Goldman, JPMorgan, Citi and BofA received subpoenas seeking trade timing, borrowing records and communications around the margin calls that forced the fund to dump most of its equity book to Citadel at a discount (CNBC). The fund, founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, ran more than $30 billion with reported leverage up to 400%. Nobody has been accused of wrongdoing.
