Listen "Best Of: Inside a hedge fund disaster"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we’re revisiting an episode from last November, about a Wall Street saga that lost shareholders more than $10bn. In 2007, when Dan Och took his hedge fund public, he was making a bet that his company would stand the test of time. More than 15 years, a bribery scandal, and a feud with his protégé later, the FT’s Ortenca Aliaj and Sujeet Indap explain how things did not work out as planned. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For further reading:Sculptor Capital: grey areas cause grey hairs in messy bidding warFight over Sculptor hedge fund sale entwined in Daniel Och’s tax affairsSale of Sculptor Capital on cusp of approval after hedge fund brawl- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On X, follow Ortenca Aliaj (@OrtencaAl), Sujeet Indap (@sindap) and Michela Tindera (@mtindera07), or follow Michela on LinkedIn for updates about the show and more.
