Hedge-Fund Manager Saiers Offers Banksy $100,000 for Sandy Help

Volatility hedge-fund manager Nelson Saiers wants to make a $100,000 trade with Banksy, the British graffiti artist.

Saiers, chief investment officer of Saiers Capital LLC, has offered the money to the Hurricane Sandy rebuilding effort if Banksy uses one of his wall murals to raise awareness for people still affected by the storm. Unsolicited works from Banksy, who keeps his identity secret to avoid prosecution for graffiti, are appearing on New York City streets as part of a show during October.
