AFAIK Microsoft didn't put any kind of liquid money into OpenAI, it's something like "you can use up to nB USD of our resources for free", not sure how that should go into accounting. It could even be a liability without much juggling.
- zerosizedweasle 1y agoYeah, Enron didn't really put any money into its related parties, it just used to them to move things around. I don't think it is Enron, but related parties shenanigans give me the chills.
- JCM9 1y agoAccounting mostly focuses on the value of things, not “liquid money.”

- JCM9 1y agoYes. You don’t need to be moving $ to have a profit or loss. You could take your salary in sacks of potatoes. You still owe the government taxes on the fair market value of your pile of potatoes. A while back there was a big fuss because executives were caught not paying tax on the fair market value of extra perks they were getting like use of the corporate jet on the weekends for trips to the beach house. Anything that’s not purely a business expense is considered compensation and is taxable.
