@nio_trade: At just 24 years old Leopold Aschenbrenner has become worldwide famous for his successful private and public investments in AI infrastructure companies via his Situational Awareness fund. The fund delivered record breaking returns measured in tens of billions of dollars in just a few short years, surpassing by AUM many seasoned legends of Wallstreet like Bill Ackman. But that’s all before Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel Securities, entered the picture. Knowing the extreme amounts of leverage Leopold had in his public market positions, Ken (allegedly) used his immense influence in the market to drive up Fed Funds rate hike fears, in order to destroy the value of Leopold’s leveraged positions, causing a liquidity crunch and making him sell his private market positions (like Anthropic) at significant discounts to market rates. Some people say Ken Griffin is the coldest man alive, and I fear this situation solidifies that narrative
