A hedge fund exec is funding hunts for treasures in shipwrecks at the bottom of the ocean

• A 43 year-old hedge fund exec was revealed as one of the world's leading deep-sea treasure hunters.
•  For years he's been funding missions and investing in high-tech tools to discover shipwrecks.
• Though not technically illegal, shipwreck hunters must register all their discoveries. 

A hedge fund executive has been unmasked as one of the world's leading deep-sea shipwreck hunters after a Bloomberg Businessweek investigation uncovered his decades-long hunt for sunken treasure worth billions.

Anthony Clake, a 43-year-old executive at Marshall Wace in London, has not been going to the bottom of the ocean himself, however. He's been investing in and directing high-tech operations to find lost treasures on the ocean floor.
