The dude is a conartist. He scammed all of those poor people and went dark. He will probably get killed bcs some men have a certain limit and if you are in an age where you have a high chance of dying then you wont give a shit anymore anyways. What baffles me is that this is similar to ICOs. Watch out bros this can happen anytime in crypto. What makes me angry is that people like such who produce 0 productivity in the society get away with this shit. He should be put to federal prison for the rest of his life and all of his assets seized. Such an irresponsible move but alas thats how conartists work.

I don't agree with you completely.
He is con artist or maybe a gambler, but no one forced investors to give him money. Most likely they were charmed by his charisma and promises.
Most investors most likely knew risk but ignored because of potential profits. Now they have results.
I personally blame investors as options are hard but not a rocketed science, they should have known how options work and about leveraged positions.
They are same type of people who invest in bitconnect. They knew about a risk but turned blind eye

I don't think he actually stole the money. he just traded a strategy with a huge negative skew. such a strategy makes very consistent gains that look very good on paper. however, as the strategy has a negative skew, he will get a very large loss every few years. the plan is to just get liquidated and close the hedge fund if that happens. he doesn't lose anything except his hedge fund as he doesn't have his own money in it. he even got his costumers into debt. that is, he milked his costumers all those years and made a fortune knowing that it will blow up sooner or later. while it's unethical, I guess it's more or less legal.

When you invest in a risky hedge fund like that there’s always a risk of you losing a lot of money. Tbh these boomers are retards if they put almost all of their net worths into this fund. The manager might just have been really unlucky, he didn’t necessarily do anything wrong. It’s the equivalent of putting most of your net worth into a small biotech company and crying when the stock drops because a clinical trial for one of their drugs fails.

Exactly, they wrote the options, the puts and the calls. I think they've written either of the two without hedging against it. Then suddenly price spike, people sell their options and request the money from them to settle for the options they wrote. Probably couldn't keep the margin and got liquidated. not sure which spike was first, the long or the shorts. Either way writing options without hedging is so fuckin dangerous.

In all fairness this guy had a really good track record over like 20 years, and the hedge was literally called "optionally rs.com". They should have known what they were getting into. Why you would go all in on a hedge fund with your retirement though is beyond me. They might have been sweet talked into it and had the risk downplayed, but you shouldn't go into something that specializes in selling calls if you have no fucking clue about options trading.

Ya this dude fucked up, but it's 100% the investors fault they lost. It's not like they were swindled by a ponzi, no more than a casino swindles people out of their money. They got greedy by 20-30% annual returns and got burned. They probably even signed an agreement saying they could have loans taken out in their name to cover possible losses

I don't even know why anyone would roll deep into selling calls even if they do know what they're doing, the risk:reward just isn't there.

I don't know all the ins and outs 100%, because they scare the shit out of me and I feel like the more I learn the higher chance I'll have of getting tempted by then, but the just of it is you buy a stock at let's say, $100, and if it goes down to $90 you can sell it someone at that market price and keep the $10. If it shoots up to $120 you are now on the hook for selling that share at whatever the fuck the current price is, hence how you can go into debt. You're basically gambling but you can lose a basically infinite amount if you arent dilligent and don't stop loss, or the market spikes while you're sleeping or something. I'm sure I missed lots and oversimplified it, but that's more or less what happened.

>> No.11841291

>>11841188

OK, but this may take a minute....

An option is the right to buy or sell a stock (or anything else) for a certain price. A call option is the right to buy a stock, a put option is the right to sell a stock.

If I BUY a call options for XYZ @$10, and the stock jumps up to 20, I can exercise that option and make an immediate $10/share profit on it (though in reality I would just sell the option at a profit).

On the other side of this trade is the person selling the option. They collect a fee in exchange for selling someone the right to buy shares at a certain price.

So let's say someone sold me a $10 option and it went up to $20. What would they do? Well, it depends.

If they were selling a "covered call", they would already have the shares set aside to give me if I chose to exercise the option. But some people don't have the shares, they sell a "naked call", which means selling the option without having the shares to back it up.

If you sell a naked call, and the price jumps from 10 to 20, you now have to go out into the market and spend $20 per share to buy, and then turn right around and sell to me for 10, at which point you immediately lose 10 per share.

Selling naked options is always a dumb idea because you have unlimited risk.

The law. Unlike crypto, stocks and options operate in a regulated market. Retail investors who sell options must either have the shares to back it up (and they get held while the option is still alive) or the cash to back it up in the case of selling a put.

Under the law, you can't trade naked options in a cash account for the very reason you mention. You can only trade from a margin account, which means it's possible to generate a debt, which you are still responsible for.

Bullshit.

The rights are on the side of the buyer, the obligation is on the side of the seller.

If you buy a call option, you have the right but not the obligation to buy. So if it is in the money, you have the right to buy, but if it's a loss, you don't have the requirement to buy.

But the seller is obligated. So if you sell a call option and it is exercised, you MUST sell the stock to the holder ant the agreed price.

But you're right about it being stupid to have a position like this without some sort of hedge. You always need to know your maximum potential gain and maximum potential loss before getting in. And any bet with an unlimited loss is a bad idea.

I would be more interested in how his client agreement was written. Normally, when people invest in a corporation, they are not on the hook for losses above their initial investment. You can lose everything, but not more.

I think with an LLC it's different, and you can be forced to put in more money, but that's only for the investing partners, not the client.

This guy must have had things set up in a way where his clients were on the hood for all of the debt, even though they had none of the decision making.

It's just an odd setup. If you invest in a mutual fund, for example, you can lose all of your money; but vanguard doesn't come knocking at your door demanding more money if one of their traders screws up and nukes the fund.

Basically what happened was that natural gas went up a large amount. Then this guy sold a ton of naked calls (which are contracts to buy something at a certain price without actually holding that asset) thinking that this was the top and that he would take advantage of people thinking it would go even higher. Natural gas then went on to shoot up even higher causing his account to have pay these people in an asset he didn't even own.

they were war criminals of the worst sort. they blasted and burned babies alive.

their only saving grace was that the other side was equally evil.

soldiers are murderers.

My first question for these guys if I was going to buy in would be what the fuck they planned on investing in and making sure it is something stable. I imagine boomers can't even comprehend the idea of gas being a volatile resource that is literally being phased out of use No hedge fund that put all it's money into gravel mines ever faced volatility.

Those are Japanese girls. They are superior choices but a bit more difficult to rope into your harem. Girls from Thailand are less expensive, but they are not as eager to learn how to maximize your pleasure in every possible way. Basically you need to provide them with instructions on how to please you, whereas Japanese girls are meticulous and scientific about deducing for themselves the best way to pleasure you.
