Leopold Aschenbrenner, on his experience at FTX Future Fund — and working with Sam Bankman-Fried.
There are maybe five people who could have physically pushed through wiring money to a rationalist charity from FTX when it was collapsing, and one of them is Leopold Aschenbrenner. Leopold married one of the others, and she's Chief of Staff at Anthropic.

If somebody came to one of my writing classes with a novel about a “24-year-old wunderkind” on Wall Street called Leopold Aschenbrenner who graduated from Columbia aged 19, looked and dressed exactly like this, and crashed the stock market, I’d advise them to tone it down a bit
Quote in this story: “The real question is how did anyone invest so much money, and then lend so much money, to a . . . kid with no personal experience and no infrastructure?” as.ft.com/r/5f7537a7-0...

“Aschenbrenner” translates into “ash burner,” btw.
In a blink, Leopold Aschenbrenner's wildly successful hedge fund was forced to sell billions of dollars of technology investments as nervous banks began to demand more and more collateral for his trades. Then came billionaire Ken Griffin.

This is how I learned that Leopold Aschenbrenner looks like a Disney villain
An 8 employee hedge fund that was up hundreds of percent and used aggressive leverage is asking investors for more cash to meet margin calls. The tropes in this particular bull market couldn’t get any lazier.

24-year-old ex-OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner built a $20B AI hedge fund called Situational Awareness.
He bet heavily on AI related stocks until this week’s selloff led to a margin call and he had to liquidate his public portfolio.
Actually sounds like a lack of situational awareness.

Leopold Aschenbrenner was dubbed the “Nostradamus of AI." His spectacular $35 billion loss "reveals how eager Silicon Valley is to invest its billions in the dubious hands of a kid who confidently proclaims what he doesn’t actually know," writes Theo Baker.
