Heads are already rolling at Credit Suisse, their investment banking CEO and risk management manager both resigned

Head of Risk likely out soon. Trying to push the CEO to leave early now too.
I don’t even know why you’d want to stay after something like this. Would be a great “fuck it I’m retiring” point in your career.

They look to be the biggest loser of the Archegos melt up with about 4-5 billion in losses. It's so big they're cutting their dividend over this one event.
Probably because it is larger than the annual revenue for those departments (2b or so).

If its 5b, that's more than the total income of the company in 2019. They basically wiped their profits out and perhaps then some in one day. There's gonna be a lot of investors squinting their eyes on why so much money was leveraged to a known investment low-life. A shake up was pretty much mandatory.

I saw the 2b revenue number and assumed it was departments. I somehow envisioned CS being much larger than 2b a year total revenue.

It was 22.5b revenue and 17.5b operating expenses + a few other costs that put it about 4.5b profit margin for the whole company in 2019. Thought it was fair to look at that as a 'normal' year vs 2020.

Those numbers are staggering. How did they get caught bag holding this mess, while the other institutions seemed to navigate their way out early?

As they say, someone has to be the bag holder. Same thing happened in 2007, once Goldman and others realized what was happening, they stalled the collapse as long as they could as they started selling off their toxic assets to whoever they could

I guess when GS was front running them and selling early, CS was sound asleep. There is no honor among banks.

I have come to accept that for every Michael Burry in the finance world, there are 99 Jussie Smollets. Just like everywhere is else in life, there are a lot of slack jawed losers in the finance world.

Watch this scene and you'll see how Goldman escaped unscathed.

If you're not first, you're last.

I don't think the company is great, but the IPO is probably going to be pretty huge. April 14th

In addition, the company boasted 56M verified users (13M of them added in Q1 alone) and 6.1M monthly transacting users (+3.3M in Q1). Revenue growth over the last quarter was 207.6%, net income was up 312.9% and volume traded was up 272%.

Here's a breakdown of the main figures from the company's press release:

  • Verified Users of 56 million
  • Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs) of 6.1 million
  • Assets on Platform of $223 billion, representing 11.3% crypto asset market share
  • Includes $122 billion of Assets on Platform from Institutions
  • Trading Volume of $335 billion
  • Total Revenue of approximately $1.8 billion
  • Net Income of approximately $730 million to $800 million
