Christopher Faille

Christopher Faille (born 1958) is an American author and journalist. He is a frequent contributor to the Forbes online blog and has had one article published in Reason magazine. He was one of the first reporters to write full time about hedge funds, because he was the first hire at a then new website called HedgeWorld, in 2000.[1] HedgeWorld was purchased by Reuters in 2005, so from then until the fall of 2008 he had the title Correspondent (and later Senior Correspondent) in the Reuters system.

Faille writes on financial and legal issues,[2] and is the co-author, with David O'Connor, of Basic Economic Principles: A Guide for Students (2000).[3] In 1995, he authored The Decline and Fall of the Supreme Court: Living Out the Nightmares of the Federalists (Prager Publishing).[4] In 2012, he authored Gambling with Borrowed Chips (Abbott Press), a heretical account of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08.

Faille is a graduate of Marist College (1979) and the Western New England College School of Law (1982).

In spring 2020, Faille began contributing to Alternatives Watch, which is a web platform that tracks institutional investing in hedge funds and private equity.[5]
