Chanos is founder and president of Manhattan-based Kynikos Associates.
A supporter of former governor Eliot Spitzer, Chanos told the New York
Post that he knew call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupre, but did not
introduce her to Spitzer.

The price was listed by Brown Harris Stevens at $24.85 million in the
fall of 2007, according to StreetEasy.
