Oh I thought u knew
he’s the ai investor that got liquidated leading to what we just saw over the last couple days on the market
here’s some context:
One of the most famous Al investors just learned the most expensive lesson in markets: being right eventually means nothing if leverage forces you out today.
Leopold Aschenbrenner's hedge fund, Situational Awareness, gained 439% during the first half of 2026 by making aggressive, leveraged bets on companies powering the Al boom.
Then Al stocks began falling. The fund reportedly lost around 67% in July, and its lenders pressured it to either raise fresh capital or reduce its positions.
Unable to secure enough liquidity quickly, the fund was forced to unwind most of its public stock portfolio. Ken Griffin's Citadel stepped in and purchased the bulk of the leveraged holdings through a deal involving several major Wall Street banks.
