Forbes – Billionaire Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates sued two former employees for falsely advertising their new hedge fund firm by exaggerating and misrepresenting their role at Bridgewater, the world’s largest hedge fund firm that manages some $160 billion.
Bridgewater Associates sued Howard Wang and Wenquan “Robert” Wu in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday, saying they tried to publicize their newly-formed hedge fund, Convoy Investments, by lying about their former roles at Bridgewater. Bridgewater claims that Wang and Wu tried to pass themselves off as “former key figures responsible for core aspects of Bridgewater’s business,” but “they were nothing of the sort.” Bridgewater is asking a federal judge to order Wang and Wu stop misrepresenting their role at Bridgewater and pay the hedge fund firm damages.
