If you layer credit into the wormhole it seems like you don't even need "losses" in the sucker funds. In essence Medallion establishes that it is "low risk", it is then able to borrow money more cheaply than other parties. Through the wormhole it can then indirectly "reloan" that money to higher risk sucker funds at higher rates. The sucker fund can still win, but it pays Medallion back more in interest than Medallion pays to the original source of money. Medallion's capacity is constrained by the amount borrowed by the sucker funds and the margin between what it can borrow vs lend at.
- SirLJ 7y agoI think we already went to deep into the hole on this :-)
- thoughtstheseus 7y ago100% agree. A highly overcollateraled position (not drawn capital so it doesn't show up) can be used to magnify returns. If you're playing in marketable assets you can even have the lender hold the assets themselves while you trade.
