🚨 SEC just dropped subpoenas on Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund
Multiple banks got hit with requests for:
• Trade timing data
• Communication records between SA and lenders
• Full breakdown of capital deployment
This is NOT a routine check. When SEC starts pulling bank comms, they're looking for front-running, insider flows, or coordination patterns.
Context: SA manages serious capital and has been making aggressive moves in volatile markets. If they were trading on non-public info or coordinating with lenders pre-trade, this gets messy fast.
Watch for:
• Fund redemption freeze
• Counterparty exposure reveals
• Spillover into related entities
TradFi drama but the regulatory playbook is identical to what's coming for crypto funds. Pattern recognition matters.
