“And then as of today there’s nothing left.”

Michael Burry, interviewed by FCIC 2025 Scion Funds annual letters compilation (investorkurs.no)

Factual Their own work or organisation

As of the time of the interview, Scion held none of the listed positions.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

What would count as true or false

Judged as of the date of the 2025 interview. True: Scion Asset Management held none of the positions named in the interview at that time. Evidence would be a 13F filing, a deregistration or liquidation notice, or a dated report that Scion had exited all of those positions or wound down its portfolio by then. Mostly true: Scion had exited essentially all of the named positions, with only trivial leftovers or a short gap in timing that the claim did not depend on. Mixed: Scion had exited about half of the named positions. Mostly false: Scion had reduced the positions but still held a meaningful part of them. False: filings or reports from around the interview date show that Scion still held most or all of the named positions.

  4. E4 0001879202-25-000025.txt U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (EDGAR), Form 13F-HR filed for Scion Asset Management, LLC · 15 May 2025 Own record

    “<nameOfIssuer>NVIDIA CORPORATION</nameOfIssuer> <titleOfClass>COM</titleOfClass> <cusip>67066G104</cusip> <value>97542000</value>”

Reasoning

E1 reports that Scion ended its SEC registration effective November 10, 2025. E2 quotes Burry saying the funds would be liquidated and capital returned by year's end. E3 and E4 show Scion held positions such as Nvidia earlier in 2025. The evidence does not give the interview date or say which positions it named, and no dated filing or report shows that Scion held none of them at that time, so the claim cannot be settled.
