By Christian Lamarco Daisy Korpics/WSJ, Bloomberg When Christian Lamarco decided to start his own short-selling firm, he named it in honor of the spies who gathered intelligence for George Washington during the Revolutionary War.  He had watched a television show about the Culper ring, which secretly tracked the movements of British forces almost 250 years ago, and he couldn’t help but see the similarities between his shorting and their spycraft.  Now he’s caught up in his own story involving national security, the president of the United States and spectacular allegations of modern espionage.  Six months ago, Culper Research published a report outlining its case against Nvidia NVDA 2.87% , which had become the most valuable company in the world by making the chips that power the global...
