I think its important, and I think there are MORE of these that are actively engaged in the stonk market -and the banks do not know what their risks are....

Here is how this scam worked-
Executive summary - he used multiple banks to play market and juice stonk, pumping millions into a single stonk to pump it.
Regulators are not regulating these shadow banks and private equity funds like Blackrock and Hwang
To get that funding, they borrow from banks and they run ETF's
"Blackrock is manging more in assets than the entire GDP of jPan"
If it ever failed it would take down the entire US economy.
Digested and simplified - there are 2 critical components of reserve currency:
1) most trade is done in that reserve currency 2) most money is stored in that reserve currency
Right now, its the dollar.
And the store is US treasuries.
Any country thats wanted a seat at the international trade table must store foreign exchange reserves in dollars. But they want some return for their investment so they buy US treasuries.
If you look at trading economics, look at FX reserves for any given country.
Because most trade is done in dollars its easier to just store dollars in US treasuries. You sell treasuries for dollars when you need them.tradingeconomics.com/country-list/f…
