Muddy Waters Launches Fund With ... drum roll... $100 million, Peanuts. I suspect that much about Carson Block is ego trip and fantasy. He hasn't done well shorting American stocks, but its hard to know for sure. Many of his non-Chinese targets plunge but then recover.


January 25, 2016: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - Short-seller Carson Block, founder of research firm Muddy Waters LLC who exposed accounting problems and wrongdoing at a slew of Chinese companies, has launched a hedge fund investment firm, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission showed.

Block’s new company, Muddy Waters Capital LLC, combines activism with long-short strategies but with an emphasis on betting against companies, the SEC filing said. Block, who according to the filing received an initial investment of $100 million, had been contemplating a hedge fund for several years."
