  The problem for a type of hedge fund like this is regulation that would apply to your instrument and its potential exposure to illegal activity. That is not insinuating that there IS that activity, but that there is a potential for it, and i can't see how the SEC would approve it.

  It would be akin to a hedge fund that was providing hedging to the industry of 'ransomware' or 'illicit drug distribution'. Unless you could ensure that this wasn't possible, I'm not sure you could ever list it.
