Note:
(a)
(i) The novel is
Jay Newman, Undermoney. Scribner, 2022.
(ii)
(A) Elliott Investment Management [LP]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_Investment_Management
(section 1 Overview: name)
(B) LP stands for limited partnership
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_partnership
, whichis in contrast with general partnership
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_partnership
("The owners [partners] are jointly and severally liable for any legal actions and debts the company may face, unless otherwise provided by law or in the agreement.   It is a partnership in which partners share equally in both responsibility and liability")
that we are familiar with.

In the case of Elliott Investment Management LP, apparently founder (Paul Singer) and Jay Newman (previously: while he worked there) are general partners whereas investors are limited partners.

(b)
(i) The WSJ report does not say how the email hackings were done, how they helped Newman or Elliott.
(ii) I google, and this WSJ report is the only one in the Web that links Newman to illegality, here the hackings.

(c) "Elliott in 2012 convinced a Ghanaian court to detain the ARA Libertad, a tall-masted frigate used by the Argentine navy to train cadets, in the hopes of seizing it as an asset."
(i) ARA Libertad (Q-2)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_Libertad_(Q-2)
(table: commissioned 1963 + Status  Active; "The ninth Argentine Navy vessel to bear the name Libertad")
(ii) ARA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA
(may refer to "Armada de la República Argentina, the Argentine Navy (Argentine Navy ships use ARA as a name prefix, just as the US Navy uses USS)")
(iii) Spanish-English dictionary:
* libertad (noun feminine; from Latin noun feminine lībertās liberty): "liberty"
