As news broke Monday that investment firm Infinity Q Capital Management was gating and liquidating a fund portfolio, its chief investment officer James Velissaris seemed to disappear from the internet.
His LinkedIn profile is now defunct. The Infinity Q website, which now only includes a statement about the situation, said Tuesday that it was undergoing maintenance.
But Velissaris couldn’t vanish from the internet altogether. News articles, his own research, and a defunct version of Infinity Q’s website paint a picture of what led up to his time at the firm.
Late last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission told Infinity Q’s non-executive chairman that it had found evidence that Velissaris had been altering the third-party valuation models for its $1.8 billion Diversified Alpha Fund. The firm said it had independently confirmed this but had not assessed the impact of those changes.
