CNBC's Yun Li interviews Chanos about how he spotted the fraud, and how the short-selling business has changed in the years since the Enron scandal.

    The comments here are hilarious. The man has been offering something countercyclical that his sophisticated clients consider worthwhile for decades. Criticize all you want, not very many people have this mans career and he's achieved it in a very competitive and transparent field.

      Tesla is the worst performing mega cap of 2024.
      The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

      When you put your money at risk on a stock going down - you are obviously predicting the stock will go down. He predicted it to go down - the short is proof of it.

      @singed8853 he also predicted tesla to crash and lost his reputation over it.
      Betting stocks will go down isn't much different than betting they go up once you do options trading.
      Hindenburg goes out and does their own investigation. If you don't have proof you're guessing like everyone else.

    Family offices are less regulated and therefore less transparent. Seems to me he's hiding something

    Jim Chanos lost everything on one bet, shorting Tesla. His ego ate him alive. Didn't he file for bankruptcy or something ?
