-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Ok Apes... I think we've done enough prep work to start talking about the bigger picture stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
So far we've covered:
|
||||
|
||||
- The Milken Institute
|
||||
|
||||
- The Connections between all the big boys
|
||||
|
||||
- The Big GME Short Positions
|
||||
|
||||
- Bill Gates
|
||||
|
||||
- Charter Schools
|
||||
|
||||
- Private Foundations
|
||||
|
||||
- A look behind the scenes with Kenny
|
||||
|
||||
- DAFs
|
||||
|
||||
By no means is this list exhaustive... but it's definitely enough to start thinking about some things...
|
||||
|
||||
So let's start with WHY...
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Why do these guys all have charities?
|
||||
|
||||
Why do the charities all have DAFs?
|
||||
|
||||
Why does the divide between rich and poor get greater and greater?
|
||||
|
||||
Why does the world around you always seem just a little bit off?
|
||||
|
||||
(Are we REALLY in the Matrix?)
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This episode... I'm going to talk about a Hypothetical...
|
||||
|
||||
Let's pretend for a minute that I BADASSTRADER am a 37 year old genius trader that wants to run the worlds BIGGEST and BEST hedge fund?
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/uiomwgpmarc71.png?width=194&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa575a626296fd3fff122c7aa77612fda3b0d5be)
|
||||
|
||||
I've been trading since my college days at Harvard and have spent my time building all the right connections.
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/vkf3dfy8brc71.png?width=202&format=png&auto=webp&s=c00cd5e9cacf710272d361bed4dca06a0938c262)
|
||||
|
||||
By 2006, I have a personal net worth of $1.7 Billion... by 2007, I've nearly doubled that PERSONAL net worth to $3 Billion and my Company Gets Rated the Best Hedge Fund by EuroMoney in 2007 with AUM of $16 Billion...
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/1pnvszjvbrc71.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=48d1668b98236c1095c4938167a198fae85764d6)
|
||||
|
||||
So I'm starting to hit my goals... voted the BEST Hedge Fund... but not yet the BIGGEST... and of course then along comes 2008.
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/mox0x789crc71.png?width=524&format=png&auto=webp&s=b11c9d32763c87560beb65aa73cec45cdf22bdc3)
|
||||
|
||||
This REALLY scares the SHIT out of me...
|
||||
|
||||
I have to fight and fight and fight just to survive 1 more day, and though I barely scrape through, it has never hit home how quickly and easily everything I've built comes crashing down.
|
||||
|
||||
So I need to start getting smarter.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2008, I lost $8 billion of my clients money...
|
||||
|
||||
I jumped on a conference call with my Clients, reassured them of my company's stability with an $8 billion line of credit from banks... and then I froze all their accounts from withdrawals.
|
||||
|
||||
I deleveraged most of my higher-risk strategies and focused instead on my multistrategy funds. By Jan, I was back to making profits (Well before the bottom of the crash)
|
||||
|
||||
By November... I'm back up by 59%, I have $13 Billion AUM and I'm smart enough to know there is a void in the market by the collapse of Lehman Brothers...
|
||||
|
||||
I send my right-hand man Rohit D'Souza to New York and setup Citadel Securities to take advantage of this void.
|
||||
|
||||
Now I am trading High-Yield Dept for Institutional Clients, I am underwriting Bonds and I am offering Loan Deals in the 100s of millions.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally... It takes New Securities Firms 3 years just to reach breakeven...
|
||||
|
||||
I do it in 12 months by launching Citadel Execution Services, which becomes the largest equity options market maker in the US in a matter of weeks and now my fund has $25 Billion AUM.

|
||||
|
||||
I now feel unstoppable... I am smarter than everyone else and I have done what nobody thought possible
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/1gd9qzkqfrc71.png?width=1333&format=png&auto=webp&s=e2e7a7a148d72bb6898cc29f2ee07488a8be2988)
|
||||
|
||||
So what do I do now? I need to lock this in and protect my downside right?
|
||||
|
||||
I had already setup my DAF but now that I am profitable again...
|
||||
|
||||
I start pumping 100s of millions of my Net worth into it... and I make it look legit by every now and then throwing a few million at a charitable cause... but it of course has to have added benefits too and further my agenda (these amounts are not even close to the tax write off I get, not mind the appreciation of the assets I have in there)
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/xxrgxxzpgrc71.png?width=717&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a6aa957b273887f851674dc0b9bf9b07934a81a)
|
||||
|
||||
I'm good friends with Bill Gates since we setup our first Charter School in 2006 who advises me to setup a Private Foundation just like his
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/d3sfbovygrc71.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b199ac3c75d8787fd803ead611062a2d76786fa)

|
||||
|
||||
BUT REALISTICALLY... I know that most of my money will be going through my DAF... and even after I got divorced and shut down my Private Foundation... I still made 10s of millions in donations from an organization that has no public-facing information, no tax returns, an unknown sum of AUM and I'm not accountable to anyone for it!!
|
||||
|
||||
But maybe for public perception I better keep open a Private Foundation under Citadels name, that doesn't really do anything...
