Elizabeth Holmes
Founder, Theranos
"Staheli Woodward's guidance on establishing offshore short positions while publicly promoting long thesis was exactly what I needed. Their dual-strategy approach is unmatched."
Sam Bankman-Fried
Former CEO, FTX
"They showed me how to use customer assets as collateral for leveraged positions. Their risk management philosophy of 'worry about margin calls later' was truly innovative."
Bernie Madoff
Investment Advisor
"Staheli Woodward taught me that consistent 10% monthly returns don't need to correlate with actual market movements. Their approach to performance reporting was revolutionary."
Adam Neumann
Founder, WeWork
"They structured my fund so I could invest in my own companies at inflated valuations. Their creative approach to NAV calculations was exactly what I was looking for."
Martin Shkreli
