I’m not 100% sure that’s true but possible. The reports are saying they couldn’t meet margin which is different than capital. But likely bankrupt.

Those guys are huge. Quiet firm but they have a huge amount of guys. They no doubt got killed on basis trades and maybe a second time on something vix. They don’t seem like a firm that just sells vix.

 

If I'm remebering correctly, wasn't their only real stratgey/mandate supposed to be Vol hedging? Like literaly the SP500 with some downside protection?

No idea. I remember looking up their 13f when I first heard about them a while back and only saw 100m in SPY. At the time I figured they were just ramping up and hadn't employed any stats yet.
