They were sitting on large illiquid unrealized gains until the IPO. I can't imagine that's strange behavior in companies going public. Some funds will sell into the IPO as a rule in order to redeploy capital to other early stage i

They made ~$10-30m from the Japan arb from what I've read, mostly blew it, but it still got Alameda off the ground. The Korean arb was the initial goal but proved too difficult. Both of these arbs were glaringly obvious and talked abou
