In the interview with
@vonniequinn she mentioned not only that had she launched the fund (Safkhet Capital) in January but that she was about to close the fund at the end of the month. Sounds good right?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
But wait, in an updated Bloomberg article on October 9th written by
@tatianadariee it’s mentioned that Fahmi Quadir’s fund is only $30m, and implied that fund is still open. This is all mentioned in passing natch and not subject to any scrutiny from@business.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Quite apart from overlooking the fund launch
@tatianadariee article profiles Quadir’s exciting new short position vs$TSLA.This is a $30m fund taking a new short position (max size 25% of AUM, so $7.5 at most)-only in July– vs the most shorted stock in the mkt. Worthy of comment?2 replies 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

As far as I am concerned John Hempton was way out in front on Valeant;he started publishing on$VRX short a full yr before Quadir supposedly happened on the company.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
