🚨 BREAKING: THE SEC IS NOW DIGGING INTO A $30B AI FUND COLLAPSE.
The SEC has reportedly subpoenaed major Wall Street banks over their dealings with Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness fund, according to the NYT.
And the questions go straight to the heart of the blow-up:
When were the trades made?
How much leverage was involved?
What did the fund tell its lenders?
Situational Awareness reportedly grew to more than $30 BILLION in assets.
Then July happened.
A brutal AI-stock selloff wiped out roughly 67% of the portfolio’s value.
The fund was forced to unload most of its public holdings to Citadel.
Now regulators are reportedly examining the trading activity, financing arrangements and communications surrounding the leverage.
This is bigger than one fund.
If regulators uncover problems in how leverage was structured or disclosed, it could raise serious questions about risk management across the AI trade and the banks financing it.
The AI boom is no longer just about valuations.
It’s about leverage.
And when leverage starts breaking, the damage can spread FAST.
Wall Street may be entering the part of the cycle where we find out who was actually swimming naked.
