okay so i've created that map i was talking about that starts with salomon and kind of like expands
all over the place so bear with me here let's start from the beginning so we have salmon
brothers here and then let's look at the first row here we have warren buffett now remember
warren buffett was involved with cleaning up after salomon led the reform of salomon in the
1980s bond scandal um also five billion dollar bailout from warren buffett was given the goldman
sachs during this period of time they were afraid that if salman failed everything would fail is
almost the first example of too big to fail um so alan greenspan was the one that called upon
warren buffett to do the cleanup of salomon he became the chairman at that time and he was the
number one shareholder of berkshire at that time as well this was before his berkshire days but
very soon before alan greenspan happened to be the fed chair during the scandal uh during the 08
crisis as well he had that position we have robert ginsler who is gary ginsler's twin brother who
works for goldman sachs during this time period during this time period gary gensler was actually
the former secretary of the treasury so he would be right along greenspan and we also have
gary as the current sec chair the former cftc chair and his brother rob ginsler
was the former vice president of t rowe now we go to jerome powell who happened
to be the lead investigator during the salomon scandal in the 1980s who is
our current fed chair and who helped the 2011 debt crisis situation by raising the debt crisis
we have jamie dimon who at this time was the co-ceo of salmon brothers and uh along
with david solomon who was a bond trader at the time they both worked there during this
time as well you also have tom miglis who made a call with kenny griffin which ultimately was
the reasoning behind the development of citadel's technology involving derivatives if myron scholes
who created the black scholes model which is a derivatives based model used to price derivatives
that is very well known he actually received a prestigious award for it
and that leads to derivatives and then you have a symbiotic relationship here between uh citadel
tech developed uh derivatives technology and uh finance technology that was led by tom miglis
you know working with kenny griffin on that develop the citadel tech which uses derivatives
and we all know what that led to then here i had to go backwards of bloomberg to make this
graph make sense but basically bloomberg was an in-house finance designer for salomon at the time
after he was fired in the late uh 70s early 80s he developed the bloomberg terminal in his own
business and let's move the next tier here so the goldman bailout was given by warren buffett gary
gensler happened to work at goldman during that time and then now we're looking into the late 90s
and we get the big bang merger of 1988. so luis ranieri and myron scholes i'm sorry louis rainery
was also the father of mortgage-backed securities as well so the big bang merger of 1998 happened
during this time it was led by david solomon and jamie dimon the former ce co-ceo of salomon and
the current ceo of jp morgan and the former bond trader current ceo of david salmon you had jamie
dimon go to jpmorgan you had david salomon go to goldman sachs and then if we go down here from
citigroup and travelers group split into smith barney and citigroup and smith barney and ubsag
happen to be the underwriters for gamestop city group being the parent company now also during
this time 2003 right after gamestop's birth citigroup and morgan stanley to get rid of the
barney name they entered a joint venture to get away from the ipo scandals that came out right
after gamestop's release now if we keep going to the right here we reach michael bloomberg
who at the time of gamestop's ipo or slightly before it he was running for new york mayor
now interestingly enough the voting primaries were held on september 1st 2000 and i'm sorry
september 11 2001 we all know what happened that day they had to be rescheduled due to the attacks
now smith barney also purchased world trade center seven directly after or directly before the bond
scandal hearing of 1980s late 1980s early 90s and of course if we connect all the dots
ubs is now short gme smith barney's the book manager citigroup short gme morgan
stanley's short gme the derivatives are definitely short gme the big bang merger
of 1988 leading to jp morgan and goldman sachs uh change up of leadership are both short gme
we have jerome powell i'm sorry we have the current sec chair working with gme via sec probe
we have former t rowe vice president also the secretary's twin brother rob ginsler his former
company is long gme goldman short jp morgan short and then sure enough warren buffett
is ryan cohen's inspiration who happens to be the number one leading shareholder of gme through this
revolution and that and one picture is how you describe how this all started and really
i should slide this further to the right and then put a little branch over here saying
bank of america and salomon brothers betting on client credit for the first time in the late 70s
creating one of the first you know derivative transactions on a mass scale
that was used by many other followers they turned in all this [ __ ] look where it started
look where it's all ending up liquid started look where it's all ending up moe ass baby
