Fidelity and Vinik also faced lawsuits for price manipulation after he made comments to U.S. News & World Report praising Micron Technology Inc. while the fund was selling the semiconductor company's shares. Fidelity paid $10 million to settle the class- action lawsuit.

The bad press didn't hurt him in raising money for his new fund. Within five months of leaving Fidelity, he'd raised $800 million, making him one of the largest hedge funds at that time.

Elizabeth, thanks for providing that Link!

I for one, would like to know how much of those funds came from Fidelity employees?

Yes, Vinik was a BIG holder of SNDK on separate occasions, if my recollection serves me correctly.
