Me too

Ah well, you win some, you lose some. Lesson learned: steer clear of "star" fund manager cretins (I usually do).

Burford Capital

“A letter by Muddy Waters released on Wednesday confirmed its short position and claimed that Burford was a “poor business masquerading as a great one”.

The US hedge fund criticised the way Burford measured returns on its investments, saying they were “heavily manipulated and greatly misled investors” and that much of its profit since 2012 had come from just four legal cases.

The attack caused Burford shares to slump from £13.95 on Tuesday afternoon to just 428p per share by midday on Wednesday. They later recovered to close at 605p.”
