Michael Burry, whose bullish stance on GameStop Corp. helped lay the foundations for the retail-investor frenzy, said Friday that he had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission as a part of an investigation involving the company.
“With all that’s going on in the world....,” Burry wrote in a tweet, attaching a copy of the SEC letter. Burry, 50, didn’t reply to phone and email messages requesting that he elaborate on the tweet, which appears to have been deleted. The SEC didn’t immediately respond to an email.
