An article on Habré about mathematicians who made money on Forex - link?

Question

Electronic commerce

Either on Habré, or on its satellite sites, I read an article about American mathematicians who created offices and, using their knowledge, almost ruled the entire market (and at least made excellent money and formed strategies). Either the forex market, or just exchanges. So the question is: what kind of article? I'm looking for, I can't find it either in Google or Yandex. Can anyone suggest?
