ChainCatcher report, citing Guolunhui and sources familiar with the matter, reveals that Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, has re-entered the investment scene just days after his hedge fund neared collapse, committing $400 million to a private company. This investment, completed on Tuesday, marks the first sign of how Aschenbrenner is recovering after his AI-themed hedge fund, Situational Awareness, nearly imploded last week due to margin calls from multiple Wall Street lenders. This latest funding follows a $100 million investment made last month by Situational Awareness into the same company. It remains unclear which of Situational Awareness’s private equity holdings received this additional capital.
