Daniel Ivandjiiski ( Bulgarian: ?????? ???????????, born 8 November 1978) is a Bulgarian-born, U.S.-based former investment banker and capital-markets trader, and currently financial blogger, who founded the website Zero Hedge in January 2009, and remains its publisher and main editor.
Ivandjiiski decided that he, and all other Zero Hedge contributors, would blog under the collective pseudonym "Tyler Durden" (a character from the book Fight Club). In March 2011, Time magazine ranked Zero Hedge as 9th in its 25 Best Financial Blogs. [8]
The New Republic and New York magazine have identified Daniel Ivandjiiski as the founder of Zero Hedge. [1] [7] The New York article made assertions regarding Ivandjiiski's background, particularly his Bulgarian citizenship, his FINRA charge and lifetime ban from securities trading, and his father, Krassimir Ivandjiiski's, own controversial news and political website, Strogo Sekretno ( Bulgarian: ?????? ????????; English "Top Secret"), [a] and Krassimir's position in the pre-1990 Bulgarian-Soviet administration". [7]
On 29 April 2016, an ex-employee of Zero Hedge, Colin Lokey, who had joined a year earlier in 2015 from Seeking Alpha, gave an interview to Bloomberg, revealing Ivandjiiski, and San Francisco-based credit trader Tim Backshall, [c] as the main force behind Zero Hedge. [9] [10] The article confirmed various details about Daniel Ivandjiiski, including that he lives in a mansion in Mahwah, New Jersey, Lokey saying: "These two guys, who live a lifestyle you only dream of, are pretending to speak for you." [11]
Krassimir Ivanov Ivandjiiski ( Bulgarian: ???????? ?????? ???????????, born 15 June 1947) is a former Soviet-era Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Trade official who, since 1994, has been the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Bulgarian political news website, Strogo Sekretno ( Bulgarian: ?????? ????????; English "Top Secret"). Krassimir is also the father of Daniel Ivandjiiski, founder of the U.S.-based financial right-wing website, Zero Hedge. [1] [2]
Ivandjiiski was born on 15 June 1947 in Vrabevo, Bulgaria. [3] He graduated from the English college in Sofia in 1966 and, in 1971, graduated from the Warsaw University of Planning and Economics with an M.Sc. in Foreign Trade. [3] [2] From 1973, Ivandjiiski worked at the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1974, he became a member of the International Organization of Journalists (an organisation labelled as a front for Soviet propaganda). [2] In 1975, he was an international correspondent for the Rabotnichesko Delo newspaper. [3] From 1978 to 1982, he was head of the Bulgarian Offices for Central Europe: Prague, Warsaw, and Vienna; and from 1985 to 1990, was head of the Bulgarian Offices for Africa: Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.
