Brilliant minds! I am sure you will find many recognizable faces invloved in this white crime case. Jim Simons (James H. Simons) is/was a director there and was in no way directly involved with this another scam operation. For informational purposes only.
Note: James H. Simons, to best of my limited current knowledge, was not involved with the scam operation Xamplify Inc (and also a very racist one.). Here, James Simon's remarkable achivements are listed.

James Simons: James Simons runs Renaissance Technologies Hedge Fund whose Medallion Fund was, perhaps the most successful large hedge fund ever. Medallion Hedge Fund seems to be closed to new investors now and even Renaissance Technologies Corporation seems to be doing so. UC Berkeley's Elwyn Berlekamp, another mathematician, managed Renaissance Technologies Medallion Hedge Fund in past. Brilliant chaps - Berlekamp and James H. Simons.
