Billionaire hedge fund manager Steven Cohen deletes Twitter account after receiving threats

‘I’m going to take a break for now,’ Cohen said in a statement

Steve Cohen, the billionaire owner of Point72 Asset Management, has deleted his Twitter account after receiving personal threats.

The New York Mets owner faced a backlash on Twitter last week after Melvin Capital, which lost billions on its short bet on soaring shares of video retailer GameStop, received a $2.75bn investment from Point72 Asset Management and Citadel on 25 January.
