Clarium Capital Management, a $2bn (€1.6bn) global macro hedge fund run by PayPal founder Peter Thiel, plans to file a countersuit against disgruntled investor Amisil Holdings, which is suing the hedge fund for fraud.
Amisil is seeking to recover $18m, the value of its investment in the hedge fund. The suit said in 1998 Amisil invested $300,000 in Clarium, a global macro hedge fund that was formerly called Thiel Capital Management. The investment gave Amisil a 1% stake in the fund.
