On The Media is produced by:
Among the short-sellers being vilified as contributors to the ongoing Wall Street implosion is David Einhorn – a successful hedge fund manager. But Hugo Lindgren, who wrote a portrait of Einhorn for New York Magazine, argues that he’s also something else: an unlikely truth teller whose story offers a case-study on the pitfalls of whistle-blowing on Wall Street.
Check out the company he runs, Greenlight Capital. How it could have lost money in his investments in the third quarter should be the follow up story.
