This Leopold / Situational Awareness story is crazy.
> Go from $1.5B to $20B in under two years.> Over 1,000% since launch, 270% ytd to May alone.> Jane Street which almost never allocates to external managers becomes an investor.> $24B near the highs, levered as much as 4x. Up 439% for H1'26.> July 2026: AI names go down as much as 50%.> Compounded with up to 4x margin...> Leopold sends letter to LPs for additional capital reported by FT yesterday, says that this is a buying opp.> Today: CNBC reports Situational Awareness has exited all public equity positions.> One buyer takes everything, both L/S books, in one enormous block.> Jane Street?? Who buys a whole levered spread book in one go? Isn't that is literally Jane Street's business?> As an LP, Jane Street had the inside view of exactly his book. Which would make this even more ironic...> If it was JS, the arc completes: Leopold's rarest backer would be the buyer of his whole book lol.> What's left of Leopold? Whatever's left in the private book after selling Anthropic stake and the capital raise, if any.The copyright of this article belongs to the original author/organization.
