Daniel Michalow, the veteran fund manager fired by D.E. Shaw & Co. in 2018, won $52.1 million Wednesday from the firm, likely one of the largest recent awards of its kind.
That’s less than the $600 million he was seeking for defamation in arbitration run by Wall Street’s self-regulator, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, according to a document on its website. Besides D.E. Shaw, the case was against four top executives, who declined to comment through a company spokesperson.
