Bill Hwang's Trial Begins Over Archegos Fund Collapse: What To Expect
Portfolio Pulse from Michael Cohen
The trial of Bill Hwang, founder of Archegos Capital Management, has begun, focusing on charges of racketeering and stock manipulation that led to the fund's collapse in 2021, causing over $100 billion in shareholder losses. The prosecution alleges Hwang used derivatives to inflate stock prices and lied to banks. Archegos' failure, linked to its use of total return swaps and inability to meet margin calls, significantly impacted financial markets and creditors like Credit Suisse, now part of UBS Group AG.
