It turns out that Michael Jordan has a very direct connection to the massive financial losses incurred to hedge fund Melvin Capital as a result of the "Reddit Rebellion."   When Reddit investors took to their Robinhood apps to engage in a "short squeeze" against fund manager Melvin Capital, this caused significant financial damage to Gabe Plotkin, owner of Melvin Capital, who also happens to have just become a major business partner of Jordan's, buying a massive stake in the Charlotte Hornets.   While Michael Jordan's net worth remains high, the financially damage to a major business partner undermines his ability to sell more of the Hornets to Plotkin and also adds to the $300 million in losses he incurred after a pandemic-crippled NBA season.
