Summary
The post discusses the liquidation of a fund manager (“Leopold”) who used 4x leverage on AI stocks, allegedly triggered by Citadel’s market manipulation and an unexpected hawkish FOMC vote.
The author believes Citadel deliberately crashed AI stocks to force Leopold’s liquidation, then bought his fund for $10B. The author holds a long position in “BE” (ticker unclear, possibly a typo) and calls for Leopold to return.
Quality assessment: Pure speculation and emotional narrative with no data or valuation analysis. Low quality, noise.

I just read the news that he sold all his stocks. I can’t believe he was on leverage first of all up to 4x from what I read . My main question is do you guys think citadel did this on purpose crashing AI stocks so he would be liquidated. And also they said fed would hike on Wednesday which was very odd. They were the only who said that.
And today citadel brought his fund for 10 billion
I hope he opens a new fund. I don’t care what anyone says but dude had some killer callouts. I entered BE very early all thanks to him still holding and not selling.
COME BACK LEOPOLD
