He’s a massive prick. Check out short seller Mark Cohodes’ recent interview on Blockworks Macro. One of the biggest egos I have ever seen in finance. And that’s such a high bar.

Cohodes called the collapse of Silvergate and FTX almost a year before they went bust. I follow him on twitter and you’re 100% right on his ego and bullshit, but his track record is pretty solid as far as shorts go.

Oh he’s 100% right about being one of the all-time great short sellers. I just don’t think he needs to tell us that he’s the “greatest of all time” (literally his words) 50x in the span of an interview.

SL Green’s c-suite is stuffed with a high percentage of exceptionally arrogant pricks. They deserve to be Chanos enemies.

It’s the NY real estate market, I’d say it’s probably a requisite to be a prick. The nice guys are analysts working 120 hours a week commuting from Brooklyn.
