The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an investigation into Hindenburg's claims.\nPalihapitiya, one of the most prolific SPAC sponsors, is now sitting on a paper profit of more than 4,000% after Clover shares close to doubled on Tuesday, giving the company a market value of $9 billion and boosting the value of his 21.3% stake in the company, according to Reuters calculations.\nA Palihapitiya spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.\nA third of Palihapitiya's stake in Clover is pledged as collateral to Credit Suisse for a loan, a regulatory filing shows. A six-month lock-up that would prevent him from cashing out on his stake expired earlier this month.\nPalihapitiya's windfall is not just down to the Reddit rally. SPAC managers are awarded warrants and founder shares that result in them owning a much bigger chunk of the combined company that their investment would otherwise entitle them to.\nPalihapitiya took Clover Health public through a $3.7 billion merger that closed in January. He has launched several so-called blank check firms that have merged with a wide range of companies, including fintech startup Social Finance Technologies (SoFi), space tourism firm Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc and home-selling platform Opendoor Technologies Inc.\nEarlier in June, Palihapitiya launched four new, warrant-less SPACs that are looking to raise a total of $800 million through IPOs, with a focus on buying biotech firms.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":180262166,"gmtCreate":1623206826355,"gmtModify":1704198359397,"author":{"id":"3578976238295519","authorId":"3578976238295519","name":"Chifield","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35652f65436cad86ed1f7c0d94afae69","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3578976238295519","authorIdStr":"3578976238295519"},"htmlText":"I'm sorry for doubting you and keep laughing at Clov.
