@siyul @stoked_on_waves The connections - logical to you or not - are 1) that BUR inflated past profits and its balance sheet by aggressively marking Petersen, 2) management exited significant shares before the concentration of profits and asset values in one case was known, 3) when aggressively predicted profits fail to materialize, the profit machine works in reverse - the company has effectively lost outsize money and has a significant balance sheet impairment, causing significant losses to investors holding the stock on the day that becomes apparent. $SOFI books aggressive future profits on dates of loan origination because management gets paid to do so. The same was true of $BUR w cases. FV accounting is a great theory, but often a real world license to screw shareholders.
