    The five banks basically reenacted the prisoner's dilemma. Except, they were allowed to communicate and they still failed.
  • @kenichi9103
    "no individual has lost so much money that quickly" SBF: "hold my beer"
  • @John-doe955
    Anyone who claims to believe heavily in religious values while engaging in activities that have nothing to do with religion tends just be using religion as a shield from criticism and to gain trust by implying they will act morally.
  • @PanduPoluan
    Always love your story of such disasters. You make things really clear for me, a non-economist. Keep up great work!
  • Always gotta love when the richest people on the planet say, "Life isn't about money." Yea, ok dude.
  • @dangremaus1164
    LTCM did the same thing back in 1998–“Trust us, we’re the smartest guys in the business.” Massive amounts of leverage.
  • @souvikrc4499
    And now Archegos is now one of the big factors that led to Credit Suisse's downfall.
  • @bjkarana
    Mr. Huang: "I'm wildly wealthy, but life isn't about money ." God: "Hold my beer!"
  • @Big_Tex
    He forgot the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt be careful with the leverage.
  • @biglil771
    This man is single-handedly stopping inflation
  • This reminds of South Park, the banking episode; ".....aaaaaand, its gone!"
  • @andwithtthat
    The way you effortlessly switch between different pronunciations of Hwang to calling this man Bill like he’s your friend has me DEAD! 🤣 Keep up the good work!!!
  • @iceman4660
    Beware anybody who uses their faith as an asset in promoting their business.
  • @Calebgoblin
    "it will probably be fine potentially" -Huang, probably
  • @ronaldl9085
    "He started with 8.8 million dollars from family and friends!" That's how the rich get richer.
  • @MrJosp87
    "Archegos" ("Αρχηγός") means "Leader" or "Chief" in Greek
  • @txkos
    I guess that was God’s way of telling Bill he didn’t need his help after all.
  • @DarkestMirrored
    God, I love how our entire economic system is based on gambling on imaginary money that can vanish over the course of days, hours, or even minutes.
  • @kylekennedy420
    I can’t understand how Bill is still optimistic about his company, no bank will ever loan him funds ever again.
  • Risk management... A lesson so simple and yet so hard to learn because practicing it may go against the very fabrics of our beings.
