Other prediction

Apparently, he had also predicted the 2008 financial mess two years before it materialized in a meeting in Davos. This is according to Economist magazine of 21st January 2011

Wynn's Lawsuit

Steve Wynn filed a lawsuit against Chanos in a federal district court in California, alleging slander because Chanos supposedly said that Wynn had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The judge dismissed this lawsuit, on the grounds that Chanos' actual statements were matters of opinion (and thus protected by law), not allegations of fact. the judge somewhat rebuked Wynn for misrepresenting those statements.

This should be in here, IMHO. --Christofurio (talk) 15:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Previous jobs

This should be in prose, it reads like a resume. And why would a Talk page be nominated for deletion? How will anyone be able to discuss the page?--LedgerTom (talk) 17:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article title should be Jim Chanos?

Per WP:COMMONNAME I propose renaming the article title to Jim Chanos, as that is his most commonly used and recognizable first name. Any objections? Stonkaments (talk) 22:15, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Someone commented that the external links section was getting too long. Would it be better if the writings currently listed in the external links be made into a separate section instead?Stonkaments (talk) 05:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cryptocurrency section

James5Knight, this reversion of Nil Einne's edit did not have an edit summary to explain why you would reintroduce content that has already been contested by two different editors now. If you're wanting to re-introduce the content, you have the burden to improve it to an encyclopedic quality according to Wiki policies. Popoki35 (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
