    i actually read what you posted & neatly set out

    answer me a frank question if, you or another can answer? (since i don't know the answer)

    1. if A lends $1,000 to B; and

    2. B uses the $1,000 to buy an asset from C for $1,000; and

    3. due to oversupply the asset becomes worth $400; and

    4. as a result B cannot repay A; so

    5. A takes a loss of $600 after liquidating the asset

    why has nothing changed?

    is not A worth $600 less but C worth $600 more?

    in other words, where does the money go?

    although the lenders may make losses does not someone have the lost money?

    thanks