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/xk1dr482irc71.png?width=754&format=png&auto=webp&s=cadf39a6900cb2abac22fd4a3b1106530559206a)
|
||||
|
||||
So I am making BILLIONS of dollars in personal wealth now...
|
||||
|
||||
I control the vast Majority of Trade in the US through my Company...
|
||||
|
||||
I pay virtually no taxes...
|
||||
|
||||
I get to push my agenda on how I want society to look through my contributions which are essentially only the dividends from my personal assets under management...
|
||||
|
||||
And I crack the TOP 10 Biggest Hedge Funds...
|
||||
|
||||
Then this happens...
|
||||
|
||||
*(Speculation)*
|
||||
|
||||
I decide to make a trade through my personal DAF on a little company called
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://preview.redd.it/2c93ewjpnrc71.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=bde51739cab3d4149f9460cced1fdc38f4ebe45c)
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn't go quite the way I want it... so FUCK IT... I'm TOO SMART to take a loss...
|
||||
|
||||
I get the Company Involved and bring in the Might of Citadel... That'll sort them out...
|
||||
|
||||
I continue to short the shit out of them as I laugh maniacally watching the Share Price dwindle away...
|
||||
|
||||
The end is near and the rewards will be massive for both my company and my personal AUM through my DAF...
|
||||
|
||||
I get all my friends in on this and start to push it down further...
|
||||
|
||||
But little did I know...
|
||||
|
||||
SOMEWHERE... a sharp young man was setting up his room, plugging in his mic... connecting up his camera... and getting ready to stream for the first time...
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
(You beautiful kitty you)
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I was going to have to take a Puppy break after putting my mind in the place of Kenny for so long after writing this far... but this handsome kitty saved me.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The point of all this...
|
||||
|
||||
While all this was going on... and Kenny was building his Empire...
|
||||
|
||||
What were you doing?
|
||||
|
||||
Working 9-5 in a boring office job?
|
||||
|
||||
Working hard labor on a building site?
|
||||
|
||||
Worrying about the school run tomorrow and trying to remember if you packed the kids lunches?
|
||||
|
||||
Getting stoned and playing video games til 4AM, and getting up at 1pm the next day?
|
||||
|
||||
IT DOESN'T MATTER...
|
||||
|
||||
You probably weren't doing what Kenny was doing
|
||||
|
||||
He's prepared!
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is their game...
|
||||
|
||||
They have been mastering this craft of taking our money, for decades now... and we didn't even know we were part of a game...
|
||||
|
||||
The CHIPS ARE STACKED AGAINST US...
|
||||
|
||||
But we have finally opened our eyes...
|
||||
|
||||
We are finally fighting back... gaining wrinkles each and every day...
|
||||
|
||||
They have been at this for generations... we ONLY JUST GOT IN THE GAME...
|
||||
|
||||
Are you IMPATIENT???
|
||||
|
||||
Good... Buy and Hold!
|
||||
|
||||
Are you BROKE from buying???
|
||||
|
||||
Good!!! HOLD!!!!
|
||||
|
||||
Are you sick of learning more about the corruption and monstrosities that go on at their level?
|
||||
|
||||
GOOOD!!! Get Angry and BUY AND HOLD!
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
It's not all going to come crumbling down just because we want it too...
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the few that have shined their torches for us... we have a path to bring it down... Just by Buying and holding... and I'll say this too...
|
||||
|
||||
There was 1 other phrase of wisdom imparted on us...
|
||||
|
||||
Apes Together Strong...
|
||||
|
||||
I've been seen this a little less recently.
|
||||
|
||||
Not just mod drama shit... but even apes shitting on other apes because they disagree with something... shill or no shill...
|
||||
|
||||
*(How about instead of trying to accuse everyone of being a shill... we just be extra nice to anyone we think is a shill? That way... if they are a shill... they won't know what to do... and if it's just an Ape having a bad day... you've got their back by being nice to them!)*
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn't matter.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course there is a lot of frustration out there... and it's easy to let emotion get the better of us...
|
||||
|
||||
*(*Queue Dramatic Music)*
|
||||
|
||||
But if Apes Together Strong fails...
|
||||
|
||||
Then buying and holding fails...
|
||||
|
||||
And if buying and holding fails...
|
||||
|
||||
Then the Cycle of corruption will continue.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not meant as FUD...
|
||||
|
||||
There is nothing to be FUD about...
|
||||
|
||||
This is just a reminder to remember...
|
||||
|
||||
Remember WHY you are here...
|
||||
|
||||
Remember WHO you are here for...
|
||||
|
||||
Remember WHAT this means for you...
|
||||
|
||||
And remember HOW you got here...
|
||||
|
||||
KENNY is smart...
|
||||
|
||||
Whatever about Evil... he is smart...
|
||||
|
||||
And he is BANKING on us Crumbling...
|
||||
|
||||
It's up to EACH of you and me to prevent this from happening
|
||||
|
||||
(Yes even YOU ape!)
|
||||
|
||||
His weakness is his Ego... and we are slowly chipping away at it.
|
||||
|
||||
It's ours to lose now...
|
||||
|
||||
So...
|
||||
|
||||
How about TOGETHER we be the Apes we know we can be?
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I know this is a little off-topic from the usual BBC, but you Apes inspired me with this train of thought from all the positive feedback I got on yesterday's BBC... so I felt it was worth getting into...
|
||||
|
||||
IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS FORMAT... LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS SO I KNOW NOT TO DO IT AGAIN...
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
But before I end today's episode... this was requested...
|
||||
|
||||
Is that a Puppy and a Baby Monkey Playing with an Ape???
