I want to leave some $$ in a hedgefund to see what happens.
do you want to see what happens? I'm sure they won't steal from you because they're regulated, well at least they're not supposed to steal from you.
Based on how OP described it, I think OP just wanted to make a small sizeable bet on bitcoin and want to "see what happens". Not necessarily referring to seeing if the hedge fund will end up scamming or not.
