recently my online friend, whom we never met, is looking for a job. the head hunter introduces him to a hedge fund, which is owned by my former classmate. Should I call my classmate to recommend the online friend?

if you think it is a good fit why not?
what are your reservations?

1) since it is an online friend, i can not say i know him too much.
2) he did not explicitly ask me to do.
3) i do not know my classmate firm' job description yet.
4) i am not so sure if he will fit there very well. his background: a current tenured professor in computer science in a local teaching college; also spending lots of time building models; i am not sure how good his model will be; had some experience trading Emini, using averaging down, then went broke; this year traded option straddles, up 26% so far. he wants to find a new job so that his kids can find a better place to study.
