Famed short seller Andrew Left faces the possibility of decades behind bars after being found guilty of using disingenuous social media posts to manipulate stocks, in a landmark case that threatens to chill a broader trading strategy loathed by corporate executives.

Left, who gained a large online following with his blunt commentary about major US companies as well as smaller stocks popular with retail traders, was convicted Monday following a three-week trial in Los Angeles. Even before his conviction, his 2024 indictment spooked the industry and led some short sellers to beef up legal disclaimers.

Now, the 55-year-old faces more than two decades behind bars at an Aug. 31 sentencing hearing, though criminal defendants frequently get less time. Left will remain free until then.

The food industry is grappling with shortages and skyrocketing prices of whey protein, forcing some manufacturers to halt production or reformulate their products with alternative ingredients. Whey protein has become a star ingredient due to its complete protein profile and ease of use, but the supply chain is struggling to keep up with demand, with some suppliers already sold out for the remainder of the year. Companies are considering alternatives to whey protein, including milk protein concentrate and plant-based options like soy and pea, as price increases and tight supply continue to affect the industry.

For more on the show, Emily Graffeo and Tim Stenovec, spoke with Kristina Peterson is Bloomberg News Reporter covering the food industry.

Anthropic PBC has confidentially submitted draft paperwork for a public listing, potentially leapfrogging longtime rival OpenAI in the race toward a Wall Street debut as soon as this fall.
“The number of shares to be offered and the price have not yet been set,” the company said in a blog post Monday. Anthropic, once viewed as an underdog to OpenAI, has vaulted ahead of the ChatGPT maker in recent months on multiple fronts. The Claude developer recently raised $65 billion in a funding round at a $965 billion valuation, including the investment, eclipsing OpenAI’s value for the first time. Anthropic’s advances in coding and cybersecurity capabilities have rattled markets and also enticed new business customers.
With the filing on Monday, Anthropic is poised to potentially beat OpenAI to the public market, setting itself up to attract more attention and capital from a greater pool of investors. OpenAI itself was said to be preparing its own confidential filing for an initial public offering in the coming weeks and was targeting a public debut sometime in the fall, Bloomberg reported in May.
