Had never heard of James Fishback… his wikipedia is wild. I can’t even pick out a snippet to post because every section is insane. Guy is a mess:

This guy is the ultimate FAFO.

In October 2023, Fishback sued Greenlight Capital over a dispute regarding his job title. In his lawsuit, he claimed to have held a senior macro role, specifically as "head of macro". Greenlight Capital denied these claims, stating that the position of "head of macro" never existed.

In June 2024, Greenlight Capital countersued Fishback, alleging misrepresentation of his role, breach of his employment agreement, and defamation. In September 2025, Fishback admitted to sharing confidential Greenlight positions and strategies via his personal email and operating an undisclosed trading account, violating his employment agreement. As part of the settlement, he agreed to delete or return all Greenlight materials in his possession and pay the firm's legal expenses. Fishback claimed to be unable to pay back Greenlight's legal expenses, and, as a result, had his Tesla Model Y repossessed in September 2025.

In January 2026, a federal magistrate judge ordered Fishback to surrender Azoria stock and a group of luxury items he purchased through an undisclosed bank account to US Marshals for sale to Greenlight.


I'd love to know what he was thinking when he sued a hedge fund. What was his complaint? What was he seeking? A letter of reference? Meanwhile, "head of macro" is obviously made-up shorthand and not actually a job title, so what the fuck was he thinking?

He explained it to Newsweek with this post-hoc bullshit.

“I filed a civil rights complaint against Greenlight when I left in 2023 for religious discrimination. I’m a Christian, they’re not. There are some real issues there, so I filed a civil rights complaint against them,”
