The financial world has been rocked by the Archegos scandal. A family office managing at least $10 billion and betting with $50 billion-$80 billion on leverage that was completely undone, literally overnight. 

In this episode, NLW breaks down:

  • Hwang’s conviction for insider trading
  • How Hwang leveraged his fund’s performance to get off prime broker blacklists
  • Why Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and others decided to margin call Archegos last week
  • What the whole affair says about markets today
