AI summary
The Terra funds generated returns of 6 ten-thousand plus 6 thousand% over 3 years before collapsing with the liquidation of 131 funds worth 200 hundred-million dollars. The speaker reports that they ran a self-reinforcing loop, inflating NAV by allocating 99% to purchases of their own company's shares. Pumping small IPOs and inflows driven by 50% inflation kept the machine running. The speaker says MMF reverse-repo borrowing and an Archegos-style liquidity spiral accelerated the collapse. They identify a tunneling structure in which inflated stocks become exit routes for insiders. In their view, holding-limit regulations stopped the buying and triggered a run, while fines failed to deter the behavior. They cite the market for lemons and the precedents of Cornfeld and Hwang, and report expectations that liquidation will yield only small change. All directional outlooks are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive predictions of short-term prices.
