that's not as like secured as like a government bond.

They're going to pay out.

But like my hand is behind my back.
Yeah, it's a shit show.
And this whole process is the largest sort of... I'm not sure if that's actually the largest.

You could just say whatever.

Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous.
It's a special purpose vehicle.
