Michael Burry, known for calling the subprime mortgage crisis, just unveiled potential massive bets against the stock market.

Michael Burry, known for calling the subprime mortgage crisis, just unveiled potential massive bets against the stock market, according to a new regulatory filing released Monday. Burry's hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, owned put options against 2,000,000 shares of the SPDR S & P 500 ETF Trust , the popular ETF that tracks the S & P 500. These 20,000 put contracts, with unknown value, strike price, or expiry, were against shares with a value of $886.6 million at the end of June.

The S & P 500 is off the last two weeks as investors debate whether the U.S. can skirt a recession and whether the Federal Reserve is done raising rates.
