I understand basic options. They listed only long puts in 13F, the max they could lose is the premium they paid. So there must be some other securities that they didn't disclose (mostly short calls as @tchanglington mentioned) which resulted in the loss. I was asking if hedgefunds can disclose selectively? If so that can be exploited in so many ways.

Thank you. But those short calls are not in 13F, so they can selectively disclose?

How could they lose $7B?

Melvin Capital Recent 13F : https://sec.report/Document/0000905718-20-001111/

It shows they had about $757mm worth puts. Assuming all of that puts are worth zero, their max loss will be $757mm. GME loss would be $55mm.

Hedgefunds don't have to disclose everything? Just trying to understand how did they lose that much.
