tscholent Says:
I could easily describe all of this by swapping terms and descriptions with what is happening in a high stake poker game...but thank you for enlightening a dummy such as myself anyway...

I wonder how hedge fund managers sleep, after they tell Al Capone they're suddenly locking-in his money.

I kind of lost a bit of understanding towards the end...so with regards to redeeming back the clients, how is a hedge fund any different from a ponzi scheme?

emmanuelnsanga Says:
around 2008 debt was very cheap because of the reserve bank low interest to offset the .com bubble burst, so all the banks were lending allot,leveraging up to 30:1.
xThemalemodelsx Says:
Not at all. Honestly, it's kind of unlikely that a bank would lend an HF any money whatsoever. My co-worker and I were talking about this the other day.
911Dagur Says:
Is it really realistic that a bank would be willing to lend 50 million dollars to a hedge fund that only has capital for 10 million dollars? Wouldn't his pitch have to be extremely good and he himself have to be a great pitcher to get this? Would a bank really loan 50 million dollars to a hedge fund that has not had any earnings yet and "Dennis" has not made any investments yet?
