David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital had $1.7 billion in clients withdrawals last year as the hedge fund posted its biggest annual loss in its history.
It was a remarkable plummet for Einhorn, who started this year with $2.5 billion, down from more than $6 billion a year ago, according to a person familiar with the firm. The fund’s 34 percent loss from a variety of bad bets accounts for the rest of the asset drop.
