Meanwhile on April 17, 2000, Business Week called the collapse of Robertson's Tiger fund "the biggest hedge fund collapse in history."
So what happened? Robertson was the head of Tiger Management, which had $23 Billion under management at the time. When he shut down the firm, there was only $6 Billion left.
To this day, Robertson has never explained where the $17 Billion went.
Was it redeemed? Or did it simply vanish on a "bad bet" -- like a lot of other Wall Street losses?
As for his financial losses, the Times of London reported that Robertson confessed -- "We are in a market I don't understand." It should be remembered that Julian Robertson is allegedly a "professional," whose "business" was to provide financial management of Other People's Money (OPM).
