“We have some communication difficulties with the counterparties over that summer.”

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

Factual Their own work or organisation

Burry said "we" had some communication difficulties with "the counterparties" over "that summer", and said he did not recall the specific dates.

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

The proposition is that Burry said, in a 2025 statement, that 'we' had some communication difficulties with 'the counterparties' over 'that summer', and that he did not recall the specific dates. True: a dated 2025 transcript, recording or published interview shows Burry making both statements: communication difficulties with counterparties over that summer, and not recalling the specific dates. Mostly true: the source shows the statement about communication difficulties, with small wording differences, and also the not-recalling-dates remark in substance. Mixed: only one of the two parts (the difficulties statement or the not-recalling-dates remark) is in the record. Mostly false: Burry made a related statement about counterparties, but it was materially different in substance or not from 2025. False: the record of the interview shows he did not say this, or he said something contrary.
