The statement that he owned 75% of the fund is deliberately misleading. That he was in control of an entity that acted as the GP of a partnership means "he was acting as GP". But, that doesn't sound as nefarious, and it doesn't sound so sensational, and that's why it's not being said that way.
The only way to know if something shady is going on is to read the partnership agreement of the actual fund. That's where the rubber meets the road.
