Key Square and Ghisallo / Ex-Soros

Any insights on Key Square (run by Scott Bessent) and Ghisallo Capital (run by Michael Germino)? Both are ex Soros (CIO and Head of Trading respectively)

1) Do you know whether the two funds have any direct relationship whatsoever? Germino was at Key Square before founding Ghisallo.

2) Any info on their strategy and size? Key Square is macro whereas Ghisallo does crossover (global L/S + pre-ipo).

3) Have they large teams? How are they structured? How is culture there?
