The best thing to happen to Dan Och, financially speaking, may have been leaving the hedge-fund firm he founded more than two decades ago.

When he exited in 2019, his Och-Ziff Capital Management had already seen more than $20 billion of outflows after becoming embroiled in a foreign bribery scandal. Its shares were down about 90% from its IPO price and regulators had made it difficult for the firm to raise money.
