that Tender's high frequency

811
00:41:20,921 --> 00:41:23,840
was to circumvent local decency
and gambling laws, right?

Fake profits leads to fake cash,

You have to deploy
said fake cash.

818

Why? Because the cash reserves
are the first thing

819
00:41:39,121 --> 00:41:41,400
that an auditor looks at.
But how do you account

not being there?

Us?

1089
00:55:00,081 --> 00:55:03,561
To floodlighting
the whole fucking underside.

1090
00:55:04,041 --> 00:55:05,760
Huh.

1091
00:55:05,761 --> 00:55:09,840
Well, I spend so much time
listening to my higher brain

1092
00:55:09,841 --> 00:55:11,441
and its love of complexity
and...

1093
00:55:12,681 --> 00:55:15,241
all along your gut’s telling you
what’s truly right.

1094
00:55:16,201 --> 00:55:17,201
Yeah.

1095
00:55:18,601 --> 00:55:19,961
Trust your gut, I guess.

1096
00:55:25,001 --> 00:55:27,561
Don't ever fucking liquidate
my positions again.

1097
00:55:28,921 --> 00:55:30,121
Okay? I'm not some boy.

1098
00:55:31,881 --> 00:55:34,681
Okay, we fuck each other,
but not like that.

1099
00:55:36,761 --> 00:55:37,761
Is that clear?

1100
00:55:42,001 --> 00:55:43,001
Crystal.

1101
00:55:49,081 --> 00:55:53,521
I need to get together
these materials for this talk.

1102
00:56:00,481 --> 00:56:02,121
- Kwabena?
- Yeah?

1103
00:56:04,961 --> 00:56:07,441
If anybody calls for me,
tell them I'm busy.

1104
00:56:08,281 --> 00:56:09,520
I'm working.
