    Just halfway through this, and I have also seen and read lots of other materials, and my gut feeling is that the investors, especially the larger hedge funds, deserve what they got. They did not do due diligence. In fact. one admitted as much and said to their investors that they will do better next time. Is this real? Are these firms so out of control that they would act in this way? Disgusting realy.

    • @hewhohasnoidentity4377
      @hewhohasnoidentity4377 Год назад +3

      Money has been cheap for a long time. We went nearly 10 years with low interest and no recession. There was also an insane amount of money added to the economy with stimulus. This means that there was excess capital searching for growth opportunities. It reached a point where there was incentive to get money out there, anywhere, just get the money invested in anything that might have a chance. There is so much excess money in the market right now that this did not have an impact on the venture capital firms or the hedge funds. They can all assume a complete loss on their investment and honestly say that it will not have a material effect on financial performance.
      The problem is that retail investors that were using their own money that they were depending on were led to believe that this was a safe investment. The VCs and hedge funds are working with a pool of money from thousands or millions of people. The retail investor has a pool of money that is only their own. They put it all on the roulette wheel when they thought they put it in something close to US Savings Bonds.

    I really appreciated your joke about Icarus not stealing 8 billions dollars in funds.
    In the absolute most charitable light, SBF was colossally incompetent and played roulette with billions of dollars of other people's money. That is the kindest take on this matter. He undertook no real risk control (despite his company telling investors that was one of its main purposes), he used quickbooks to manage funds, he labelled accounts with jokey names and seemingly lost track of them and what money went into them - this is indefensible. You can't behave this way with hundreds of thousands of dollars, let alone billions of dollars. If it is just "incompetence" then it is clearly criminal incompetence.
    If I was in theatre, and I had to anaesthetise a patient, and I had two syringes - one with 50mmol of Potassium, just laying around and one with saline to prep a line - and I just pick up the one with potassium, without checking, without labelling the syringes, and I just flush the line with that and kill the patient by inducing a cardiac arrest - I'm going to go to jail for that! That's criminal incompetence. It doesn't matter if I intended to do that, it doesn't matter if I was tired or clumsy. I can't stand before the judge and say "Your Honour, I know I killed the patient, but hey, have you considered this - I'm a complete moron! Should I be punished for being a moron!?" That isn't going to fly. You are put in a position of trust and that comes with legal responsibilities. Those legal responsibilities aren't waived away because you say "I was too stupid to carry them out!".
    Even if that is the case and SBF was too stupid to carry out his responsibilities (highly unlikely given that he graduated with a degree in physics with a minor in mathematics), that defence cannot possibly be entertained by any court, because EVERYONE would then plead stupidity as a defence. The entire criminal justice system would fall apart if he was allowed to get away with it. You'd have everyone from engineers, to doctors, to veterinarians to CEOs claiming "I can't be held responsible! I was just.... too stupid to know how to properly manage things!"
