Mets TV House apologized Sunday after “harassing the light,” Mets owner Steve Cohen said his family was upset over the stock market war.
SNY posted an image on Twitter that amused Cohen by deactivating his Twitter account, which the 64-year-old hedge fund mogul did after receiving “personal threats”.
“We apologize for the miscarriage of justice,” said SNY, which is still owned by the Wilpon family because it was not part of Cohen’s $ 2.4 billion acquisition in September.
Last week, small investors mobilized online to cause massive losses on hedge funds that sell shorts
Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management was embroiled in market turmoil when it invested $ 750 million in Melvin Capital, which was hit hard by the shortening.
Online investors later claimed, without evidence, that Cohen and other investment groups pushed the Robinhood investment platform to adopt restrictions on GameStop transactions to help offset losses.
“I really enjoyed back and forth with Mets fans on Twitter, who unfortunately were overwhelmed this week by the unrelated misinformation with the Mets that led to the personal threat to our family,” Cohen said in a statement after deactivated his account on Friday night.
“So I’m going to take a break for now. We have other ways to listen to your suggestions and keep our commitment to do so. I like our team, this community and our fans, who are the best in baseball. The bottom line is that this week’s events do not affect our resources in any way and we are trying to put a championship team on the field. ”
