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
