After a prolonged Hawaiian vacation, Paul Yook was finally ready to make his comeback.
His sojourn in paradise was always going to be temporary, but he needed it. Yook had managed a health-care portfolio at the Galleon Group LLC for five years until 2009, when the New York-based hedge fund became the target of an insider-trading investigation. Eventually, the company’s founder, Raj Rajaratnam, was convicted. Yook was never charged. But he took a chunk of time off in New York after Galleon shuttered and then, in 2011, moved his family about as far away from the turmoil as possible. After two and a half years, however, he was ready to say goodbye to the Aloha State.
