hedge fund. It began as a healthcare-focused hedge fund, founded in 2005 by Jacob Gottlieb.
In March 2016, Visium notified shareholders that Visium was being investigated by the United States Justice Department and the SEC regarding the company's actions in regard to their Credit Opportunities Fund which had been shut down in 2013.[12] The investigation led to large customer withdrawals.[18] Later in June, three traders at the firm were charged with securities fraud.[2][19] Sanjay Valvani and Chris Plaford were indicted for insider trading while Plaford and Stefan Lumiere were accused of inflating the value of the Credit Opportunities Fund.[9]

Liquidation
In the wake of the controversy, Jacob Gottlieb wound down the company.[6][10] Following negotiations with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018, the company disgorged $10 million to regulators, and closed the activities of the firm.[33][34] The firm began liquidation two years earlier, selling its primary investment fund to AllianceBernstein.[35] As of August 19, 2019, the firm was operating under the name VA Management LP.['
