Some lady tweeted out, simply brokering an Anthropic secondary deal made me more money than my entire net worth from working in my 20s.

Bankless

Anthropic shares are the gold and there's a lot of people selling picks and shovels.

They all kind of have fees.

There's increasing risk of whether the equity that these things claim to have, they actually have every time you go down a layer.

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

Can you just kind of explain that like structure that's emerged?

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

Is there such a thing as like accidental fraud or like people are doing their best intentions but because of the way that it is, they actually don't have the assets that they want?

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

Is there a gray area here?

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

Like, is it a different crime?

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

Okay, so it sounds like there's no, there's less gray area and it's actually kind of binary.

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

OK, so when so like we're going to talk about what happens when Anthropic actually IPOs and these shares become liquid and like a lot of this stuff settles.

Bankless
The $200 Billion Shadow Market Behind Anthropic's Stock | Dio Casares

But it doesn't sound like there is any like if there is like missing shares, it's because somebody was a bad person and they explicitly decided to like do fraud or a scam or or gross negligence at the very least.

Bankless

And so there's no, it doesn't sound like there's any sort of like accidental way to cause harm.
