Hedge-fund manager David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital Inc. asked a court to order the website Seeking Alpha to identify a contributor who allegedly disclosed the fund’s stake in Micron Technology Inc. before it was made public.
Greenlight said in a Nov. 25 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it purchased 23 million shares of Boise, Idaho-based Micron, a maker of memory chips, in the third quarter. Eleven days earlier, Greenlight had disclosed the stake to the SEC and asked that the agency not publicly identify Micron as the investment in question.
