Markets are flashing 2007 warning lights as a young, AI-focused hedge fund nearly collapses, echoing Bear Stearns’ 2007 meltdown that foreshadowed the financial crisis. Citadel, led by Ken Griffin, stepped in to rescue the fund—founded by a 24-year-old ex-AI researcher—raising alarms about Wall Street’s appetite for risky bets. The SEC is already probing banks that funded the bets, while global economic uncertainty grows, with investors flocking to gold and bitcoin amid fears of inflation and U.S. debt. Compounding the crisis: a rising tide of NEETs—youth out of education, employment, or training—making hiring younger workers costlier and harder for businesses.
