Got it. Thanks.
Market makers content to live with that exposure are speculators, not securities dealers. Specifically, they are speculators with Other People’s Money. They would be better off running a hedge fund in which all concerned are aware of the risks they’ve accepted. TBH, if the market maker is so adroit that he can survive doing business this way, he’s probably smart enough to figure out that a hedge fund manager, getting 20% of the profits instead of scalping pennies from the bid/ask, is what he ought to be.

Bad timing. That’s a lot of money to some people. Their partners may want to ask some questions too.

Call it a summer haircut.
It’s worth looking into. But by Monday morning they were in the red $180,000,000 and as of today’s close still down about $70,000,000 on the trade.
They may be fronts. It doesn’t appear from their website they run a hedge fund. They look like asset managers and advisers for wealthy clients. But one never knows, perhaps they do manage assets with some degree of freedom on behalf of their clients, in a partnership.
Phew!!!!
So titillating.
Many years ago I had a finance professor explaining how Millken's blend of poorly rated high yield bonds and highly leveraged equity game him an advantage over other bidders in the takeover game. (Hint: Taxes were a factor, because interest is completely deductible.)
He referred to takeovers as the "sex and violence" of finance.
